https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2TDWIY Blurb: Steven B. Krivit's *Explorations in Nuclear Research* three-book series (*Hacking the Atom, Fusion Fiasco, Lost History*) describes the emergence of a new field of science, one that bridges chemistry and physics. The books give readers an understanding of low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR) research and its history and provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at the players and personalities involved. The books present the results of in-depth historical research and draw on formerly inaccessible archives to describe what occurred in the research that has been mistakenly called "cold fusion."
