The world's annual average temperature in 2023 is expected to be the highest on record [1]. Although its principal cause is unknown, many people believe the increase in global warming gases such as carbon dioxide is mainly responsible. Therefore, governments, various institutions, and major companies around the world are embarking on countermeasures. For example, efforts are being made to replace conventional power generation using fossil fuels with nuclear power plants and various renewable energy sources that can reduce global warming gases.

Like many of us, I have attended numerous panels, seminars, and workshops geared toward helping young professionals and students. The more senior professionals are gathered for us to question and tap them for wisdom and anecdotes. One such question that inevitably comes up in one form or another is, “How did you get to where you are?” A thinly veiled question intending to ask how can one get to the same or similar position. The response often begins with a soft chuckle and a “well … ” Their answers are caveated by “my path was not the typical path.”

The invention of the transistor during the late 1940s had a significant effect on the high-technology systems we enjoy today, and the inventors of the transistor (in its first form called the point contact transistor) won the Nobel prize in 1964. John Bardeen and Walter Brattain's early work followed by the contribution of William Schockley to invent the junction transistor affected the early electronic engineering systems, driving them into the miniaturization path of modern integrated circuit technology. Bardeen is recorded in history as the scientist who won the Nobel prize for the same subject (physics) twice. This book provides a highly readable historic account of the development of the transistors over a quarter century leading into the VLSI technology we see in portable products and consumer electronics today.
