First of a series of monographs that deal with single issues relevant to the history of Los Alamos. The series is called THE LOS ALAMOS STORY. Monograph 1 is an overview of Los Alamos from its geological/geographical setting, to its many populations—Indians, Spanish settlers, homesteaders, to the famous Los Alamos Ranch School, to the Manhattan Project which developed the atomic bomb in World War II, and to 1949 when the town was recognized as a part of the state of New Mexico rather than as a federal district.

Recollections from a friend and scientific colleague of the brilliant young director of the project that created the atomic bomb in Los Alamos during World War II.

Fourth in the series of monographs, THE LOS ALAMOS STORY. A fascinating look at how the Atomic Energy Commission built the town, housing project by housing project, after World War II. An often humorous account of the growing pains caused by the ubiquitous "point system" and the difficulty it caused in obtaining housing, as well as the unique architecture of a government-built community.

Norris Bradbury's energy, personality, and casual style combined with keen insight and scientific know-how to define his leadership of the Los Alamos Laboratory for twenty five years, despite his intentions to fill the position for only a six month interim term at war's end. He guided the laboratory's growth and established it as the premier research facility for nuclear energy and its applications. Bradbury's story is told by Ginny Ebinger with fond respect for the man who took on a challenge of global importance.

Drawing on the Los Alamos National Laboratory Archives and other primary sources, this book details the scientific contributions of Robert Bacher, one of the physicists who developed the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. In addition to his scientific work, Bacher held administrative positions with the Los Alamos Laboratory, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the president's Scientific Advisory Committee. Black and white historical photos are included.

In this book, Dorothy Hoard tells the stories of historic roads of Los Alamos, especially those from the homesteading era. She invites the reader to ramble along the roads and introduces them to the people who lived on the Pajarito Plateau and made these early roads.
