I have published more than 60 journal articles or book chapters and am the author or editor of seven published books in the history of science (see below), and a collection of historical vignettes about the University of Illinois:  Lillian Hoddeson (ed.), No Boundaries:  University of Illinois Vignettes. During the 1970s and 80s,I explored the roots of industrial research at Bell Laboratories and the rise of solid-state physics, serving as the research director of the American section of the International Project on the History of Solid-State Physics, This work resulted in the major historical volume, Out of the Crystal Maze:  Chapters from the History of Solid-State Physics, edited by Hoddeson, Ernest Braun, Jürgen Teichmann, and Spencer Weart (New York:  Oxford University Press, 1992). I also worked on several problems of big science, in high-energy physics and in the development of atomic weapons.  One result was the first technical history of the atomic bomb based on the full complement of classified as well as unclassified documents:  Critical Assembly:  a History of Los Alamos During the Oppenheimer Years, 1943-1945 (New York:  Cambridge University Press, 1993), authored by Hoddeson, Paul Henriksen, Roger Meade and Catherine Westfall.  During the 1990s, I embarked on two more popular history writing projects resulting in Michael Riordan and Lillian Hoddeson, Crystal Fire:  the Birth of the Information Age (N.Y.:  W. W. Norton, 1997), and Lillian Hoddeson and Vicki Daitch, True Genius:  the Life and Science of John Bardeen (Washington, D. C.:  Joseph Henry Press, 2002); both books won a number of awards. In addition, with Laurie Brown and others, I organized three symposia on the history of particle physics, which resulted in the widely cited volumes:  (with L. M. Brown) The Birth of Particle Physics (New York:  Cambridge University Press, 1983); (with L. M. Brown and M. Dresden) Pions to Quarks (New York:  Cambridge University Press, 1989), and (with L. M. Brown, M. Riordan, and M. Dresden) The Rise of the Standard Model (New York:  Cambridge University Press, 1997).  My most recent book, The Ring of the Frontier:  Megascience at Fermilab, coauthored with Adrienne Kolb and Catherine Westfall, is in press with the University of Chicago press, and scheduled to appear in 2007.  I am presently working with Michael Riordan and Adrienne Kolb on a failed episode in the history of particle accelerators, Tunnel Visions:  The Rise and Fall of the Superconducting Super Collider and on two new projects dealing with memory and history.
