Widlar's Early Treatise on Semiconductors

Fudging data is a big no-no, but there's absolutely no evidence that the climate guys at East Anglia - Climategate - did anything of the sort.

The denialist propaganda machine blew a lot of smoke about it, but Fred Pearce's "The Climate Files"

clears them of any data-fudging. Fred Pearce didn't like the way they went after a crooked editor at some minor climate science journal, who published a denialist-planted paper despite it being rejected by four referees, but that's because he's a typical UK science journalist who knows very little about how science actually works.

Agreed.

Absolutely. You can learn stuff even if it is less well-presented than it might be. And semi-conductor physics wouldn't exist without a lot of high-powered chemistry.

Thanks!!!
