Seventy-five Years in an Exciting World

"Harald Friis's vignettes covering youth and his career at Bell Telephone Laboratories are pleasant reminders and inspiring lessons to many of us who were privileged to sit at Haralds' feet and absorb his wisdom for our future use. The casual reader of these autobiographical sketches will learn of the impact of a very wise man on the people and problems of research. In actuality his influence extended far beyond the people who worked directly with him. The waves he generated washed shores far from the Holmdel laboratory he created and led."--Foreward.
