"The neglect of cold fusion is
one of the biggest scandals in the history of science. ... The
Rebirth of Cold Fusion, by Steven B. Krivit and Nadine
Winocur, takes a fresh look at this still unresolved debate. An
unbiased reader finishing this book will sense that something
strange and wonderful is happening at the 'fringes' of science.
... The future is almost unlimited. It can be the end of the
fossil fuel age, ... and the end, incidentally, of many of our
worries about global pollution and global warming. ... This book
strengthens my hope."
Sir
Arthur C. Clarke, Fellow, Kings College, London

"The Rebirth of Cold Fusion
gives much insight into how the 'due processes of science' came up
with a decision that now appears to have been precisely the wrong
one."
Brian Josephson, Nobel prize for
physics, 1973

"Krivit and Winocur have done
an amazing job in putting together the pieces of this complex and
controversial subject. The Rebirth of Cold Fusion makes a
powerful argument and does a nice job of story-telling. I found the book to be an engaging, urgent, and passionate
brief for a new look at cold fusion as well as a step-by-step
guide to the science, history, and issues surrounding a drama that
has profound implications for the future of humanity and our
planet."
Bennett Daviss, award-winning science journalist

"The book arrived today. I can't put it down!
The subject matter is fascinating, the research
is impressive, and the writing is magnificent. My thanks to both you and Dr. Winocur for a good
job well done."
Bill Schmidt |
"Written with the
nonscientific lay public in mind, The Rebirth of Cold Fusion
is clearly an eye-opening book. It illuminates the fact that
science is not nearly as well-defined as it would seem. Krivit and Winocur have documented the great personal and
professional challenges faced by scientists trying to search for
truth inside the 'cold fusion' cell."
Frank E. Gordon, Head, Navigation
and Applied Sciences Department of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego, United

"The
Rebirth of Cold Fusion is an important report in the good
tradition of American investigative journalism. It exposes a
scandalous case of scientific misconduct, engages those who are
guilty of foul play, and sets the record straight. The book comes
at a critical moment in which a neglected field of inquiry is
fighting for recognition. Let's hope it helps cold fusion gain
the support a potential energy source deserves. Everybody should
be aware of the facts in this book."
Haiko Lietz, science reporter, German National Radio

"Basic research and its progress depend upon
how open the society is to accept new ideas and pursue them to the
end - right or wrong. The Rebirth of Cold Fusion brings out
the important question of whether the present form of peer review
and financial control by government agencies help in new
innovations or not. It is obvious that some changes have to be
made, with the future in view."
Dr. P. K. Iyengar, Chairman (retired),
Atomic Energy Commission, India |
"Congratulations
on the production of a very useful and readable book. The
Rebirth of Cold Fusion fills an evident and urgent need to
inform the scientific and lay public about this topic which has
been so massively misrepresented in the literature. You have done
sterling work on this."
Dr. Martin Fleischmann, co-discoverer
of cold fusion |

"The Rebirth of Cold Fusion is a fine book, done the
old-fashioned way, with hard work. I hope the world reads it; it
is well-written and powerful. I hope the world acts on it; it is
clear, concise and concrete."
Michael Staker, materials scientist and research engineer
|
"The Rebirth of Cold Fusion is an
excellent and timely update. Written for both the uninitiated and
the honest skeptic, it is a lucid presentation of the challenging
science and the unfortunate politics behind this field. Winocur
and Krivit give us hope that the spirit of true Science may
prevail!"
M. Srinivasan, associate director, (retired), Physics
Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, India |
"Krivit and Winocur certainly have done
their homework. The
Rebirth of Cold Fusion is going to be an important
contribution."
Edmund Storms, Los
Alamos National Laboratory (retired) |
"The Rebirth of Cold Fusion is a very good read - it has re-kindled my
pride in being part of this field and has served to remind me why
I've spent the last twelve years immersed in this magnificent
obsession."
Dennis Letts, alternative energy
researcher |
"The
Rebirth of Cold Fusion is a very important and timely book. It
may help educate a generation of physicists told to believe cold
fusion doesn't exist."
Robert H. Parmenter, Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of
Arizona, and co-author of "Cold Fusion in Metals" (Proceedings,
National Academy of Science,
Vol. 86, 1989) with Willis E. Lamb, Nobel prize winner in Physics,
1955 |
"The
account that Krivit and Winocur have given of the chemically
assisted nuclear reactions is more penetrating and historically
more well-based than anything previously published. I think that,
historically, their previous report might be taken as the trigger
which started the landslide. In just six years, the Hubbert peak
will be reached. Will we be saved by the new nuclear
reactions?"
John O'M.
Bockris, Distinguished Professor, (retired), Texas
A&M University |
"Krivit and Winocur offer a broad introduction
to the science of cold fusion research in a manner that is
accessible to the general reader and essential for the science
reporter."
C.G. Beaudette, author of Excess Heat
& Why Cold Fusion Research Prevailed |
"Krivit and Winocur
present a historical review of the field with first hand
interviews of key scientists involved over the years. Thought
provoking with regards to the environmental issues we face and the
need for a new clean energy source, the authors do a great job of
educating. Highly recommended by this atomic blogger. There have
been other excellent textbooks on the subject in the past ... but
this one is genuinely a voice of the community."
