Reviews

"The impact of the Canadian Light Source on Canada's domestic and international science programs, and on science in general, is well described. Bancroft also provides a most interesting discussion about the envisioned application of the Canadian Light Source to future research breakthroughs. This book will be welcomed by those readers especially interested in Canadian science and research infrastructure." - A. M. Strauss, Vanderbilt University (CHOICE) "This book will be welcomed by those readers especially interested in Canadian science and research infrastructure." - A.M.
