From Book News, Inc.
Martin, unidentified, begins with the small group of people who gathered on the New Mexico plateau in 1942 to build the atomic bomb. From there he traces the settlement patterns and domestic architecture of those who stayed after the war to form a permanent community, to the end of the century. The volume continues the Society's publication of material in its archives.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Book Description
Fourth in the series of monographs, THE LOS ALAMOS STORY. A fascinating look at how the Atomic Energy Commission built the town, housing project by housing project, after World War II. An often humorous account of the growing pains caused by the ubiquitous "point system" and the difficulty it caused in obtaining housing, as well as the unique architecture of a government-built community.
