Beyond Oil and Gas: The Methanol Economy Book

This book was a very fun read for me. As a plasma physicist in the fusion field, I was already familiar with the physics and very much wanted to know some of the history of the ITER project. This book is exactly the sort of book to read if you want to know the "pre-history" of the ITER project. It details the INTOR workshop only, which eventually led to the ITER project as it now stands (with plenty of years intervening). As Stacey was a major participant, he gives plenty of interesting information on how the project was begun and a couple of fun anecdotes.

He does not give very much information about how magnetic fusion works, as this is primarily a history, although he gives some information now and then.
