Summary:

"A party trick of rather doubtful repute is the ability to hold one's breath until the discourse gets quiet or the engagement wanes after confessing to mirthful revelers that one is a physicist who studies processes of fundamental interest with great importance to a broad swathe of critical technologies relying on electron beams. It is not entirely unexpected. Even at the start of the careers of those who view with some trepidation what is required (and they only perceive a sliver of it) but who come to relish that physics, the journey appears laborious and constantly beset with unanticipated but necessary side quests. So it was at the start of my odyssey. Research, like odysseys in general, does not come with a map. And yet, a good travel log can help, and those who write them return a benefit to future generations of physicists and engineers, paid for by past generations and the public at large"-- Provided by publisher.
