Book and Magazine Quotes:

"As the student proceeds from his freshman course to and through his doctoral dissertation, the problems assigned to him become more complex and less completely precedented.  But they continue to be closely modeled on previous acheivements as are the problems that normally occupy him during his subsequent independent scientific career." Thomas S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions pg 47.

"Before the Bomb there were simply bombs, lower-case. The word itself is ancient. It means, simply, a canister in which an explosive or noxious substance is placed. That canister was thrown, shot, dropped, or simply deposited for the purpose of causing mayhem. Prior to the advent of gunpowder, bombs were not explosive, they were merely annoying. A container filled with some vile substance was hurled at the enemy, who would promptly hurl one back. In fact, the concept predates the word. It is easy to imagine the prehistoric man probably took the bladder from an animal, filled it with shit and threw it at his adversary. Bombs are as old as hatred itself. But only since 1945 have we spoken of the Bomb."
The Bomb: A Life, Gerald J. DeGroot Chapter 1, page 2.
