I don't see how you can understand the latter half of the 20th century without knowing about the birth of the transistor, the engineering feat which gave us personal computers, smartphones, and so much more. This is a well-written account of the discovery. This is part of the great Sloan Technology Series.

The first third of this is all quantum physics ( finally made the connection that it's the Pauli principle that's keeping atoms from collasping, that's why it was neccessary )
