Outgrowth of the author's thesis (Ph. D.--University of California, Irvine, 2010) under title: Managing vision, envisioning management: representations of labor and technological systems in Gilded Age America.

No single figure embodies Cold War science more than the renowned physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Journalists and politicians, writers and artists have told Oppenheimer's story in many different ways since he first gained notoriety in 1945. In Storytelling and Science, David K.
