The beginnings of solid state physics [sound recording] : a symposium / organized by Sir Nevill Mott, held 30 April - 2 May 1979.

Sir Nevill Mott organized this symposium which took place at the Royal Society of London in the Spring of 1979. The objective was to collect together the reminiscences of some of the scientists who took part in the development of solid state electronics. The participants in the open discussion included: J. Bardeen, B. Coles, A. H. Cottrell, P.B. Hirsch, H. Jones, N. F. Mott, F. R. N. Nabarro, R. E. Peierls, H. Rosenberg, A. Seeger, D. Shoenberg, F. Sondheimer, A. H. Wilson; and historians, E. Braun, M. Gowing, L. Hoddeson, and K. von Mayenn.
