Was at a used bookstore in a small Arkansas town, stumbled on an interesting book so I bought it.

I got to thinking I wonder who is involved in magnetohydrodynamic back in 1956, very interested so I looked up Louis N Ridenhour and it turns out he has a Wikipedia page. Like many California physicists from the 40s and 50s he did not live a long life but in 1957 this would have been among the most advanced science.

And the editor was a manhattan project physist from Germany with an equally impressive bio:
