	William Bradford Shockley (1910 - 1989)
		WILLIAM BRADFORD SHOCKLEY was a major participant in the physical discoveries and inventions that are the basis of the transistor era and the twentieth-century electronics industrial revolution.
		Shockley, the mother of William Shockley, had called her from Hollywood to say that her son had received an appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was planning to drive east with his De Soto convertible.
		Shockley returned to the idea of the field effect transistor, in which an externally applied electric field should, according to his calculations, modulate the current in a germanium filament, much as the grid in a vacuum tube controls the anode current.

	Bill Shockley, Part 1
		William Bradford Shockley clearly was one of the brightest scientists of the 20th century, yet he lived a life of noisy desperation.
		Shockley watched the wealth and power go to others, including the men he drove from his presence with his pride and churlishness.
		William was 24 years older than she; he was in his mid 50s.

	ISAR - 'FREED' Eugenic Research Board Established (Site not responding. Last check: )
		William Shockley of Stanford University, Nobel Prize-winning inventor of the transistor and persistent gadfly in the area of genetic investigation, announced over the weekend the addition of a famed University of California professor emeritus of paleontology as a director of FREED which Shockley heads.
		Shockley, a nationwide campaigner for drawing attention to the importance of genetic factors in intelligence and what he calls "human quality problems," has been rebuffed several times by the NAS in attempts to impress upon the elite scientific body the need for fullscale research into genetic problems.
		Shockley is in the forefront of a group of savants who stress the importance of genetics over environment - usually on the order of 75 to 80 percent - in determining innate human capacities.

	William Bradford Shockley
		Shockley joined the technical staff of the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936 and there began experiments that led to the invention and development of the junction transistor.
		John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and Shockley applied for a patent in 1948 [2]; this device which was described as a germanium "transfer resistance" unit, from which the name "transistor" was derived.
		Shockley continued his research on the device to create the germanium junction transfer transistor, which was much more reliable than the first unit.

	TIME 100: William Shockley
		The transistor was born just before Christmas 1947 when John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, two scientists working for William Shockley at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., observed that when electrical signals were applied to contacts on a crystal of germanium, the output power was larger than the input.
		Shockley, a very competitive and sometimes infuriating man, was determined to make his imprint on the discovery.
		William Bradford Shockley was born in London, where his father, a mining engineer, and mother, a mineral surveyor, were on a business assignment.

	In Conversation - 6 July 2006 - Joel Shurkin, biographer of William Shockley
		Shockley was an extraordinary man whose work gave birth to modern electronics, yet on a personal level, his colleagues felt he was deeply flawed.
		William Shockley, brilliant as he was, could be as nasty as they come; so much so, that his failure to keep a team together (they loathed him so much) produced the spill we now know as Silicon Valley.
		Just the two of them and the revolution came to Shockley while he was standing in the shower, a couple of hundred thousand dollars was spent and it was to a large extent squelched by the US government who had this huge project in New Mexico spending millions of dollars to build an atomic bomb.

		William Bradford Shockley, who was born on Feb. 13, 1910, and died August 12, 1989, belongs in our pantheon of saints because, with the invention of the transistor, he made electro-space possible.
		Shockley went beyond his scientific findings to suggest practical conclusions not directly deducible from his data.
		At Stanford, Shockley was burned in effigy, his Lincoln spray-painted, his classes disrupted by demonstrators dressed in bed sheets.

		William Bradford Shockley (February 13, 1910 – August 12, 1989) was a British-born American physicist and inventor of the transistor with co-inventors John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain, for which all three were awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in physics.
		In one famous incident he claimed that a secretary's cut thumb was an attempt to poison him, and he demanded lie detector tests to find the culprit.[1] It was later demonstrated the cut was due to a broken thumbtack on the office door, and from that point the research staff was increasingly hostile.
		Shockley believed that the higher rate of reproduction among African Americans was having a "dysgenic" effect, and expressed an interest in eugenics.

	William Shockley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shockley was born in London to American parents, and raised in California.
		This led Shockley to ideas for what he called a "sandwich transistor." This resulted in the junction transistor, which was announced at a press conference on July 4, 1951.
		Shockley's abrasive management style caused him to be passed over for executive promotion at Bell Labs, which also felt he was a greater asset as a research scientist and theorist.

	William Shockley: Still controversial, after all these years: 10/02
		About 30 colleagues of William Shockley, who came to Stanford in 1963 as a professor of electrical engineering and died in 1989, met Friday at the Center for Integrated Systems (CIS) to honor the co-inventor of the transistor.
		Shockley was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for that accomplishment in 1956, but later in his career publicized views on race, intelligence and eugenics that made him a leper among laureates.
		Shockley left Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J., in 1955 and headed west, convinced that germanium was not the material of choice for making miniature electrical switches.

		Shockley's biography does a good job of taking the reader through his life, from his incredibly innovative early days in science and engineering, his remarkable ability to find brilliant collaborators and bring them together, through to his tragic fascination in later life with eugenics.
