An often humorous account of the growing pains and the unique architecture of a government-built community, this is the story of how the Atomic Energy Commission built the town of Los Alamos, one housing project after another. Since the time of the Manhattan Project, the town has rarely had enough suitable housing to meet the needs of all the residents. The stories of the people who have lived in Los Alamos come through in this study of the houses they have made into homes. Includes photos, charts, and maps.
