Knowing the grand old man as I\r\ndid, I can say that he never intended his \"blessing\" should become the\r\ncurse to mankind that it did. And the catastrophe it brought about was\r\ncertainly beyond range of all prophecy.\nOf course, anyone who lived in 1972 and tried to get inside Stegner's\r\nweird life-circle must agree that you can get too much of a good thing.\r\nEven a pumpkin can get too bigand that's what happened when the Prof\r\nturned on his fieldthings got big; and too darned healthy!\nI was there the day Stegner announced the results of ten year's research\r\non his selector. Nearly everyone present had read the sensational\r\narticles concerning his work in the feature sections of the big town\r\nnewspapers. Like the rest, I had a vague idea of what it was about. It\r\nseemed the Prof had developed a device that repelled various particles\r\nof matter without effecting others. In short, if he turned on his\r\ngadget, gravity reversed itself for certain elements, and they went away\r\nin a hurry. Like this: he could take oxide of iron, turn on his\r\nselective repellor, and the rust rather magically turned to pure iron\r\nwithout the oxygen. Or, he could take a pile of mixed chemicals, turn\r\nhis control knobs to the elements known to be present in the mixture,\r\nand presto! Only certain ones, of his choosing remained. The atoms of\r\nthe other elements conveniently left the vicinity.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 32582 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Shaver, Richard S. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 29, 2010 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Shaver, Richard S.,1907-1975 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43219847184541,"sku":"gb-32582-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/32582.jpg?v=1671534417","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/of-stegner-s-folly-gb-32582","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
