The book examines how the unapplied phenomenon of piezoelectricity became applied for technologies such as sonar, crystal frequency control, the quartz clock, and how its research has consequently changed during WWI and the interwar period.

Professor Shaul Katzir is the director of the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University, Israel. His scholarly interests range from ancient Greek science to twentieth century physics and technology. He has published extensively on the history of the physical sciences, connected technologies and their interactions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in leading venues. Katzir earned an MA (1996) and a PhD (2003) at Tel Aviv University. Before returning to his alma matter he was fellow of (among others) the Hebrew University, the Humboldt Foundation, the European Research Council, and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, where he is a regular visitor.
