Physics and society

essays in honor of Victor Frederick Weisskopf

"This collection of essays by scientists from around the world honors Victor Frederick Weisskopf, one of the true luminaries of twentieth-century physics. Among the many breakthroughs his research has yielded have been the theory of the widths of energy levels of the electron, the "Clouded Crystal Ball" model of nuclear structure, and the "MIT Bag" model of hadronic matter.".

"The essays in this book are by some of the world's leading physicists, including seven Nobel Prize winners. The essays address topics ranging from Weisskopf's contributions to theoretical physics to more intimate views of his role as a teacher, friend, and humanist."--BOOK JACKET.
