Physics and Our World : World Scientific Publishing : 9789814434966 : 9814434965 : 24 Dec 2013 : This book reproduces the papers collected from the proceedings of a symposium organized in honor of Victor Weisskopf in 1974 at MIT. The papers merit attention because of their historic significance. Particle physics was at a crucial transition point ? at the emergence of the Standard Model ? owing to experiments that point to the existence of quarks. The contributors in this book include Hans Bethe, Julian Schwinger, Edward Purcell, T D Lee, Murray Gell-Mann, Ben Mottelson, Max Delbrück and other renowned scientists. The book also features a number of photographs taken during the event and a commentary by K Huang.
