Description
Steven Weinberg's memoir offers a unique insight into his life as a physicist and public figure. With candour and wit, he shares his experiences, from his early days as a student to the golden age of particle physics in the 1970s.
In addition to his research insights, Weinberg provides a behind-the-scenes look at his academic career, including his work on the 'two-body problem', tenure, international conference travel, and book-writing. This engaging account is likely to appeal to physicists, historians of science, and anyone interested in the life and times of a leading figure in modern physics.
