Description
Tabibito: A Memoir of Early Years and Scientific Discovery Written by Hideki Yukawa at the age of fifty, this autobiography offers a unique insight into the life and experiences that shaped his character and career. Yukawa recounts his family background, education, and intellectual pursuits, providing valuable context for understanding his scientific relationships and contributions. The book is particularly notable for its discussions of Yukawa's collaborations with prominent scientists, including Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, Yoshio Nishina, Sakata, Taketani, and Kobayashi. These interactions not only influenced his work but also had a lasting impact on the development of nuclear physics. The memoir concludes with the writing of Yukawa's first scientific paper in English, marking a significant milestone in the meson theory of nuclear forces. The book includes an original paper by Yukawa on the meson theory and an introduction by Professor L M Brown, adding depth and historical significance to the narrative.
