商品描述

Steven Weinberg shares his candid thoughts, in his own words, on theoretical physics and cosmology, along with personal anecdotes and recollections of the people who helped shape his career. These memoirs of his life as a scientist and public figure cover his student days and early career, through the golden age of particle physics in the 1970s, his being awarded the Nobel prize, through to the end of the twentieth century. In addition to his research insights, Weinberg provides glimpses into his life in academia more broadly: dealing with the 'two-body problem', tenure, international conference travel, his book-writing, advisory work with JASON, and his advocacy for the Superconducting Super Collider. Physicists, historians of science and interested readers will find the presentation engaging and often witty, as Weinberg reflects on his life in physics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

史蒂芬·溫伯格(Steven Weinberg)在這本書中分享了他對理論物理學和宇宙學的坦率看法,並附上了個人轶事和對那些幫助塑造他職業生涯的人的回憶。這些回憶錄涵蓋了他作為科學家和公共人物的生活,包括他的學生時代和早期職業生涯,經歷了1970年代粒子物理學的黃金時代,獲得諾貝爾獎,直到20世紀末。除了他的研究見解外,溫伯格還提供了他在學術界更廣泛生活的點滴:處理「雙體問題」(two-body problem)、終身職(tenure)、國際會議旅行、寫書、與JASON的顧問工作,以及他對超導超對撞機(Superconducting Super Collider)的倡導。物理學家、科學史學家和感興趣的讀者將會發現這本書的內容引人入勝且常常幽默,因為溫伯格反思了他在物理學中的生活。
