{"product_id":"9789813108349","title":"Memorial Volume for Y. Nambu","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe have lost one of the giants of the twentieth century physics when Yoichiro Nambu passed away in July, 2015, at the age of 94.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday's Standard Model, though still incomplete in many respects, is the culmination of the most successful theory of the Universe to date, and it is built upon foundations provided by discoveries made by Nambu in the 1960s: the mechanism of spontaneously broken symmetry in Nature (with G Jona-Lasinio) and the hidden new SU(3) symmetry of quarks and gluons (with M-Y Han).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume honoring Nambu's memory, World Scientific Publishing presents a unique collection of papers written by his former colleagues, collaborating researchers and former students and associates, not only citing Nambu's great contributions in physics but also many personal and private reminiscences, some never told before. This volume also contains the very last scientific writing by Professor Nambu himself, discussing the development of particle physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a volume for all who benefited not only from Nambu's contributions toward understanding the Universe but also his warm and kind persona. It is a great addition to the history of contemporary physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective Field Theory, Past and Future \u003ci\u003e(Steven Weinberg)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu and the Origin of Mass \u003ci\u003e(Tom W B Kibble)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu: Visionary Theorist Who Shaped Modern Particle Physics \u003ci\u003e(Michael S Turner)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu \u003ci\u003e(Peter G O Freund, Jeffrey Harvey, Emil Martinec and Pierre Ramond)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu \u003ci\u003e(Jorge Willemsen)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu \u003ci\u003e(Louis Clavelli)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu: Remembering an Unusual Physicist, a Mentor and a Friend \u003ci\u003e(Giovanni Jona-Lasinio)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNambu–Goldstone Theorem and Spin-Statistics Theorem \u003ci\u003e(Kazuo Fujikawa)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-String Theory \u003ci\u003e(Paul H Frampton)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Reminiscences from a Long Friendship \u003ci\u003e(Lars Brink)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu: Visionary Gentleman Scientist \u003ci\u003e(Lay Nam Chang)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Roots of QCD, Nambu's Drama and Humor \u003ci\u003e(Moo-Young Han)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHommage à Nambu \u003ci\u003e(Pierre Ramond)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNambu at Work \u003ci\u003e(Peter G O Freund)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoichiro Nambu \u003ci\u003e(H B Nielsen)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix: Reminiscences of the Youthful Years of Particle Physics \u003ci\u003e(Yoichiro Nambu)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e University students and researchers interested in particle physics or the work of Professor Yoichiro Nambu. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated to Yoichiro Nambu, a Nobel laureate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by important collaborators of Nambu with prominent contributors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains the last scientific writing by Nambu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136843694320,"sku":"9789813108349","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789813108349_p0.jpg?v=1763690418","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789813108349","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
