{"product_id":"9789814434980","title":"Physics And Our World: Reissue Of The Proceedings Of A Symposium In Honor Of Victor F Weisskopf: Reissue of the Proceedings of a Symposium in Honor of Victor F Weisskopf","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the proceedings of a symposium in honor of Victor Weisskopf at MIT, this volume contains papers by leaders of physics at the time, including M Delbrück, M Gell-Mann, H Bethe, T D Lee, B R Mottelson, W K H Panofsky, E Purcell, J Schwinger, S M Ulam, and others. Some papers address problems in the philosophy of physics, and physics and society, that are timeless in nature. But the symposium had a historical significance, in that it took place at a historic juncture of particle physics — the emergence of the Standard Model owing to experiments that point to the existence of quarks. Some of the papers reflect both the pre-quark and post-quark points of view. For these reasons, these proceedings merit reissue and reexamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroductory Remarks \u003ci\u003e(James Killian)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Energy Problem \u003ci\u003e(Hans Bethe)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel-Free Views of Deep Inelastic Scattering \u003ci\u003e(Julian Schwinger)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife at Low Reynolds Number \u003ci\u003e(E M Purcell)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Possible New Form of Matter at High Density \u003ci\u003e(T D Lee)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe World as Quarks, Leptons and Bosons \u003ci\u003e(Murray Gell-Mann)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Angular Momentum Can Do to the Nucleus \u003ci\u003e(Ben R Mottelson)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysics for Mathematicians \u003ci\u003e(S M Ulam)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Aristotle Discovered DNA \u003ci\u003e(Max Delbrück)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs Negotiated Arms Control Possible? \u003ci\u003e(W K H Panofsky)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Third Culture \u003ci\u003e(David Hawkins)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Academics, graduate students and people interested in particle and nuclear physics.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185287151856,"sku":"9789814434980","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814434980_p0.jpg?v=1763691384","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814434980","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
