Delivered by eminent scientists and scholars, including Nobel laureates, they cover a broad spectrum of subjects in physics, chemistry, life science, mathematics, historiography and social issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis distinguished memorial lecture series was inaugurated by the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities following an international symposium held in Jerusalem in March 1979 to commemorate the centenary of Albert Einstein's birth. Considering that Einstein's interests, activities and influence were not restricted to theoretical physics but spanned broad fields affecting society and the welfare of humankind, it was felt that these memorial lectures should be addressed to scientists, scholars and erudite laypersons rather than to physicists alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Can Pure Mathematics Offer to Society? \u003ci\u003e(W Timothy Gowers, Fields Medalist)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral Covariance and the Passive Equations of Physics \u003ci\u003e(Shlomo Sternberg, Professor of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Harvard University)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Structure of Quarks and Leptons \u003ci\u003e(Haim Harari, Professor of Nuclear Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful Theories \u003ci\u003e(Steven Weinberg, Nobel Laureate in Physics)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarmless Energy from Nuclei \u003ci\u003e(Carlo Rubbia, Nobel Laureate in Physics)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupramolecular Chemistry: From Molecular Information toward Self-Organization and Complex Matter \u003ci\u003e(Jean-Marie Lehn, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromatin and Transcription \u003ci\u003e(Roger Kornberg, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy, Environment, and the Responsibility of Scientists \u003ci\u003e(Yuan T Lee, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRes Ipsa Loquitur: History and Mimesis \u003ci\u003e(John E Wansbrough, Professor of Oriental and African Studies, University of London)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Scientists, students and lay people.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Co-published With World Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143741325552,"sku":"9789814452113","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814452113_p0.jpg?v=1763690887","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814452113","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
