In this memorial volume, twenty-four of Dirac's closest friends,
colleagues and contemporaries remember him with affection. Dirac,
who died in 1984, was unquestionably one of the greatest physicists
of the twentieth century. The book describes his human side, with
many anecdotes about the man with a reputation for silence. His
immense influence on modern physics is surveyed in chapters written
by eminent scientists. Dirac was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Physics in 1933 at the age of thiry-one. His tremendous
contributions to the field included his prediction of the magnetic
moment and antiparticles as well as the spin of the electron. His
formulations of the quantum field theory, statistics of particles
and fields, his work on gravitational waves, and his prediction of
magnetic monopoles stand as monuments to his originality and deep
understanding of natural phenomena. This book will appeal to anyone
interested in the development of quantum theory or in Paul Dirac.
