Enrico Fermi s scientific work, noted for its originality and
breadth, has had lasting consequences throughout modern science.
Written by close colleagues as well as scientists whose fields were
profoundly influenced by Fermi, the papers collected here
constitute a tribute to him and his scientific legacy. They were
commissioned on the occasion of his 100th birthday by the Italian
Physical Society and confirm that Fermi was a rare combination of
theorist, experimentalist, teacher, and inspiring colleague. The
book is organized into three parts: three biographical overviews by
close colleagues, replete with personal insights; fourteen analyses
of Fermi's impact by specialists in their fields, spanning physics,
chemistry, mathematics, and engineering; and a year-by-year
chronology of Fermi s scientific endeavors. Written for a general
scientific audience, Enrico Fermi: His Work and Legacy offers a
highly readable source on the life of one of the 20th century's
most distinguished scientists and a must for everybody interested
in the history of modern science."
