This book is a sequel to the volume of selected papers of Dyson up
to 1990 that was published by the American Mathematical Society in
1996. The present edition comprises a collection of the most
interesting writings of Freeman Dyson, all personally selected by
the author, from the period 1990-2014.The five sections start off
with an Introduction, followed by Talks about Science, Memoirs,
Politics and History, and some Technical Papers. The most
noteworthy is a lecture entitled Birds and Frogs to the American
Mathematical Society that describes two kinds of mathematicians
with examples from real life. Other invaluable contributions
include an important tribute to C. N. Yang written for his
retirement banquet at Stony Brook University, as well as a
historical account of the Operational Research at RAF Bomber
Command in World War II provocatively titled A Failure of
Intelligence. The final section carries the open-ended question of
whether any conceivable experiment could detect single gravitons to
provide direct evidence of the quantization of gravity - Is a
Graviton Detectable? Various possible graviton-detectors are
examined.This invaluable compilation contains unpublished lectures,
and surveys many topics in science, mathematics, history and
politics, in which Freeman Dyson has been so active and well
respected around the world.
