This biography provides a stimulating and coherent blend of
scientific and personal narratives describing the many achievements
of the theoretical physicist Herbert Fröhlich. For more than half
a century, Fröhlich was an internationally renowned and much
respected figure who exerted a decisive influence, often as a
‘man ahead of his time’, in fields as diverse as meson theory
and biology. Although best known for his contributions to the
theory of dielectrics and superconductivity, he worked in many
other fields, his most important legacy being the pioneering
introduction quantum field-theoretical methods into condensed
matter physics in 1952, which revolutionised the subsequent
development of the subject. Gerard Hyland has written an absorbing
and informative account, in which Herbert Fröhlich’s magnetic
personality shines through.
