In the post-quantum-mechanics era, few physicists, if any, have
matched Julian Schwinger in contributions to and influence on the
development of physics. A deep and provocative thinker, Schwinger
left his indelible mark on all areas of theoretical physics; an
eloquent lecturer and immensely successful mentor, he was gentle,
intensely private, and known for being “modest about everything
except his physics”. This book is a collection of talks in memory
of him by some of his contemporaries and his former students: A
Klein, F Dyson, B DeWitt, W Kohn, D Saxon, P C Martin, K Johnson, S
Deser, R Finkelstein, Y J Ng, H Feshbach, L Brown, S Glashow, K A
Milton, and C N Yang. From it, one can get a glimpse of Julian
Schwinger, the physicist, the teacher, and the man. Altogether,
this book is a must for all physicists, physics students, and
others who are interested in great legends.
