In a remarkable career spanning more than six decades, Philip W
Anderson has made many fundamental contributions to physics. As
codified in his oft-quoted phrase 'More is Different', Anderson has
been the most forceful and persuasive proponent of the radical, but
now ubiquitous, viewpoint of emergent phenomena: truly fundamental
concepts that can and do emerge from studies of Nature at each
layer of complexity or energy scale. Anderson's ideas have also
extended deeply into other areas of physics, including the
Anderson-Higgs mechanism and the dynamics of pulsars.PWA90: A
Lifetime of Emergence is a volume of original scientific essays and
personal reminiscences of Philip W Anderson by experts in the
field, that were presented as part of 'PWA90: Emergent Frontiers of
Condensed Matter' meeting held at Princeton in December 2013 to
highlight Anderson's contributions to physics.
