The Wolf Foundation began its activities in 1976, with an initial
endowment donated by the Wolf family. Within a very short period of
time after its initiation, the Wolf prize has become one of the
major signs for recognition of scientific achievements and
excellence.This volume is devoted to a selection of Wolf Prize
laureates in Physics and each has included two respective major
publications as well as a commentary written by the laureate
describing his scientific career. Readers around the world are
provided a unique opportunity to get a glimpse of how scientific
processes work in physics, and to comprehend how these laureates
have left an indelible imprint on scientific history.Contributors:
