This collection of essays by scientists from around the world
honors Victor Frederick Weisskopf, one of the true luminaries of
twentieth- century physics. Among the many breakthroughs his
research has yielded have been the theory of the widths of energy
levels of the electron, the "Clouded Crystal Ball" model of nuclear
structure, and the "MIT Bag" model of hadronic matter. For his
contributions to physics, Dr. Weisskopf has been awarded the Max
Planck Medal, the J. Robert Oppenheimer Medal, and most recently,
the Karl Taylor Compton Award. The essays in this book, by some of
the world's leading physicists, including seven nobel prize
winners, address topics ranging from Weisskopf's contributions to
theoretical physics to more intimate views of his role as teacher,
friend, and humanist. Contributors include: Hans A. Bethe; Hendrick
B.G. Casimir; Georges Charpak; Sidney D. Drell; Evgenii L.
Feinberg; Herman Feshbach; Jerome I. Friedman and Henry W. Kendall;
Murray Gell-Mann; Kurt Gottfried; J. David Jackson; Maurice Jacob;
Francis E. Low; Ove Nathan; Norman F. Ramsey; Walter Thirring; and
Charles H. Townes. For all his accomplishments, Victor Weisskopf
remains a contemplative and unpretentious man. Throughout the
world's scientific community he is known simply as Viki. The man
and his work are revealed here by the collaborators, colleagues,
and friends who know him best.
