Sidney Coleman (1937-2007) was a renowned theoretical physicist,
who taught for more than forty years at Harvard University. He
contributed critical work on quantum field theory, high-energy
particle physics, and cosmology. He was also a remarkably effective
teacher who introduced generations of physicists to quantum field
theory, mentoring several leading members in the field. His sense
of humor and wit became legendary. This selection of his previously
unpublished correspondence illuminates changes in theoretical
physics and in academic life over the course of Coleman's
illustrious career.The letters show the depth of Coleman's
activities and interests, including science fiction, space travel,
and the US counter culture.The volume also includes Coleman's
legendary lecture 'Quantum Mechanics in Your Face.'
