E.P. Wigner, one of the leading scientists involved in the early
development of nuclear technology, had always in mind its political
and social implications. In the 60s persuing his goal of a peaceful
open world he began to develop the concept of Civil Defense against
nuclear attacks. Looking back one might see this as an alternative
to the concept of the Nuclear Shield. The present volume contains a
selection of Wigner's writings on this subject. It is annotated by
Conrad Chester.

Originally published in 1972, the twelve articles in this volume
discuss various aspects of quantum mechanics that owe their origin
to the work of P. A. M. Dirac. Each of the distinguished
contributors reviews Dirac's work and discusses its development in
some detail. Since Dirac's work ranged widely, the resulting volume
constitutes a valuable survey of the state of quantum mechanics. A
small part of the book contains personal reminiscences of Dirac in
Cambridge and of his early visits to the USA and gives a historical
account of the development of quantum mechanics during the decade
1924 1933, aptly termed 'the golden age of theoretical physics'.
