"The essays in this book are by some of the world's leading physicists, including seven Nobel Prize winners.

Each biographical essay was written by a member of the Academy familiar with the professional career of the deceased. For historical and bibliographical purposes, these volumes are worth returning to time and again.

This collection of essays by scientists from around the world honors Victor Frederick Weisskopf, one of the true luminaries of twentieth- century physics.

Written expressly for the general reader and beginning science student, the book describes our present scientific understanding of natural phenomena and the universality of that understanding and its human significance.

This second volume presents a more extensive and deeper treatment of the subjects treated in the first volume. It is not an independent book-Volume I is the chapter of the complete work.
