This is his personal story intended for a broad scientifically curious audience with emphasis on the historic figures that defined the modern aspects of the field. Beginning with an account of his early life in Europe during the fateful period leading up to WW 2, it continues with his family's dramatic escape from the Nazis through their arrival to the US. His education at public institutions including Brooklyn College nurtured his love of physics from an early age. He earned his Ph D at Harvard and spent fruitful postdoc years at the Institute for Advanced Study and the Niels Bohr Institute where he met many of the luminaries of the field. Then followed a long career at Brandeis University and many visits to foreign institutions. His work earned him many awards and led to exotic experiences detailed in the later chapters. The appendices contain semi - technical descriptions of some essential physics as well as a more general commentary about the role of physics and physicists in understanding the universe.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Forks In The Road: A Life In Physics\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Deser Stanley (Brandeis Univ Usa \u0026amp; Caltech Usa)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9789811235665\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 164 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Physics","brand":"Deser Stanley (Brandeis Univ Usa \u0026 Caltech Usa)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49628042953009,"sku":"IN-G-9789811235665","price":28.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9789811235665.jpg?v=1724983972","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9789811235665-forks-in-the-road-a-life-in-physics","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
