註釋

"From the electron to the quark, from x-rays to astrophysics, from the wireless to the laser - this fascinating story of discovery and invention can be traced through this collection of biographies of the 114 men and women who have been awarded the Nobel Prize for physics. Robert Weber records the lives and achievements of this select band of scientists whose names are more usually associated with equations or phenomena, highlighting their Prize-winning work and its significance, from the inception of the Prizes in 1901 to the awards of 1979. The biographies feature unique portrait drawings of the laureates and provide insights into their personalities, interests and lifestyles. Together they present an informal survey of change in twentieth-century science which will be of great interest to the layman and the scientist alike." -- dustjacket fly-leaf.
