Editorial Reviews

Review

The book benefits from the inclusion of previously unpublished material, informal lectures and conference-summary talks that are not widely available. These, together with the selected research papers, provide an excellent scientific biography of Nambu and of the Japanese physics tradition, which he describes in several places ... it is in the less formal presentations that the motivation for Nambu's ideas, as well as his charming modesty, become evident and make reading this collection the pleasure that it is. --Physics Today


Review

In the citation of Nobel physics prize committee, Nambu's unpublished paper presented at Mid West Conference at Purdue University in 1960 is referred to as the original article on spontaneously broken symmetry. This is the paper which we have decided to include in the volume `Broken Symmetry' because of its historical importance. The paper would have been inaccessible and may not have been noticed by the general public if it were not retyped and included in the volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest physicst you've never heard of., January 30, 2007
By Mobius (California USA) - See all my reviews
This volume is a collection of papers by one of the greatest theoretical physicsts you've probably never heard of (unless you yourself are a theoretical physicist). His fingerprints are on most of the major theoretical developments of the past half century, from spontaneous symmetry breaking to QCD to string theory. This collection features difficult to find papers, some unpublished, which had a profound impact. In an age so infused with vacuous hype, it is inspirational to review the work of such an original yet self-effacing thinker.
