Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American
"The reader is treated to an inside story of a great man. The present translation ... loses none of the intricate feelings ..."

From The New Yorker
"(Yukawa's) penetrating self-analysis is nicely translated ... a knowing introduction to Japanese physics in times of the narrative ..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Tabibito (The Traveler), April 30, 2000

By	"ryoma" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

This book is an autobiography of Hideki Yukawa, who is the most famous physicist in Japan, and also one of the most famous physicists in the world. In fact, he is the first Nobel prize winner in Japan. In the period when he found his theory, Japan was kind of isolated in the world. In this are, how did he find very famous his theory? You will know it if you read this book. And to tell the truth, he was NOT intrested in physics so much first. You will know why he bigun to study physics. I strongly recommend this book!
