Presents a study of that scientific work and the human struggles that accompanied quantum theory from the beginning.

This is the first biography of Julian Schwinger, one of the great theoretical physicists of the twentieth century. A long-time colleague and collaborator of Richard Feynman, he was the joint winner with Feynman of the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics for their work on quantum electrodynamics. However his contribution extended far beyond this, and his life and achievements are chronicled in this book.

Offers a historical study of Quantum Theory, and the human struggles that accompanied it from the beginning.

Quantum Theory, together with the principles of special and general relativity, constitute a scientific revolution that has profoundly influenced the way in which we think about the universe and the fundamental forces that govern it. This is a historical study of that scientific work and the human struggles that accompanied it from the beginning.
