Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology [E-Book] : Festschrift in Honor of Eugene P. Wigner / edited by Jeffery Lewins, Martin Becker.
Our volume in the annual review series on this occasion represents a departure from our usual practice in that it serves as a Festschrift for Eugene Wigner. Dr. Wigner has won many honours in his long, wide ranging and distinguished career spanning so many upheavals in civilized life. The editors an...
