| Dear
Subscriber,
A remarkable personal and professional chronicle by one of
today's leading physicists, Selected Papers (1945-1980) Of Chen
Ning Yang is a collection of Chen Ning Yang's
personally selected papers supplemented by his insightful commentaries.
Including previously unpublished or hard-to-find works, this
volume contains Yang's important papers on statistical
physics, nuclear forces, and particle physics. Among them are
his seminal work with T D Lee on the nonconservation of parity, for
which they won the Nobel Prize, and his work with R L Mills,
which led to modern gauge theories with their exciting prospects for
the broad unification of field theories.
For a limited time, you can get your copy at a special discounted price from our online
bookstore. This offer is valid from now till 30 June, 2011. Please
recommend this important title to your library and colleagues.

The commentaries were written especially for this volume and
provide a fascinating account of Yang's development as a physicist as
well as a look at many important physicists of the 20th century. They
trace the development of Yang's interests and ideas from his graduate
school days to the present, showing how he worked with his colleagues
and how their physics came into being.
Together, the papers and commentaries in this unique
collection comprise a powerful personal statement, shedding light on
both the intellectual development of a great physicist and on the
nature of scientific inquiry.
