[From back cover] Originally published in 1974, Sin-itiro Tomonagaââ¬â¢s The Story of Spin remains the most complete and accessible treatment of the subject, and is now available for the first time in English translation. Tomonaga tells the tale of the pioneers of physics and their difficult journey toward an understanding of the nature of spin and its relationship to statistics. Beginning with a historical description of atomic spectroscopy, Tomonaga then introduces the idea of the spinning electron, the quantum mechanical formulation of spin presented by Pauli, and the relativistic equation, derived ââ¬Åacrobaticallyââ¬Â by Dirac, which turned out to be the theory of electron spin and its magnetic moment. Next we learn about the discovery of proton spin, the magnetic interactions among spins, the Yukawa particle, spinor algebra, the crucial relations between spin and statistics, the establishment of nuclear physics and the concept of ââ¬Åisospin,ââ¬Â and the Thomas factor. Tomonaga concludes his tour de force of spin with his personal reminiscences of one of the most exciting periods in the history of physics, a time that saw the development of quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and elementary particle physicsââ¬Â¦ Sin-itiro Tomonaga shared the Nobel Prize in physics in 1965 for his work in the development of quantum electrodynamics. His other writings included Quantum Mechanics and What Is Physics Like? Takeshi Oka is Robert A. Millikan Distinguished Service Professor of Chemistry, Astronomy, and Astrophysics at the Enrico Fermi Institute of the University of Chicago., University of Chicago Press, 1998-08-15

Trade paperback, Fine., Text in English, Japanese. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 265 p. Contains: Unspecified, Illustrations, black & white. All atomic particles have a particular "spin", analagous to the rotation of the Earth about its axis. This mysterious quality has vast practical importance to topics as wide-ranging as the stability of atoms and stars and magnetic resonance imaging. This is an accessible treatment of the subject., Chicago, IL, [PU: University of Chicago Press]
