Unification of Fundamentals Physics: The First 1988 Dirac Memorial Lecture

This is an expanded version of the third Dirac Memorial Lecture, given in 1988 by the Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam. Salam's lecture presents an overview of the developments in modern particle physics from its inception at the turn of the century to the present theories seeking to unify all the fundamental forces. In addition, two previously unpublished lectures by Paul Dirac, and Werner Heisenberg are included.  These lectures provide a fascinating insight into their approach to research and the developments in particle physics at that time.    Nonspecialists, undergraduates and researchers will find this a fascinating book.  It contains a clear introduction to the major themes of particle physics and cosmology by one of the most distinguished contemporary physicists.

Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam raised an enlightening view point, which was based on a wealth of materials, in his paper prepared for the Meeting of the South Commission. This document also represents the common view of many scientists from third world countries and it has become a very important investigative report and proposal.

SELECTED PAPERS OF ABDUS SALAM (WITH COMMENTARY) (World Scientific 20th Century Physics)

This is a selection from over 250 papers published by Abdus Salam. Professor Salam has been Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College, London and Director of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, for which he was largely responsible for creating. He is one of the most distinguished theoretical physicists of his generation and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1979 for his work on the unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions. He is well known for his deep interest in the development of scientific research in the third world (to which ICTP is devoted) and has taken a leading part in setting up the Third World Academy. His research work has ranged widely over quantum field theory and all aspects of the theory of elementary particles and more recently into other fields, including high-temperature superconductivity and theoretical biology. The papers selected represent a cross section of his work covering the entire period of 50 years from his student days to the present.
