SIR NEVILL MOTT — 65 YEARS IN PHYSICS
edited by N F Mott & A S Alexandrov (University of Cambridge)
This volume contains a discriminating selection of papers with commentaries by one of the most creative theoretical physicists of our century, Nobel Laureate Sir Nevill Mott. His pioneering contributions (1928 – 1993) include Fermi liquid theory, metal-insulator transition, the theory of noncrystalline materials, high-temperature superconductivity and many other discoveries.
