Philip
Anderson s work is characterized by mathe¬
matical simplicity combined with conceptual depth,
and by profound respect for experimental findings.
He has explored areas outside his main discipline,
the quantum theory of condensed matter (for which
he won the
1977
Nobel Prize), on several occasions:
his paper on what is now called the Anderson-Higgs
mechanism was a main source for Peter Higgs
elucidation of the boson; a crucial insight led to
work on the dynamics of neutron stars (pulsars);
and his concept of the spin glass led far afield, to
developments in practical computer algorithms and
in neural nets, and eventually to his involvement in
the early years of the Santa Fe Institute and his
co-leadership with Kenneth Arrow of two influential
workshops on economics at that institution. His
writing career started with a much-quoted article
in Science titled More Is Different in
1971 ;
he was
an occasional columnist for Physics Today in the
1980s
and
1990s.
He was more recently a reviewer
of science and science-related books for the Times
(London) Higher Education Supplement as well as
an occasional contributor to Science, Nature, and
other journals. This unique book presents the best
of Professor Anderson s non-technical writings.
Philip Anderson was educated at University
High
Schoot
in
Urbana,
Illinois, at Harvard
(BS
1943,
PhD
1949),
and further educated at
Bell Laboratories, where his career
(1949-1984)
coincided with the greatest period of that
remarkable institution. Starting in
1967,
he shared
his time with Cambridge University (until 197S)
and then with Princeton, where he continued full
time as Joseph Henry Professor until
1997.
As
шп
emeritus he remains active in research, and at
press time he was involved in several scientific
controversies about high profile subjects, in
which his point of view, though unpopular at
the moment, is likely to prevail eventually. His
colleagues have made him one of the two
physicists most often cited in the scientific
literature, for several decades.
Cover art: Paintings by Philip Anderson s daughter Susan
Anderson, who lives and works in Boston. She studied at the
Boston Museum School and taught drawing to students, faculty,
and staff at MIT Student Art from
1980
through
1999.
She is
fascinated by climate and weather, paradox, and complex
interactions such as science and art; inspiration, intuition, and
hard work. She uses color, energy, and line to invoke the web of
patterns in nature.
