The Recollections of Eugene P. Wigner

By: Eugene Paul Wigner,Andrew Szanton

This memoir, a fruitful collaboration between Eugene Wigner and writer Andrew Szanton, reveals a story by turns endearing, painful, and ultimately triumphant. A witness to many of the changes of the twentieth century, Wigner grew up amid the political turmoil of Hungary. He later experienced the Berlin of the early 1930s as Hitler rose to power. During World War II, he took an active role in the Manhattan Project, the building of the world's first atomic bomb. In his recollections, he conveys the exultation of observing the first successfully controlled nuclear chain reaction.

The Collected Works of Eugene Paul Wigner

By: Eugene Paul Wigner

Eugene Wigner is one of the few giants of 20th-century physics. The present annotated volume begins with a short biographical sketch followed by Wigner's papers on group theory, an extremely powerful tool he created for theoretical quantum physics.

Nuclear Energy

By: Alvin M. Weinberg

Eugene Wigner is one of the very few scientists that may safely be describedas creators of 20th-century physics. This volume of his Collected Works is devoted to his contributions to nuclear energy. In his Introduction and Annotations A.M. Weinberg surveys Wigner's contributions to nuclear-reaction physics and nuclear engineering, at the same time giving a glimpse of the early history of nuclear-reactor technology. Wigner himself gave a lively and critical account, which is published in this volume for the first time. Furthermore the book contains forty-two reports and memoranda from 1941 to 1945 and twelve of Wigner's many patents relating to nuclear energy.

Philosophical Reflections and Syntheses

By: Eugene Paul Wigner

Among the founding fathers of modern quantum physics few have contributed to our basic understanding of its concepts as much as E.P. Wigner. His articles on the epistemology of quantum mechanics and the measurement problem, and the basic role of symmetries were of fundamental importance for all subsequent work. He was also the first to discuss the concept of consciousness from the point of view of modern physics. G.G. Emch edited most of those papers and wrote a very helpful introduction into Wigner's contributions to Natural Philosophy. The book should be a gem for all those interested in the history and philosophy of science.

Part I: Particles and Fields. Part II: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

By: Arthur S. Wightman

The first part of this third volume of Wigner's Collected Works is devoted to his analysis of symmetries in quantum mechanics, of the relativistic wave equations, of relativistic particle theory, and of field theory. It is introduced by the masterly annotation of Arthur S. Wightman. Abner Shimony annotates the second part where the reader will find Wigner's contributions to the foundations of quantum physics and to the problems of measurement.

Eugene Wigner was undoubtedly one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. He covered the whole range from nuclear engineering (Volume 5 of his Collected Works) right down to basic theoretical work. This volume collects his articles devoted to the latter. It has been edited by Arthur Wightman and Herman Feshbach who also wrote the annotation to Wigner's milestone accomplishments in this field of modern physics.
