Panofsky on Physics, Politics, and Peace

Pief Remembers

By: Wolfgang K.H. Panofsky

This book is not only an autobiography of the respected physicist and director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, but a discussion and analysis of issues critical to the relationship between independent academic inquiry and imposed government orthodoxy. The book describes each phase of Dr. Panofsky's career in a way that clarifies the nature of the issues surrounding his work, and explains his chosen course of action.

Particles and Policy

By: Wolfgang K.H. Panofsky

This wide-ranging collection of essays presents the best of Panofsky's most accessible writings. It covers his early collaboration with Luis Alvarez and his later work as researcher and director at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Through several essays--some reflecting his lifelong concern with nuclear weapons and arms control--Panofsky also reveals the often intractable differences that exist between the drives of theoretical science and the constraints of public policy.

Particles and Policy

By: Wolfgang Kurt Hermann Panofsky

Particles and Policy then turns to consider the conflicts between the drives of theoretical science and the constraints of public policy. What are the technical - and social - limits impinging upon the development of electron colliders and other large science projects? Should scientific endeavors be pursued regardless of social costs? Panofsky tackles these questions in several illuminating chapters based upon his long personal experience with linear accelerator projects." "Several essays address Panofsky's lifelong concern with nuclear weapons and arms control. An insider in the government circles that guided policy, Panofsky reveals the way that perceptions, rather than technical realities, drive the arms race; dissects the philosophical underpinnings of nuclear buildup; and shatters the myth that nuclear weapons can be effective in a tactical sense." "In a concluding chapter, "Science Advice to the President," Panofsky looks back on his challenging - and often contentious - years as a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee and delivers suggestions for making such service more effective in the future." "From his early participation in the Trinity Project to his 25-year stewardship of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Wolfgang Panofsky has pursued a rare path of discovery and engagement. Particles and Policy is a bracing anthology of the contributions, challenges, concerns, and successes of this scientist and citizen."--BOOK JACKET.
