With Russian officials and political leaders explicitly threatening the use of tactical nuclear weapons in their war with Ukraine, it is worth re-examining the lessons learned about tactical nuclear weapons during the Cold War. This illuminating report on the proposed use of tactical nuclear weapons in Southeast Asia was written in 1967 by a four-man team from the JASON scientific advisory committee, including Freeman J. Dyson. This groundbrea...

Infinite in All Directions is a popularized science at its best. In Dyson's view, science and religion are two windows through which we can look out at the world around us. The book is a revised version of a series of the Gifford Lectures under the title "In Praise of Diversity" given at Aberdeen, Scotland. They allowed Dyson the license to express everything in the universe, which he divided into two parts in polished prose: focusing on the d...

Renowned physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson is famous for his work in quantum mechanics, nuclear weapons policy and bold visions for the future of humanity. In the 1940s, he was responsible for demonstrating the equivalence of the two formulations of quantum electrodynamics ¿ Richard Feynman's diagrammatic path integral formulation and the variational methods developed by Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonoga ¿ showing the mathematica...

This book is a sequel to the volume of selected papers of Dyson up to 1990 that was published by the American Mathematical Society in 1996. The present edition comprises a collection of the most interesting writings of Freeman Dyson, all personally selected by the author, from the period 1990-2014.The five sections start off with an Introduction, followed by Talks about Science, Memoirs, Politics and History, and some Technical Papers. The mos...

An illuminating collection of essays by an award-winning scientist whom the London Times calls "one of the world's most original minds.”From Galileo to today's amateur astronomers, scientists have been rebels, writes Freeman Dyson. Like artists and poets, they are free spirits who resist the restrictions their cultures impose on them. In their pursuit of Nature's truths, they are guided as much by imagination as by reason, and their greatest t...

Second edition of Freeman Dyson's fascinating examination of the origins of life on earth.

Focuses on the myriad ways in which the universe presents itself to us - and how, as observers and participants in its processes, we respond to it. Taken from the author's public lectures, this book begins with a consideration of the practical and political questions surrounding biotechnology.
