“He’s changed my life.” “It’s the end of an era.” “The spirit of the
inspirer lives on.” No, not blind praise for a guru, but heartfelt tributes to
physicist Nevill Mott, who died two years ago this summer. The list of
contributors to Nevill Mott: Reminiscences and Appreciations reads like an
international Who’s Who of science, leaving you in no doubt of his staggeringly
broad contributions to physics. Nice to see the great man’s humour poking
through too. Published by Taylor and Francis, £25, ISBN 0748407901.
