| Publisher Description: "The book can be read by a general audience with a keen interest in science, especially to learn about the prominent role played by the physicist to whom the book is dedicated in the development of physics in China in the years after the 1949 Chinese revolution. It can be of interest to those physicists interested in statistical physics, non-linear chemical dynamics and history of physics. In any case, I believe it can be a very informative and enjoyable read for scientists with interdisciplinary interests." Contemporary Physics
"Professor Hao Bailin is one of China's most talented and most versatile theoretical physicists. He has made important contributions to a wide variety of research fields, including biology in which he pioneered a multidimensional method for studying the evolutionary pathways of bacteria. Indeed he calls himself, appreciatively I believe, a guerrilla fighter." Chen-Ning Yang, Nobel Laureate |
