Broken Symmetry: Selected Papers of Y. Nambu (World Scientific Series in 20th Century Physics)
The book benefits from the inclusion of previously unpublished material, informal lectures and conference-summary talks that are not widely available. These, together with the selected research papers, provide an excellent scientific biography of Nambu and of the Japanese physics tradition, which he describes in several places ... it is in the less formal presentations that the motivation for Nambu's ideas, as well as his charming modesty, become evident and make reading this collection the pleasure that it is. --Physics Today
