Climbing the Mountain: The Scientific Biography of Julian Schwinger
`Review from previous edition ... a through and comprehensive account of Schwinger's life and work... a valuable testament to the life and legacy of Julian Schwinger' Lowell Brown, Physics World`... the first full-length biography of Julian Schwinger ... scholarly and well done. The influence of Julian Schwinger on the physics of his time has been profound. ' Robert Finkelstein, CERN Courier`Mehra and Milton provide a great deal of material from interviews and archival files and thus help give us a fuller picture of Schwinger. Perhaps their most important contribution is their account of the evolution of many of Schwinger's thoughts. [...] It does shed light on a many-faceted genius.' Tian Yu Cao, Physics Today
