very good book covering important aspects of Yang's life and scientific achievements.
really amazed to see how physicists do things in a volume dedicated to a colleague's birthday.
appreciate more and more of Yang's accomplishments - his wisdom, his knowledge, his efforts to promote science in China and his attitudes towards truth and beauty.
after reading this book, I plan to read more about Yang - his books and journal papers.
ps. it's far beyond one-day challenge's time limit but I don't care since I got to read such a brilliant book!
