With a New AfterwordOur knowledge of fundamental physics contains not one fruitful idea that does not carry the name of Murray GellMann.Richard FeynmanAcclaimed science writer George Johnson brings his formidable reporting skills to the first biography of Nobel Prizewinner Murray GellMann, the brilliant, irascible man who revolutionized modern particle physics with his models of the quark and the Eightfold Way.Born into a Jewish immigrant family on New Yorks East 14th Street, GellManns prodigious talent was evident from an early agehe entered Yale at 15, completed his Ph.D. at 21, and was soon identifying the structures of the worlds smallest components and illuminating the elegant symmetries of the universe.Beautifully balanced in its portrayal of an extraordinary and difficult man, interpreting the concepts of advanced physics with scrupulous clarity and simplicity, Strange Beauty is a tourdeforce of both science writing and biography.
