The Pursuit of Quantum Gravity: Memoirs of Bryce DeWitt from 1946 to 2004 2011th Edition by Cécile DeWitt-Morette (PDF)

Description

1946 is the year Bryce DeWitt entered Harvard graduate school. Quantum Gravity was his goal and remained his goal throughout his lifetime until the very end. The pursuit of Quantum Gravity requires a profound understanding of Quantum Physics and Gravitation Physics. As G. A. Vilkovisky commented , “Quantum Gravity is a combination of two words, and one should know both. Bryce understood this as nobody else, and this wisdom is completely unknown to many authors of the flux of papers that we see nowadays.” Distingished physicist Cecile DeWitt-Morette skillfully blends her personal and scientific account with a wealth of her late husband’s often unpublished writings on the subject matter. This volume, through the perspective of the leading researcher on quantum gravity of his generation, will provide an invaluable source of reference for anyone working in the field.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book just arrived. I have no comment on the material because I haven’t read it yet, but I immediately noticed that much of the text, somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the total, is printed in a faint type that I find pretty difficult to read.At first I thought this was a printing error, but then I see it stated on p. viii that all quotes from DeWitt himself are “printed in blue”, and indeed they appear that way if you use the ‘look inside’ function on the Amazon website. But the actual print in the copy I received is monochrome, and the “blue” appears simply as a washed-out grey instead of normal black.In the attached photo, the first two paragraphs and the footnote on the right-hand page are the normal black type, and everything else is the “blue” type (actually grey or fainter black). I wish they had kept to the standard convention that long quotations are printed in smaller type but with ordinary dark black ink, which I have never found as hard to read as this.
