Princeton Companion to Physics
Updated: Sep 17
Princeton University Press is honored and excited to announce that Frank Wilczek will be Volume Editor of the forthcoming Princeton Companion to Physics. This will be a big book suited both for pleasurable browsing and for serious reference. You can read the vision here and the official description here.
The Princeton Companion to Physics will be a one-volume (~1200 pp.) major reference work, composed of approximately 250 carefully curated, thematically organized articles on the essential ideas and subfields of research comprising the discipline of physics. After an Introduction, a Reader’s Guide, and an essay on Order of Magnitude Thinking/Estimation, seven sections – on Concepts, Milestone Observations and Experiments, Unifications, Great Equations, The State of the Art, The Human Side, and At the Frontier – will follow.
Ingrid Gnerlich, Science Group Publisher and the commissioning editor of the work, comments: “A unique feature of this type of Companion volume is the very special intellectual vision of the Volume Editor, in terms of how the scope, philosophy, and level of the content are articulated and executed. We feel that Prof. Wilczek will offer this project a rare depth and breadth of insight and perspective, combined with a sensitivity for graceful and accessible language, which will make this book a ‘must have’ for a wide readership of physics students, professional physicists and other scientists, and even an array of sophisticated general readers. We anticipate this book to be an example of the very best type of Princeton publication— a superb volume that guides, inspires, and enlightens.”
