Nice

A professor of mine recommended this book to me, This book reflects the views of Dr. Victor F. Weisskopf or Dr. Viki he likes to be called. The book is orgrazined in views of science, culture, education and his experience with the two great scientist. I especially, like his experience working with Pauli. Viki does a good job of stating his views about our society and about people/nations. The Privilege of being a physicist is a nice and interesting read and is definitely worth a look.
