Commemorating the past and looking towards the future: OCPA 2000 : proceedings of the Third Joint Meeting of Chinese Physicists Worldwide, 31 July-4 August, 2000, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, HK

This book is not just a conference proceedings covering the full spectrum of physics disciplines.

It is also a historic retrospective on the past generation of giants in Chinese physics.

It covers the historical tributes by Nobel Laureates Lee and Yang and others to the life and works of Professors Ta-You Wu, Chien-Shiung Wu and Xie Xi-de.
