This book is a labor of love for Dr Wu Weimin whose favorite photography subjects are ordinary events which capture the heart of the common folks. The cameras Dr Wu uses may not be the most sophisticated but the images he has taken are truly striking. His award-winning collections of photographs are very well received worldwide.The introduction written by Dr Rick Vidal of Fermilab was endorsed by Dr Leon Lederman, Nobel Laureate in Physics (1988).Being a physicist by training, Dr Wu was among the pioneer scientists who helped to develop China's first atomic bomb and to launch its first satellite. He also participated in building the first Chinese electron-positron collider. Another extraordinary feat is that he sent out the very first e-mail from China on 25 August 1986.

Recensioner i media

"Feynman diagram uses lines, arrows, loops and boxes to express extremely complex physics processes. Weimin's photos are a successful attempt to combine the art of imagery and physics." -- Saulan Wu "He always had an eye for beauty, whether in nature or in the artworks of man." -- Michel Davier "His lambent photography is informed by a refined sense of aesthetics deeply grounded within his cultural framework." -- Dan Green "I am in complete agreement with Dr Vidal's statement." -- Leon Lederman "I hope readers will discover how beautiful physics is, and a physicist can at the same time be also an artist." -- Minghan Ye "In today's world of specializations, it is a joy to celebrate the work of a real Renaissance man." -- Sally Alderson "The context of his photographs may be the natural world he loves, but his expression is singularly artistic and creative." -- Richard A. Vidal "The photographs of Weimin Wu should forever put to rest the idea that scientific ability and artistic aesthetics are mutually exclusive." -- Rocky Kolb "These wonderful photos show the beauty and harmony of Nature and Physics." -- Hesheng Chen "This collection is about his search, for physics, for beauty, for beauty in physics, and also a voyage through memories." -- Nicola Cabibbo "Those wondrous and spectacular images are sure to entice the curious minds." -- Guangsheng Zhang "We eyewitness a clear example that success needs both artistic enthusiasm and scientific persistence, i.e., passion plus patience." -- N Guangjiong
