For more than half a century, Fröhlich was an internationally renowned and much respected figure who exerted a decisive influence, often as a ‘man ahead of his time’, in fields as diverse as meson theory and biology. Although best known for his contributions to the theory of dielectrics and superconductivity, he worked in many other fields, his most important legacy being the pioneering introduction quantum field-theoretical methods into condensed matter physics in 1952, which revolutionised the subsequent development of the subject. Gerard Hyland has written an absorbing and informative account, in which Herbert Fröhlich’s magnetic personality shines through.Springer Biographies,2365-0613PhysicsHistoryCondensed matterMathematical physicsHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Condensed Matter Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005Physics.History.Condensed matter.Mathematical physics.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.History of Science.Condensed Matter Physics.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.509530530.01530.1530.41Hyland G.
