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. 410 0$aSpringer Biographies,$x2365-0613 606 $aPhysics 606 $aHistory 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aCondensed Matter Physics. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a509 676 $a530 676 $a530.01 676 $a530.1 676 $a530.41 700 $aHyland$b G.
