To celebrate his 80th birthday a one-day symposium was held on March 13, 2013 at the Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College, London. This important volume is a compilation of papers based on the presentations that were given at the symposium. The symposium profiled various aspects of Tom's long scientific career. The tenor of the meeting was set in the first talk given by Neil Turok, director of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, who described Tom as 606 $aSymmetry (Physics) 606 $aPhysics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSymmetry (Physics) 615 0$aPhysics. 676 $a530 676 $a539.7 676 $a539.7/258 701 $aGauntlett$b Jerome$0918284 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453564203321 996 $aSymmetry and fundamental physics$92058936 997 $aUNINA
