Featuring essays by current and former faculty and members along with photographs by Serge J-F. Levy, the book captures the spirit of curiosity, freedom, and comradeship that is a hallmark of this unique community of scholars. Founded in 1930 in Princeton, New Jersey, the institute encourages and supports fundamental research in the sciences and humanities--the original, often speculative thinking that can transform how we understand our world. Albert Einstein was among the first in a long line of brilliant thinkers to be affiliated with the institute. They include Kurt Gödel, George Kennan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Erwin Panofsky, Homer A. Thompson, John von Neumann, and Hermann Weyl. This volume offers an intimate portrait in words and images of a storied institution that might best be described as a true academic village. The personal reflections collected here--written by leading figures from across the disciplines--bring this exceptional academic institution and its history vibrantly to life. The contributors to this anthology are Michael Atiyah, Chantal David, Freeman Dyson, Jane F. Fulcher, Peter Goddard, Barbara Kowalzig, Wolf Lepenies, Paul Moravec, Joan Wallach Scott, and David H. Weinberg. 606 $aEducation$vEssays 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aEducation 606 $aSocial sciences$vEssays 606 $aSocial sciences$vReference 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zUnited States 606 $aEDUCATION / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aEducation. 615 0$aSocial sciences 615 0$aSocial sciences 615 0$aUniversities and colleges 615 7$aEDUCATION / General. 676 $a001.40974967 700 $aInstitute For Advanced Study$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01033958 701 $aLevy$b Serge J-F$01033959 712 02$aInstitute for Advanced Study (Princeton, N.J.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457895903321 996 $aA community of scholars$92452787 997 $aUNINA
