Reviews

The beauty and effectiveness of the book resides precisely here, it is a personal log that follows step by step the thoughts, trials and errors and eventually the success of Chandrasekhar's research. -- Mathematical Reviews "Mathematical Reviews"

The book is useful to those who are going to studying Modern Physics as well as History of Modern Physics. -- Zentralblatt MATH "Zentralblatt MATH"
