Opis

In physics research, many activities occur backstage, in the wings of physics. This text focuses on two such activities: the editing of physics journals and the operation of physical societies. The author was editor of "Physics Letters B" for particle physics and then of "Physics Reports" for a total of 18 years, as well as being president of the French Physical Society and later of the European Physical Society. This book puts together papers he has written at various times in his career. Each introduced by a foreword, these papers can be read separately.
