This book focuses on a comprehensive overview of the history of the development of one specific scientific discipline: physics in Cuba. It traces the evolution of an advanced research system in a developing country and shows a striking capacity to link the development of modern research with the concrete needs of the country and its population. A little known aspect is the active participation of several western physicists and technicians during the 1960s, the role of summer schools, organized by French, Italian and other western physicists, as well as the active collaboration with...
