Maurice Jacob, former head of the Theory Division at CERN and former editor
of Physics Letters B and of Physics Reports, looks behind the scenes of physics,
especially the way journals are (or were) published. Although not intended as
such, In the Wings of Physics (World Scientific, 拢20, ISBN 981 02 2178 9)
stands as a timely historical document describing the quaint old days before the
World Wide Web became the most important 鈥渏ournal鈥� for physicists. It seems as
remote as the age of the typewriter.
