  • Summary

    In the summer of 1991, Weinberg receives the National Medal of Science from President George H. W. Bush. He describes various visits and internationl trips. Through the early 1990s at the University of Texas at Austin, he taught a course on the quantum theory of fields, which was published as a two-volume treatise on “The Quantum Theory of Fields.” (A third volume on supersymmetry would follow in 2000.) Around this time, he begins publishing popular science in The New York Review of Books. He gives the dedicatory address at the opening of the university’s Hobby–Eberly Telescope.
