Physicists of Ireland

This book is a collection of essays on leading figures from the history of physics in Ireland. It includes physicists born outside Ireland who carried out significant work in Ireland, and also those whose work was carried out mainly outside Ireland provided they had strong Irish roots. The book is well illustrated with diagrams and photos of historical interest and rounded off with useful suggestions for further reading. Taken as a whole Physicists of Ireland demonstrates the strength of the tradition in Ireland. It might come as a surprise to many that several leading 'English' physicists are actually from Ireland.
