路易斯·W阿尔瓦雷斯有一个惊人的多样化和重要的职业生涯的发现，冒险和发明。阿尔瓦雷斯因在亚原子粒子方面的研究而赢家1968年诺贝尔物理学奖，他作为科学观察员参加了广岛轰炸使命，提出了恐龙灭绝的小行星理论，发现了氚的放射性，为吉萨的第二金字塔拍摄了X射线，设计了伯克利质子线性加速器，首次观察到基本粒子共振，创造了可变焦距薄透镜，分析了肯尼迪遇刺的电影，发明了用于飞机着陆的地面控制进场雷达系统，仅举几例他的经验和成就。《发现阿尔瓦雷斯》收集了这位创新物理学家的文章，记录了他的杰出贡献。这些文章跨越了他的职业生涯，并附有与阿尔瓦雷斯密切合作的同事和学生对每个项目或发现的评论。
Luis W. Alvarez has had a breathtakingly varied and important career of discovery, adventure, and invention. The winner of the 1968 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on subatomic particles, Alvarez participated as a scientific observer of the Hiroshima bombing mission, formulated the asteroid theory of dinosaur extinctions, discovered the radioactivity of tritium, took x-rays of the Second Pyramid at Giza, designed the Berkeley proton linear accelerator, first observed fundamental particle resonances, created the variable-focus thin lens, analyzed the Kennedy assassination film, and invented the Ground Control Approach radar system for airplane landings, to name but a few of his experiences and accomplishments. "Discovering Alvarez" collects articles by this innovative physicist, documenting his outstanding contributions. The articles, which span his career, are accompanied by a remarkable collection of commentary by the colleagues and students who worked closely with Alvarez on each project or discovery.
