商品描述

This open access book is both a memoir and a biography. Born in Czechoslovakia in 1924, Herwig Schopper is one of the few people able to bear witness to 100 years of European history. His career has taken him from research to management to diplomacy, with a major part devoted to, and inspired by, CERN.


Herwig enjoyed a rich childhood, spending his summers at his grandparent's hotel on the Adriatic coast. It is there that he developed an interest in physics though eavesdropping on holidaying professors from Budapest and Belgrade who conversed in German. His youthful idyll was shattered by the annexation of the Sudetenland, which lead to him serving in the Luftwaffe signals corps. Working as a translator for the British administration in Hamburg after the war, he also enrolled at the University and was soon granted leave to travel outside Germany for his research. So began a long string of professional relationships with leading scientists of the day: Lise Meitner, Otto Frisch, Bob Wilson, Chien Shiung Wu, Masatoshi Koshiba and Sam Ting to name but a few. Herwig came to consider them all as friends.


Through his long career, Herwig has played a leading role in institutions from Erlangen to Karlsruhe, and from DESY, where he was director from 1973 to 1980, to CERN, where he served as Director-General from 1981 to 1988. Since its foundation CERN has had two major missions: to conduct first-class scientific research and to foster peaceful relations between nations. Following this example Herwig has played a key role in pioneering the deployment of science for peace, notably through the SESAME laboratory in the Middle East. This book gives a full account of Herwig's rich and varied life and concludes with his reflections on the challenges that society faces today.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本開放存取的書籍同時是回憶錄和傳記。赫維·肖普（Herwig Schopper）於1924年出生在捷克斯洛伐克，是少數能見證100年歐洲歷史的人之一。他的職業生涯涵蓋了研究、管理和外交，並且大部分時間都致力於並受到CERN的啟發。

赫維享有豐富的童年，夏天常常在祖父母位於亞得里亞海岸的酒店度過。在那裡，他透過偷聽來自布達佩斯和貝爾格萊德的度假教授們用德語交談，培養了對物理學的興趣。他的青春夢想因蘇台德地區的併吞而破碎，隨後他在德國空軍的信號兵部隊服役。戰後，他在漢堡的英國行政機構擔任翻譯，同時也入學大學，並很快獲准前往德國以外的地區進行研究。這樣開始了他與當時領先科學家們的長期專業關係：莉絲·邁特納（Lise Meitner）、奧托·弗里希（Otto Frisch）、鮑勃·威爾遜（Bob Wilson）、吳健雄（Chien Shiung Wu）、小柴昌俊（Masatoshi Koshiba）和丁肇中（Sam Ting）等人，赫維將他們都視為朋友。

在他漫長的職業生涯中，赫維在從埃爾朗根到卡爾斯魯厄的機構中扮演了重要角色，並且在1973年至1980年間擔任DESY的主任，1981年至1988年擔任CERN的總幹事。自成立以來，CERN有兩個主要任務：進行一流的科學研究和促進國家之間的和平關係。遵循這一範例，赫維在推動科學為和平服務方面發揮了關鍵作用，特別是通過中東的SESAME實驗室。本書詳細記錄了赫維豐富多彩的生活，並以他對當今社會面臨挑戰的反思作結。

作者簡介

Herwig Franz Schopper received a doctorate from the University of Hamburg before holding positions at Erlangen, Mainz and Karlsruhe before moving to CERN in 1970 as leader of the Nuclear Physics Division. In 1973, he returned to Hamburg, where he chaired the DESY directorate until becoming Director General of CERN in 1981, overseeing major organisational changes at the Laboratory, as well as the construction of a new flagship research facility, the Large Electron Positron collider, LEP. Following his retirement in 1989, Professor Schopper embarked on a second career as a science diplomat, working largely with UNESCO. During this time, he served at the first President of the SESAME Council.

James Gillies began his career as a research physicist at CERN before moving into science communication. He holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford. Leaving research in 1992 to take up the position of Head of Science at the British Council in Paris, he returned to CERN as a science writer in 1995, going on to head the Laboratory's communicaitons group from 2003 to 2015.


作者簡介(中文翻譯)

赫維格·弗朗茲·肖珀在漢堡大學獲得博士學位，隨後在埃爾朗根、邁恩茨和卡爾斯魯厄擔任職位，並於1970年轉至CERN擔任核物理部門的負責人。1973年，他回到漢堡，擔任DESY董事會主席，直到1981年成為CERN的總幹事，負責實驗室的重大組織變革，以及新旗艦研究設施——大型電子正電子對撞機（LEP）的建設。1989年退休後，肖珀教授開始了他的第二職業生涯，成為科學外交官，主要與聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）合作。在此期間，他擔任了SESAME理事會的首任主席。

詹姆斯·吉爾開始他的職業生涯於CERN擔任研究物理學家，之後轉向科學傳播。他擁有牛津大學的博士學位。1992年離開研究，擔任英國文化協會在巴黎的科學部門負責人，並於1995年回到CERN擔任科學作家，隨後於2003年至2015年期間負責實驗室的傳播組。
