This seminal autobiography in the science and intellectual history genre presents the formative journey of Hideki Yukawa, Japan’s first Nobel laureate in physics. Yukawa chronicles his early life, academic influences, and the philosophical convictions that shaped his groundbreaking meson theory of nuclear forces. He details pivotal relationships with mentors like Yoshio Nishina and collaborators such as Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, Sakata, and Taketani, illustrating the vibrant scientific community of pre-war Japan. The narrative culminates in the publication of his first English-language paper, marking a turning point in theoretical physics. Supplemented by the original meson theory manuscript and an introduction by physicist Laurie M. Brown, the book instructs readers in both the personal and professional evolution of a visionary thinker.
