Phil Anderson biography is now available

The biography, A Mind Over Matter: Philip Anderson and the Physics of the Very Many by
Andrew Zangwill is now out. I just ordered my copy.


I am looking forward to reading it and will eventually post a review. I look forward to hearing comments from others. 

Update. I received my copy and have already read two-thirds of it. Loving it!

    Congrats to my Georgia Tech colleague Andrew Zangwill on this new book.
