Polini M., Vignale G., Pellegrini V., Jain J.K. (Eds.) No-nonsense Physicist: An Overview of Gabriele Giuliani's Work and Life

Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italia, 2016. – 226 p. – ISBN10: 8876425357This book presents a compact personal biography and a collection of works by Gabriele F. Giuliani - a distinguished condensed matter theorist who made important contributions to our understanding of collective effects in electronic materials. In 2012 he passed away after a long battle with cancer. In addition, the book features scientific contributions from some of Prof. Giuliani's former students and collaborators and a number of personal recollections by friends and colleagues which shed light on the complex, multifaceted personality of a physicist who was also a passionate soccer player and formula Ford pilot.Personal recollections
