About this work
Description
Selection of biographies and obituaries about Pontecorvo which were collected by his daughter, Lisa Pontecorvo, after his death. As they provide good background information about Pontecorvo's life and scientific achievements and they seem to be a fairly complete set from newspapers, journals and university publications, a decision was made to keep them with the rest of the collection.
