World Scientific’s series on 20th century physics includes scientific anthologies about many famous figures and/or edited by many authoritative names. Volume 22 continues this tradition and includes a collection of key papers (without commentary) on SU(6) symmetry, the strong coupling group, the string model, supersymmetry and the use of collective variables in quantum field theory. Especially interesting is the autobiographical introduction by a scientist born and educated in Japan but who has spent almost his entire professional career outside that country.
