"Professor Salam's book is a fascinating document of the fears and hopes, the likes and dislikes, the deep commitments and aspirations of a man who has struggled hard to live a creative life, against great odds, and has succeeded in doing so in two different but related spheres of human achievement. Quite apart from its purely intellectual content, the book should be a source of pleasure and inspiration to all of us."
