Abstract
Professor Philip W Anderson's contributions to theoretical solid state physics have been so varied that one's first reaction on hearing of the Nobel prize was to wonder which piece of work it had been awarded for: Anderson localisation in disordered materials, the Anderson model for magnetic impurities, the theory of superexchange interaction, seminal ideas in various fields. It is not surprising that in 1967 Cambridge decided (in spite of thin-end-of-wedge arguments about residential university and several changes of statutes) that it wanted Anderson as a professor on a half-time basis shared with Bell Telephone Laboratories
