"An 'invaluable contribution to the history of twentieth-century mathematics'. This book is as well; it is filled with interesting articles and photographs. ... in one volume, we have autobiographies, expository essays, photos, and detailed bibliographies. This book is a treasure trove of interesting history and first-rate mathematics." (Mark Hunacek, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 100 (547), 2016) "This book contains accounts of the work of the prize winners ... from the period. ... The essays are excellently done. ... There are many photographs and a lot of good mathematics. ... With the addition of high quality mathematical exposition concerning the work of some of the most important mathematical figures of the past half-century, the book becomes irresistible, a delightful addition to my library." (Fernando Q. Gouvea, MAA Reviews, March, 2014)
