Tom Kibble – recently knighted – is an inspirational theoretical physicist who has made profound contributions to the understanding of the physical world. This book is a compilation of papers based on the presentations given at a symposium held in March 2013 at the Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London, to celebrate his 80th birthday. The symposium profiled various aspects of his long scientific career, with talks from Neil Turok, Wojciech Zurek and Jim Virdee, and in the evening, Steven Weinberg and Frank Close.
