Abu Dhabi, Oct. 25, (WAM) -- The "Kalimah" translation project of the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) issued the translation of the book titled "The Scientist as a Rebel", one of the most important books written by the American physicist and mathematician, Freeman Dyson.

The book includes a number of articles published, mostly in the magazine "New York Book Review," which deals with issues related to science and technology through the relationship of science to religion and the problems of war and peace, the history of science, as well as personal and philosophical reflections.

Freeman made it clear in the introduction to his book that he devoted three chapters to his teacher, the Physicist Richard Feynman, who has a rebellious spirit, and who met the qualities of devotion to science alongside the spirit of humor and love of adventure.

The translation of the book falls within the strategy of ADACH to provide each other's culture in the context of diversity and difference, while the project aims to open new channels for the Arab reader and the revival of the movement of translation of foreign languages in the Arab culture.

The book was translated into Arabic by Dr Mohamed Ali Ahmed, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Plant Pathology at the Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Cairo. He won the Sheikh Zayed Book Award, Children Literature, at its first session in 2007 for the series of "Journey on the Paper" issued by the Library of the Arab Book House in Egypt.

It should be mentioned that Freeman Dyson is a British-born American theoretical physicist and mathematician, famous for his work in quantum field theory, solid-state physics, and nuclear engineering. He has won numerous scientific awards. Some of his most important books are "Disturbing the Universe" 1979, "Weapons and Hope", 1984, "Infinite in All Directions", 1988, and "The Sun, The Genome and The Internet", 1999.
