"Claudio Bunster founded the Centro de Estudios Cientificos (CECS), a world class
institute for frontier science research in Chile. His mentor, John A. Wheeler often
used Teddy Roosevelt's advice, "Do what you can, where you are, with what you have."
"I followed his advice," said Bunster. "At latitude 40[degree]S there is a science
institute where one can find the footprints of Wheeler in every corner." "As a true
pioneer, Bunster was ahead of his time, opening roads, pushing the frontiers, under
extreme conditions, in unexplored environments. Throughout his career, black holes,
monopoles, the Antarctic vastness and the entire universe, have been the objects of
his fascination: extreme, simple objects where beauty is best captured and displayed."
"On 10 and 11 January 2008, the meeting Quantum Mechanics of Fundamental Systems:
The Quest for Beauty and Simplicity - Claudio's Fest took place in Valdivia to celebrate
Claudio Bunster's 60th birthday. This volume collects the contributions that were
discussed at this meeting by many of Bunster's colleagues and longtime collaborators.
Articles by L. Brink, S. Carlip, F. Englert, S. Hawking, M. Henneaux, C.W. Misner
and L. Susskind, among others, highlight the broad impact of Bunster, providing unique
insightful views on many topics addressed by him in his scientific career, ranging
from black holes and symmetries in gravity and supergravity, to cosmology." "The meeting
was co-organized by the CECS and the International Solvay Institutes."--Jacket
