I would suggest such a strategy to a philosopher or historian of science, or an undergraduate or graduate student in physics. The chapters are all well written, and whatever fraction is understood will prove valuable. The book is long, and not an easy read, but well worth the effort and I highly recommend it.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCERN Courier\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Kenneth Wilson was a brilliant and creative contributor to the work on renormalization groups and phase transitions.
