He published his own lecture notes as "From X-rays to Quarks: Modern Physicists and Their Discoveries" (1980) and "From Falling Bodies to Radio Waves: Classical Physicists and Their Discoveries" (1984). He also edited the "Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science" from 1958 to 1977 and wrote an autobiography, "A Mind Always in Motion" (1993), which was published posthumously.
