A Life of Erwin Schroedinger
Walter J Moore
Erwin Schroedinger was a brilliant and charming Austrian, one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century, and a man with a passionate interest in people and ideas. He was best known for the discovery of wave mechanics, which won him the Nobel Prize for Physics, but his most influential book What Is Life? served to attract some of his brightest scientific contemporaries into molecular biology.
This abridgement of Walter Moore’s magisterial Schrödinger: Life and Thought offers a highly readable account, interweaving Schrödinger’s scientific work with his intense personal friendships, his interest in mysticism, and the turbulent background of political events in Europe. Hailed as a “breathtaking accomplishment,” Walter Moore’s colorful account is destined to become a classic of scientific biography.
A fascinating account of the extraordinary life of an extraordinary man. Worth reading at this attractive price
