Description

What was Albert Einstein like as a person? How did J. Robert Oppenheimer's religious background impact his scientific endeavors?

Why did John Stewart Bell get into physics in the first place?

Prolific science writer Jeremy Bernstein has followed up on his original Quantum Profiles, published in 1990, with seven added profiles: Wendell Furry, Philipp Frank, J.

Robert Oppenheimer, Victor Weisskopf, Tom Lehrer, Max Jammer, and Robert Serber.

The profiles on John Stewart Bell, John Wheeler, and Albert Einstein from the first edition have been revised and expanded, as well.

Bernstein presents each profile carefully, and the context provided in these historical profiles is revolutionary in each approach.

Bernstein's unique academic and social background allows readers to fully grasp the character profiles in each chapter.

With a conversational writing style, Bernstein lets readers get to know these ten prolific physicists-from personalities to historical and scientific significance-in a whole new way.
