A Life of Erwin Schrödinger (Canto original series)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'The best book available today on the life and work of Schrödinger.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'It is an attempt to analyze a soul, and in that respect it surpasses even The Double Helix by James Watson in its examination of the most visceral drives of a great scientist.' The New York Times Book Review
'A bestseller among scientific biographies.' Science
Book Description
Erwin Schrödinger was a brilliant and charming Austrian, and one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century. 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.
