Niels Bohr: A Very Short Introduction
View through CrossRef
Niels Bohr: A Very Short Introduction covers the life and work of the pioneer of the quantum theory of the atom who ranks with Einstein in importance for the development of modern physics. In addition to his role as a scientist, Bohr was a statesman and Danish cultural icon, who built scientific institutions and pushed for the extension of international cooperation to all nation states. He also had deep interests in philosophy, literature, and humanism. This VSI considers how all of these aspects of Bohr’s personality influenced his ground-breaking work.
