Schrodinger: Life and Thought

Schrodinger: Life and Thought
- Used Book in Good Condition
In the first comprehensive biography of Erwin SchrÃ¶dinger--a brilliant and charming Austrian, a great scientist, and a man with a passionate interest in people and ideas--the author draws upon recollections of SchrÃ¶dinger's friends, family and colleagues, and on contemporary records, letters and diaries. SchrÃ¶dinger led a very intense life, both in his research and in the personal realm. This book portrays his life against the backdrop of Europe at a time of change and unrest. His best known scientific work was the discovery of wave mechanics, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933. In Dublin, he wrote his most famous and influential book What is Life?, which attracted some of the brightest minds of his generation into molecular biology. This highly readable biography of a fascinating and complex man will appeal to anyone interested in the history of our times, and in the life and thought of one of the great men of twentieth-century science.
