The end of the Second World War opened a new era for science in public life. Heisenberg in the Atomic Age explores the transformations of science s public presence in the postwar Federal Republic of Germany. It shows how Heisenberg s philosophical commentaries, circulating in the mass media, secured his role as science s public philosopher, and it reflects on his policy engagements and public political stands, which helped redefine the relationship between science and the state. With deep archival grounding, the book tracks Heisenberg s interactions with intellectuals from Heidegger to...

This volume reprints Paul Forman's classic papers on the history of physics in post-World War I Germany and the invention of quantum mechanics.

At the 2007 international conference in Vancouver, Canada, leading historians of physics discussed the implications of the Forman thesis...

It provides an arena for discussions to find and create a renewed platform for engineering practices, and thus nuclear engineering education, which are essential in the post-Fukushima era for nurturing nuclear engineers who need to be both technically competent and trusted in society.
