No Time to Be Brief: A Scientific Biography of Wolfgang Pauli
ISBN: 9780199588152 / Angielski / Miękka / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book retraces the life of the physicist Wolfgang Pauli, analyses his scientific work, and describes the evolution of his thinking. Pauli spent 30 years as a professor at the Federal Institute of Technology ETH in Zurich, which occupies a central place in this biography. It would be incomplete, however, without a rendering of Pauli's sarcastic wit and, most importantly, of the world of his dreams. It is through the latter that quite a different aspect of Pauli's life comes in, namely his association with the psychology of C.G. Jung and his school.

There has always been a mystery surrounding Darwin: How did this quiet, respectable gentleman come to beget one of the most radical ideas in the history of human thought? It is difficult to overstate what Darwin was risking in publishing his theory of evolution. So it must have been something very powerful--a moral fire, as Desmond and Moore put it--that helped propel him. That moral fire, they argue, was a passionate hatred of slavery. In opposition to the apologists for slavery who argued that blacks and whites had originated as separate species, Darwin believed the races belonged...

William and Lawrence Bragg, Father and Son: The Most Extraordinary Collaboration in Science
ISBN: 9780199606702 / Angielski / Miękka / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
