Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. Max Born MY LIFE & MY VIEWS 1st Edition 1st Printing 1968. published by Scribner's; HCDJ hardcover with dustjacket VG condition The reader of this book is introduced by Max Born to his own scientific work and extraordinary achievement. Born is one of the founders of quantum mechanics, a major intellectual accomplishment of the twentieth century, comparable to such other feats in scientific thought as the Newtonian philosophy and the Darwinian revolution. For his contributions to quantum mechanics, Born was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics. One learns that Born did not become involved in nuclear fusion and its applications to the atomic bomb. This enables him to consider the ethical and political questions connected with the bomb from an objective viewpoint. It is to these questions that most of the essays in the volume are addressed. Born is concerned with two major questions: Can human affairs be regulated without the use of force? Can the current decline of ethics and morality be reversed? More simply stated, Is there hope for man's future? His position ranges from darkest pessimism and despair to optimism and hope. In the moving final essay he exhorts: "But we must hope!" He speaks of hope as "a moving force", for he is convinced: Only if we hope do we act in order to bring fulfillment of the hope nearer." It is Born's dedication as a teacher and his deep insight into the material universe enlightened by philosophical understanding that makes this collection of writings so profound. And it is his social conscience that makes the essays so relevant and so significant BBDJ.

Hardcover. Etat : Very good. [6], 216, [2] pages. Appendix. Index. Ink mark and erasure residue on fep. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Introduction by I. Bernard Cohen. Max Born is one of the founders of quantum mechanics, and the winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics. Most of the essays in this book are addressed to the ethical and political questions connected with the atomic bomb; he did not become involved in nuclear fission and its applications to the atomic bomb, and therefore was able to consider the ethical and political questions connected with the bomb from an objective viewpoint. Ierome Bernard Cohen (1 March 1914 - 20 June 2003) was the Victor S. Thomas Professor of the history of science at Harvard University and the author of many books on the history of science. Cohen was the first American to receive a Ph.D. in history of science, was a Harvard undergraduate ('37) and then a Ph.D. student and protégé of George Sarton who was the founder of Isis and the History of Science Society. Cohen taught at Harvard from 1942 until his death, and his tenure was marked by the development of Harvard's program in the history of science. In 1974 he was awarded the Sarton Medal by the History of Science Society. Max Born (11 December 1882 - 5 January 1970) was a German physicist and mathematician who was instrumental in the development of quantum mechanics. He also made contributions to solid-state physics and optics and supervised the work of a number of notable physicists in the 1920s and 1930s. Born won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "fundamental research in Quantum Mechanics, especially in the statistical interpretation of the wave function". Born in 1882 in Breslau, then in Germany, now in Poland and known as Wroc aw, Born entered the University of Göttingen in 1904, where he found the three renowned mathematicians, Felix Klein, David Hilbert and Hermann Minkowski. He wrote his Ph.D. thesis on the subject of "Stability of Elastica in a Plane and Space", winning the University's Philosophy Faculty Prize. In 1905, he began researching special relativity with Minkowski, and subsequently wrote his habilitation thesis on the Thomson model of the atom. A chance meeting with Fritz Haber in Berlin in 1918 led to discussion of the manner in which an ionic compound is formed when a metal reacts with a halogen, which is today known as the Born-Haber cycle. In the First World War, after originally being placed as a radio operator, he was moved to research duties regarding sound ranging due to his specialist knowledge. In 1921, Born returned to Göttingen, arranging another chair for his long-time friend and colleague James Franck. Under Born, Göttingen became one of the world's foremost centres for physics. In 1925, Born and Werner Heisenberg formulated the matrix mechanics representation of quantum mechanics. The following year, he formulated the now-standard interpretation of the probability density function for * in the Schrödinger equation, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954. His influence extended far beyond his own research. Max Delbrück, Siegfried Flügge, Friedrich Hund, Pascual Jordan, Maria Goeppert-Mayer, Lothar Wolfgang Nordheim, Robert Oppenheimer, and Victor Weisskopf all received their Ph.D. degrees under Born at Göttingen, and his assistants included Enrico Fermi, Werner Heisenberg, Gerhard Herzberg, Friedrich Hund, Pascual Jordan, Wolfgang Pauli, Léon Rosenfeld, Edward Teller, and Eugene Wigner. In January 1933, the Nazi Party came to power in Germany, and Born, who was Jewish, was suspended. He emigrated to the United Kingdom, where he took a job at St. John's College, Cambridge, and wrote a popular science book, The Restless Universe, as well as Atomic Physics, which soon became a standard textbook. In October 1936, he became the Tait Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, where, working with German-born assistants E. Walter Kellermann and Klaus Fuchs, he continued his research into physics.
