Physical Sciences Library (Clark Hall) QC174.12; .J66 2008

From the publisher: “This is the story of quantum physics that has never been told, an equation-free investigation into the turbulent development of the new science and its very fallible creators, including little-known details of the personal relationship between the deeply troubled Ehrenfest and his dear friend Albert Einstein. Jones weaves together the personal and the scientific in a heartwarming–and heartbreaking–story of the men who struggled to create quantum physics: a story of passion, tragedy, ambition and science.”
