| Zusammenfassung: | "This book assembles human stories about physicists and mathematicians. Remarkably, these stories cluster around some general themes having to do with the interaction between scientists, and with the impact of historic events such as the advent of fascism and communism in the twentieth century - on scientists' behavior. Briefly, but lucidly, some of the beautiful science that brought these scientists together in the first place is explained."--Jacket |

New Jersey : World Scientific, 2007. 1 online resource (xvi, 221 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 192-210) and index. "This book assembles human stories about physicists and mathematicians. Remarkably, these stories cluster around some general themes having to do with the interaction between scientists, and with the impact of historic events such as the advent of fascism and communism in the twentieth century - on scientists' behavior. Briefly, but lucidly, some of the beautiful science that brought these scientists together in the first place is explained."--Jacket 1 Einstein Once Removed 1 -- 2 Heisenberg's Turn 7 -- 3 A True Aristocrat 14 -- 4 The Conscience of Physics 20 -- 5 The Wizard of Pasadena 26 -- 6 Back to Maupertuis 32 -- 7 The Language of God 37 -- 8 Emmy Noether and the Urge for the Abstract 43 -- 9 Oswald Teichmuller and Nazi Science 51 -- 10 Spontaneous Breakdown of Human Decency 58 -- 11 Scientists in Politics 61 -- 12 Jews in Science.
