A Life of Erwin Schrodinger by Walter J Moore

A Life of Erwin Schrodinger by Walter J Moore

Erwin Schroedinger was best known for the discovery of wave mechanics, which won him the Nobel Prize for Physics. This book interweaves Schroedinger's scientific work with his intense personal friendships, his interest in mysticism, and the turbulent background of contemporary political events.

'The best book available today on the life and work of Schrödinger' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'It is an attempt to analyze a soul, and in that respect it surpasses even The Double Helix by James Watson in its examination of the most visceral drives of a great scientist.' The New York Times Book Review
'A bestseller among scientific biographies.' Science
