Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge by Niels Bohr

These articles and speeches by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist date from 1934 to 1958. Rather than expositions on quantum physics, the papers are philosophical in nature, exploring the relevance of atomic physics to many areas of human endeavor.

Niels Bohr (1865-1962), a Danish scientist, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 for his contributions to the understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics. Bohr was a key member of the team of scientists that worked on the Manhattan Project and later campaigned for the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
