Synopsis

This is a new publication of Niels Bohr's books Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge (1958) and Essays 1958-1962 on Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge (1963).

The book is a collection of articles containing Bohr's views on a wide range of issues - from the genesis of quantum mechanics to biology (the problem of life) to the connection between the sciences to quantum physics and philosophy and to the unity of human knowledge. Even only two chapters (of 14) make this book invaluable - Discussion with Einstein on Epistemological Problems in Atomic Physics and the Rutherford Memorial Lecture (which provides a first-hand account of the origin of atomic physics and quantum mechanics).
