Heinz Haber (May 15, 1913 - February 13, 1990) was a German physicist and science writer who primarily became famous for his TV programs and books about physics and environmental subjects. His lucid style of explaining hard science has frequently been imitated by later popular science presenters in Germany. Presumed First Edition/First Printing thus.
