FOCUS OF DISCOVERIES, A

“With the use of many original documents the authors create a very lively picture of the highly scientific and pioneering climate at PTR which actually takes the reader back to this fascinating area.”

“This book is primarily interesting because it is also a history of much of 20th-century physics, since much of this was developed by people closely tied to Physikalisch-Technishe Reichsanstalt.”

“It offers a useful overview of the fate of the PTR after 1919, and suggests that a sequel to Cahan's study of the Reichsanstalt's earlier development would be well worth undertaking.”
