BETHE-PEIERLS CORRESPONDENCE,THE

“I highly recommend The Bethe–Peierls Correspondence to anyone interested in the character of physics after the advent of quantum mechanics. These two remarkable physicists became deeply respected for their scientific contributions, good sense, and wisdom. They became iconic figures representing integrity by virtue of their comportment as teachers, mentors, and public intellectuals.”

“The remarkable lives and achievements of these two great scientists are amply chronicled in these letters, highlighting not only their achievements in physics but also aspects of personal life during the social upheavals of the time through which they lived.”
