Description
Schrödinger in Oxford is an authoritative account of Erwin Schrödinger's time at Magdalen College, Oxford, by Sir David Clary. Through access to many unpublished manuscripts, the author reveals the events leading up to Schrödinger's departure from Berlin in 1933, his arrival in Oxford and award of the Nobel Prize.
The book provides a compelling narrative of Schrödinger's remarkable life and scientific contributions, as well as personal insights into his experiences with Adolf Hitler and his family. With clear style and copious citation of primary sources, this biography sheds new light on one of history's greatest scientists.
