Get Ebooks Atomic Physics And Human Knowledge (Dover Books On Physics)
These essays and speeches by the Nobel Prize–winning physicist date from 1934 to 1958. Rather than expositions on quantum physics, the articles are philosophical in nature, exploring the relevance of atomic physics to many areas of human endeavor. Topics include light and life, biology and atomic physics, natural philosophy and human cultures, unity of knowledge, atoms and human knowledge, and physical science and the problem of life. An essay in which Bohr and Einstein discuss determinism in quantum theory and the future of the wave equation theory is of particular note. 1961 edition.

Great as only a genius could write on the subject at that time.
Its interesting to see the earlier development of these topics and described with a philosophical bend, definitely a good read.
Niels Bohr, as so many of his contemporaries have said, can be abstruse in any language.
Great lectures by a great man. It would be interesting for everyone fond of physics and science in general = )
Not the easiest read but fascinating.
