The End Of The Certain World
by Nancy Thorndike Greenspan
The first authorized biography of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist. When Max Born won the Nobel Prize in 1954, unspoken vindication was part of the honor. For when Werner Heisenberg received the prize in 1933 -for work done together with Born, as Born's assistant-Born himself was never mentioned. Clearly, that explains Born's relative anonymity compared to his contemporaries-namely Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Oppenheimer, Einstein, and Bohr. In The End of the Certain World , Nancy Greenspan rights the record. Here, for the first time, is the full story of Max Born: teacher to the inventors of the atomic bomb, forced exile from Hitler's Germany, acquaintance of Russian spy Klaus Fuchs, and close friend of Einstein. His role in the "Golden Age of Physics" in the 1920s-most notably in quantum mechanics-helped to shape science and alter history. That Born used his platform as a Nobel laureate to speak out against the moral determinism that pervaded the scientific community at the time-the wretched attitude that consented to the creation of nuclear weapons solely in the name of scientific advancement-makes him that much more significant. A social history and a history of science as well as an intimate biography, The End of the Certain World reveals a great scientist's struggle with morality, politics, war, and obscurity.

GRIBBIN, JOHN & MARY
Chamberlain Brothers, East Rutherford: 2005. Hardcover with dustjacket and DVD on the Life of Albert Einstein. Brand new book. There is a remainder mark on the bottom edge of the book. 1905: Albert Einstein has quit his university teaching position and works six days a week as a clerk in a patent office. Yet out of this upheaval will come the basis for his greatest work - the Theory of Relativity - leading the scientific community to refer to 1905 as "annus mirabilis," or "the miracle year." This is the fascinating account by the Gribbins, covering Einstein's scientific achievements, as well as his tumultuous personal life. A DVD of the acclaimed biography special is included with the book, presenting the historical context which led to the most famous - and mega-lethal - equation the world has ever known.
