Bound in publisher's full gray cloth, gilt (black) lettering on spine, red printed endpapers, top edge green. Illustrated with 16 pages of B&W photographs. Includes Sources and Bibliography, Notes, Index and a Family Tree. This is an elegant portrait if a man who was perhaps the greatest scientific mind of modern times, and at the same time one of the great tragic figures of our times. More than a scientist, he was a philosopher and a man of great wit and charm. As a young man he had abandoned much of life and led a monastic existence, until Hitler, and the pressures of war thrust him unwillingly back into the mainstream of life. A remarkable man, this book strives to introduce him to the world as a real person, and not just as an icon of science and intelligence.. The volume is in very good condition, tight and square, with no ownership marks. The dust jacket is significantly chipped at the head, heel, and edges, but whole. VERY GOOD/GOOD.. Book Club Edition. B&W Photographs. Thick 8vo 9" - 10" tall. xv, 718, (1) pp .
