Description
The physicist Friedrich Houtermans (1903-1966) was an essential promoter and proponent of the development of physics in Berne. He introduced a number of activities in the field of elementary particles, with a special focus on the physics of cosmic rays, and important contributions in applied physics. This biography of Houtermans was written by Edoardo Amaldi and was almost finished just before his unexpected death in 1989. The editors have only corrected typographical errors and have introduced only minimal text changes in order to preserve the original content. Additionally they have collected and included unpublished pictures and memories from Houtermans’ students and collaborators. The text is the result of a thorough and intensive study on Houtermans’ life and character carried out by Edoardo Amaldi. It is more than a biography, since the figure of Houtermans is set in a historical perspective of Europe between the two world wars. This book will be of great interest to historians and historians of science.
User’s Reviews
Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐This book has some historical interest but otherwise it is a huge disappointment. It seriously underplays Houtermans communist links and does little to enlighten us on what he really did in Nazi Germany and in the Soviet Union. I had hoped for much more. I am glad I leased it and did not buy it. It is a kind of incomplete Festschrift and to a degree it leads one to an impression I think is false.
⭐Intéressant pour l’histoire des sciences et de la physique nucléaire dans les années 1925-56.C’est la vie d’un physicien de 1er plan: F.G. Houtermans
