{"product_id":"leon-rosenfeld-anja-skaar-jacobsen-9789814307819","title":"Leon Rosenfeld: Physics, Philosophy, and Politics in the Twentieth Century","description":"L on Rosenfeld (1904-1974) was a remarkable, many-sided physicist of exceptional erudition. He was at the center of modern physics and was well-known as Niels Bohr's close collaborator and spokesman. Besides he reflected deeply on the history and philosophy of science and its social role from a leftist perspective. As both actor and acute spectator of modern physics and as a polyglot cosmopolitan whose life crossed those of many important people in both the East and West, as well as by virtue of his close collaboration and friendship with Bohr, Rosenfeld was an important figure in twentieth century physics. His biography illuminates the development, popularization, and reception of quantum physics and its interpretation in addition to the development of the political Left. The book draws extensively from previously untapped, unpublished sources in more than five languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anja Skaar Jacobsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814307815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814307819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012","brand":"Anja Skaar Jacobsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941399331071,"sku":"9789814307819","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_91c8fa8a-d035-4fc5-8738-a767d8cd3eb0.jpg?v=1681452700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leon-rosenfeld-anja-skaar-jacobsen-9789814307819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
