New Haven: Yale University Press, (1955) dj. Hardcover first edition - The influence of scientific research on human events. Divided into 3 sections - the age of transition from the era of electricity to the discovery of atoms, exploration of cosmic space and creation and creatures. A rather uncommon book by this German theoretical and mathematical physicist who made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, but whose reputation was diminished by his right wing views, including joining the Nazi Party in 1933, although he continued to support Einstein's theories. This book was published after he was declared "rehabilitated' and returned to his position as a tenured professor at the University of Hamburg. Translated by Ralph Manheim. Index. vii, 139 pp.
