Produktinformationen zu „No Time to be Brief “
This book retraces the life and work of Nobel Laureate Wolfgang Pauli, one of the great physicists of the 20th century. Pauli spent most of his professional life in Zurich where he was a professor at the Federal Institute of Technology ETH, and where he was in close contact with the psychology of C.G. Jung.
Klappentext zu „No Time to be Brief “
This book retraces the life of the physicist Wolfgang Pauli, analyses his scientific work, and describes the evolution of his thinking. Pauli spent 30 years as a professor at the Federal Institute of Technology ETH in Zurich, which occupies a central place in this biography. It would be incomplete, however, without a rendering of Pauli's sarcastic wit and, most importantly, of the world of his dreams. It is through the latter that quite a different aspect of Pauli's life comes in, namely his association with the psychology of C.G. Jung and his school.

Rezension zu „No Time to be Brief “
It is a fascinating reading, indeed, the life of this famous physicist, the evolution of his thinking, the world of his dreams, ideals, accomplishments and failures. Highly recommended to all those working in the field, and, equally of lovers of good literature! Zentralblatt MATH It should remain a standard reference work for years to come ... Enz's account is a work of impressive scholarship, allied to a sympathetic insight into the character and milieu of his subject. He is owed a debt of gratitude by all physicists, historians of science and by anyone interested in the story of those heroic years when our understanding of the physical world underwent such radical change. Ian Aitchison, Professor of Physics, University of Oxford, Times Higher Education Supplement This book is a labour of love ... it is a marvellous, meaty, read. Materials World Enz's portrait fascinates. Science Enz has given us an authentic portrait of one of the great spirits of our time. Nature
