Bohr and Planck helped shaped the cultural landscape of the world today. Now their work is available here in a digestible, pocket format for the modern reader.
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was a German theoretical physicist
whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics
in 1918. Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, but
his fame as a physicist rests primarily on his role as the
originator of quantum theory, which revolutionized human
understanding of atomic and subatomic processes.
Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist who made
foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and
quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in
1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific
research.
Dr James Lees (introduction) is a Physicist, Author, and Science
Communicator who studied at The University of York and Stanford. He
works as a researcher and can be found giving talks and workshops
across the UK at various educational festivals on a wide variety of
scientific topics. He also has several other books including
Physics in 50 Milestone Moments and Who Knew? Physics.
Professor Marika Taylor (Series Foreword) is a Professor of
Theoretical Physics and Head of School within Mathematical Sciences
at the University of Southampton. Her research interests include
all aspects of string theory, gravitational physics and quantum
field theory. In recent years much of her work has been focused on
holographic dualities and their implications. Marika's research has
featured in such publications as Physical Review, Journal of High
Energy Physics and General Relativity and Gravitation among others.
