Binding a little cocked, dust jacket has moderate wear to the extremities and one small 3/4" tear at the top of the spine. -- Condition. "This book consists of twenty-one letters exchanged between Schroedinger and three of the outstanding contemporaries: Max Planck, the original inventer of the quantum concept, H. A. Lorentz, Holland's great theoretical physicist, and Albert Einstein. The letters, most of them written immediately after the publication of Schroedinger's papers, give a vivid picture of first reactions to a major scientific idea, and show four great minds in action. Letters on Wave Mechanics represents the first translation into English of one of modern history's most significant exchanges of thought among four of the world's greatest physicists. In addition to their scientific import, there is demonstrated in these communication much of the personality of these four congenial men."-dust jacket.
