Heisenberg in the Atomic Age: Science and the Public Sphere

Pages 419-422 | Received 23 Aug 2010, Accepted 23 Aug 2010, Published online: 03 Jan 2011
 

Notes

1Carson's book builds on, but goes much beyond, her doctoral dissertation, ‘Particle Physics and Cultural Politics: Heisenberg and the Shaping of a Role for the Physicist in Postwar West Germany’ (Harvard 1995).

2The bibliography to the book is massive—more than 55 pages, six of which are devoted to Heisenberg's own writings. Footnotes are frequent—some chapters contain more than a hundred of them—but they are not obtrusive, since Carson avoids the tendency, evident in some authors, to construct another narrative in her notes parallel to the one she offers in the text.
