Thirty Years That Shook Physics

At the beginning of the last century, classical physics was shaken by two great revolutionary theories. One of them - Albert Einstein's theory of relativity - brought about a revolution in the classical concept of space-time. The second - quantum theory - was born and developed in collaboration with a whole constellation of scientists such as Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Paul Dirac.

In his book "Thirty Years That Shook Physics," George Gamow tells the captivating story of the "brainstorming" of great minds, in which he himself participated directly.
