The physicist Friedrich Houtermans (1903-1966) was an essential
promoter and proponent of the development of physics in Berne. He
introduced a number of activities in the field of elementary
particles, with a special focus on the physics of cosmic rays, and
important contributions in applied physics. This biography of
Houtermans was written by Edoardo Amaldi and was almost finished
just before his unexpected death in 1989. The editors have only
corrected typographical errors and have introduced only minimal
text changes in order to preserve the original content.
Additionally they have collected and included unpublished pictures
and memories from Houtermans' students and collaborators. The text
is the result of a thorough and intensive study on Houtermans' life
and character carried out by Edoardo Amaldi. It is more than a
biography, since the figure of Houtermans is set in a historical
perspective of Europe between the two world wars. This book will be
of great interest to historians and historians of science.
