This book describes the fortunes and activities of one of the few
specialist publishing houses still in the hands of the same family
that established it over years ago, and with it gives a p- trayal
of those members who directed it. In doing so it covers a period of
momentous historical events that directly and in- rectly shaped the
firm's actions and achievements. But this volume tells not only, in
word and picture, the story of Springer- Verlag but also,
interwoven with it, the story of scientific p- lishing in Germany
over the span of a hundred years. The text, densely packed with
carefully researched facts and figures, is illuminated and
supplemented by many illustrations whose captions, together with
the author's notes, contain a wealth of important and interesting
information. The reader is urged to read these captions as well as
the notes so as to - preciate in full the events and people
described. I have added a few footnotes to clarify or expand on
some matters that may be unfamiliar to non-German readers. Because
of the long period of time covered in these pages many of the
documents and letters shown and commented upon are different in
diction and style from those of today. An - tempt was made in the
translation to keep the flavour of the original language and not
contemporise it.
