In this collection of informal reminiscences, first published in
1975, Max Born has written an extraordinarily vivid account of his
life and work, originally intended for his family. Ranging from his
time at the University of Goettingen, where Born had his first real
motivation for a professional career in science, to the period in
Berlin as professor extraordinary, when he and his wife became
close friends of Einstein, these anecdotes and memories chart the
"heroic age of physics" from the perspective of one of its leading
characters. In 1954 Born was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for
his fundamental contributions to the great discovery of that cadre
of superlative scientific minds - quantum theory. But his
scientific research provides only one strand of this story. Born's
varied interests outside science led to many interesting
experiences - some of historical importance insofar as they offer a
glimpse into German society before and between the wars.
