These documents do nothing less than bear witness to one of the most dramatic changes in the foundations of science. The book has three sections that cover general relativity, epistemological issues, and quantum mechanics. This fascinating work will be a vital text for historians and philosophers of physics, as well as researchers in related physical theories.

Quantum mechanics - the grandiose theory that describes nature down to the submicroscopic level - was first formulated in Goettingen in 1925. How did this come about and why is it that Goettingen became the pre-eminent location for a revolution in physics? This book is the first to investigate the wide range of factors that were pivotal for quantum physics to be established in Goettingen. These include the process of generational change of physics professors, the hopes of mathematicians seeking new fields of research, and a new understanding of the interplay of experiment, theory and philosophy. The other books in the four-volume collection address the beginnings of quantum physics research at Copenhagen, Berlin, and Munich. These works emerged from an expansive study on the quantum revolution as a major transformation of physical knowledge undertaken by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and the Fritz Haber Institute (2006-2012).

Die Edition gibt anhand groesstenteils unbekannter Originalquellen ein kritisches Bild des zweiten deutschen Nobelpreistragers fur Physik. Dazu werden die detailreichen Schilderungen, die Philipp Lenard zu seinem Lebensweg, aber auch zu den Physikern und den Laboratorien seiner Zeit gegeben hat, mit Quellen anderer Wissenschaftler und seinen eigenen Tagebuchaufzeichnungen konfrontiert und hinterfragt. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein differenziertes Bild nicht nur einer komplexen Wissenschaftlerpersoenlichkeit sondern zugleich auch von den zahlreichen Problemen und Auseinandersetzungen der Physik im deutschen Kaiserreich und der Weimarer Republik. Jedem an der Physik Interessierten werden die Zusammenhange von physikalischen Entdeckungen und persoenlichen Charakteren, von Laboratoriumsausstattungen und wissenschaftstheoretischen Vorstellungen innerhalb politischer und persoenlicher Auseinandersetzungen eine faszinierende Lekture bereiten.
