DESCRIPTION
"The single best introduction to the development of quantum theory, far from limited to considerations of physics; I have been obliged to acquire my own library of copies for classes I teach, because it has not been reprinted: inexplicable, and inexcusable: Heisenberg's moral reputation is not unscathed by his history, but he remained still mostly accepted by his colleagues in physics, and whatever revisionism is implicit in this document, its thoughtful, almost innocent unfolding of the intellectual revolution he steered ultimately requires us to yield to the honesty of his mind. Physicists everywhere, as well as historians, appeal for its re-release."
