Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hendrik Brugt Gerhard Casimir (1909-2000), a Dutch physicist best known for his research on the two-fluid model of superconductors and the Casimir effect, studied theoretical physics under Paul Ehrenfest at Leiden University, receiving his PhD in 1931. He also spent time in Copenhagen with Niels Bohr and at ETH Zürich as an assistant to Wolfgang Pauli. In 1938, Casimir became professor of physics at Leiden University; in 1942, he moved to the Philips Natuurkundig Laboratorium in Eindhoven where he remained an active scientist until becoming its co-director in 1946 and a member of Philips's board of directors in 1956. Casimir retired from Philips in 1972. 'An outstanding scientific autobiography. I remain impressed by its thoughtfulness and charm.' - American Journal of Physics '[A] rich autobiography and history-of-atomic-physics. A charming, idiosyncratic, and meaningful account of events and personalities that changed physics.' - Kirkus 'What makes this book fascinating reading is the account of people, [Casimir's] teachers and colleagues. The portraits given here are very perceptive and lifelike. Casimir writes with admiration and gratitude of Ehrenfest's inspiration and guidance. There is an excellent study of Niels Bohr. Casimir talks with great frankness about his attitude to industry.' - Rudolf Peierls, Nature 'I myself read [this book] with fascination, meeting old friends such as Gamow, Landau, Kramers, and learning much more about them. Also in the book are character sketches of those who made physics in the Netherlands such as Lorentz, Kamerlingh Onnes and Ehrenfest, the latter remembered with the greatest affection by the author.' - Sir Nevill Mott, Contemporary Physics 'Haphazard Reality paints a vivid and insightful picture of the development of modern physics.' - Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society.…

Kramer, With Small Pencil "/ K" At Top Of Front Cover. Hendrik Brugt Gerhard Casimir (1909 - 2000) Was Best Known For His Research On The Two-Fluid Model Of Superconductors And The Casimir Effect. He Studied Theoretical Physics At Leiden Under Paul Ehrenfest. His Phd Thesis (Offered Here) Dealt With The Quantum Mechanics Of A Rigid Spinning Body And The Group Theory Of The Rotations Of Molecules. During That Time He Also Spent Some Time In Copenhagen With Niels Bohr, And Then Worked With Wolfgang Pauli In Zurich., In 1942, During World War Ii, Casimir Moved To The Philips Physics Laboratory, Natlab. He Retired From Philips In 1972. Although He Spent Much Of His Professional Life In Industry, Hendrik Casimir Was One Of The Great Dutch Theoretical Physicists. Casimir Made Many Contributions To Science During His Years In Research From 1931 To 1950. He Helped Found The European Physical Society And Became Its President From 1972 Till 1975. In 1979 He Was One Of The Key Speakers At Cern's 25Th Anniversary Celebrations. While At Natlab, In 1948 Casimir, Collaborating With Dirk Polder, Predicted The Quantum Mechanical Attraction Between Conducting Plates Now Known As The Casimir Effect, Which Has Important Consequences. Casimir Also Worked At Mems, Etc.…
