## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very difficult concepts explained in an understanble way
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2021*

The concepts and subject matter in this book are very complex but are explained in a fundamental way that is more understandable than some of his contemporaries and even more modern writers on these subjects. The uncertainty principle is more clearly explained than most physicists can manage and entropy is also explained in a clear manner. The quantum action theorized and attributed to Max Planck is also clearly explained along with its significance in quantum physics. The fact that the book is compiled from lectures is evident when reading it but I think it lends a certain amount of clarity to the subject matter because Bohr was excellent at lectures and therefore the book conveys his grasp of the subject matter and he was speaking on these occasions at organizations which did not consist of physicists so he had to assume the listeners/readers didn't have degrees in physics. The philosophy of science and the methodology of scientific observation is also very interesting to me because as a man of pure science Bohr seemed to have a surprisingly broad base of knowledge extending well beyond physics and he seemed to relish different viewpoints that may be counter intuative to most scientists. His recollections of various discussions he had with Albert Einstein are also a very good part of this book which I found to be interesting and insightful. Several of the lectures covered the same topics and were a little repetitive but with the complex nature of the subject matter it actually reiterated subjects that due to their complexity need to be read more than once to even come close to grasping. Overall a brilliant book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good specialized knowledge
  

*by D***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2018*

This book is not appropriate for the casual reader.  However, the book is indispensable for anyone seeking an introduction to the epistemological challenges created by quantum mechanics for classical, mechanistic understanding of physics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Niels Bohr has a few words of wisdom for you. Hear him!
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 11, 2019*

I bought this book in order to have a “conversation” with one of my “most adored” physicists of all time: Niels Bohr, and I was not disappointed.
