112 MERCER STREET: EINSTEIN, RUSSELL, GODEL, PAULI AND THE END OF
INNOCENCE IN SCIENCE is edited by Katherine Williams, who offers up
biographical sketches of these men and their revolutionary work. As
World War II was ending Einstein invited three of his close friends to
his home at 112 Mercer Street in New Jersey to discuss science,
philosophy and current events: thus a series of historic meetings
between Einstein, Russell, Pauli and logician Godel would change the
world. This survey blends science, history and biography in a coverage
perfect for college-level collections strong in science history.
