商品描述
Sommerfeld left his mark in the history of mathematics, fluid mechanics, a number of physical subdisciplines and, in particular, as founder of a most productive school (Peter Debye, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg, Linus Pauling and Hans Bethe were his pupils, to name only the Nobel laureates among them). This biography is to a large extent based on primary source material (correspondence, diaries, unpublished manuscripts). It should be of particular interest to students who are keen to know more about the historical roots of modern science.
Sommerfeld lived through turbulent times of German history (Wilhelmian Empire, Weimar Republic, Nazi period). His life, therefore, illustrates how science and scientists perform in changing social environments. From this perspective, the biography should also attract readers with a general interest in the history of science and technology.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書的主題是理論物理學家阿諾德·索末菲爾德（Arnold Sommerfeld，1868-1951）的傳記。儘管索末菲爾德因其對半經典原子理論（波爾-索末菲爾德模型、索末菲爾德的精細結構常數）的闡述而聞名於量子理論，但他在現代物理歷史中的角色並不僅限於原子和量子。
索末菲爾德在數學、流體力學以及多個物理子學科的歷史上留下了深刻的印記，特別是作為一個極具生產力的學派的創始人（彼得·德拜、沃爾夫岡·泡利、維爾納·海森堡、林納斯·鮑林和漢斯·貝特等都是他的學生，僅舉其中的諾貝爾獎得主）。這本傳記在很大程度上基於原始資料（信件、日記、未發表的手稿）。對於渴望了解現代科學歷史根源的學生來說，這本書應該特別有趣。
索末菲爾德生活在德國歷史的動盪時期（威廉帝國、魏瑪共和國、納粹時期）。因此，他的生活展示了科學和科學家在變化的社會環境中如何運作。從這個角度來看，這本傳記也應該吸引對科學和技術歷史有一般興趣的讀者。
作者簡介
Michael Eckert studied physics at the Technical University of Munich and received his Ph.D in theoretical physics from the University of Bayreuth in 1979. He has dedicated his career to the history of physics.
Since 1981, Dr. Eckert has been engaged in several projects on the history of modern physics at the Deutsches Museum, Munich. He has authored and co-authored books and articles on such diverse specialties as the history of solid state physics, plasma physics, and fluid dynamics. This biography is the culmination of a long historical research endeavor on Arnold Sommerfeld at the Deutsches Museum that has included the editing of Sommerfeld's scientific correspondence in two volumes (2000 and 2004).
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
邁克爾·艾克特（Michael Eckert）在慕尼黑工業大學（Technical University of Munich）學習物理，並於1979年在拜羅伊特大學（University of Bayreuth）獲得理論物理博士學位。他將自己的職業生涯奉獻給物理歷史的研究。
自1981年以來，艾克特博士在慕尼黑的德意志博物館（Deutsches Museum）參與了多個現代物理歷史的專案。他撰寫和合著了多本書籍和文章，涵蓋固態物理、等離子體物理和流體力學等多個不同的專業領域。本傳記是他在德意志博物館對阿諾德·索末菲（Arnold Sommerfeld）進行長期歷史研究的成果，該研究包括編輯索末菲的科學通信，分為兩卷（2000年和2004年）。
