Publisher's Synopsis
One of Jim Al-Khalili's Top 10 Science books
This book may be less well-known, but when I read it as an undergraduate student I realised I wanted to spend my life as a research physicist. Max Born is one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics. This lovely little book is a collection of correspondence letters between these two giants of physics.

A classic collection of correspondence between two Nobel Prize winners, The Born-Einstein Letters , is also highly topical: scientists continue to struggle with quantum physics, their role in wartime and the public's misunderstanding.
