5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read, June 18, 2004
This review is from: No Time to be Brief: A Scientific Biography of Wolfgang Pauli (Hardcover)
Fans of modern physics are well acquainted with Pauli. A Nobel Laureate (1945), who is best remembered for the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Enz takes us through Pauli's life. Most notably the crucial years at the Gottingen school of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, where quantum mechanics was born.

The book takes us into his research. But it also conveys some of the intellectual ferment and excitement of those times. And across the pages appear many other august notables in physics. Einstein, Born, Bohr...

Enz also tries to give some insight into Pauli's personality and his dealings with his family.

An enjoyable read.
