The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom

Graham Farmelo

Biography

A biography of the famously reticent physicist Paul Dirac, one of the founders of quantum mechanics, exploring both his profound scientific contributions and his enigmatic personality. Dean said he too enjoyed the book — a study of a singular scientific mind that appeals to his own interest in the people and ideas behind foundational science.
