      Basic Concepts of Modern Physics is a fascinating introduction to twentieth-century physics.

      In this insightful text, Dr Georg Unger provides clear descriptions of the conceptual bases of physics, including quantum mechanics, particles and relativity theory, as well as other aspects relating to key physical concepts to phenomena.

      Author Biography

      Georg Unger (1909-1999) was born in Stuttgart, Germany and was a student at the first Waldorf school when it opened in 1919. He did his doctorate in Zurich, Switzerland with extensive studies in mathematics, physics and philosophy. In 1955, he became a visiting fellow at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for studies in cybernetics with Norbert Wiener. As a visiting guest at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton University, he met J. Robert Oppenheimer and, later, John von Neumann in Washington, for scientific philosophical discussions. Dr Unger later became the head of the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland.

      Review

      "In his seminal study of contemporary science, Georg Unger explores the conceptual foundations of twentieth-century physics, including quantum theory, probability, relativity, and mathematics. He does so in a way that relates them to both phenomenology and Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy. This book can act as a model for understanding modern science from a spiritual perspective."---- Arthur Zajonc, PhD, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Physics Emeritus, Amherst College, and author of Catching the Light and Meditation as Contemplative Inquiry
