Niels Bohr reprint collection, 1909-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70894734

A collection of reprints of articles by Bohr and his students, primarily on physics, with a few on chemistry. Authors include Bohr, R.H. Fowler, Werner Heisenberg (one article), Georg von Hevesy, J. Holtsmark, Erich Hückel, J.C. Jacobsen, H.A. Kramers, Werner Kuhn, and others. Topics include radioactive decay, quantum mechanics, optics, nuclear physics, spectroscopy, and others. Included is a small collection of reprints on biochemical aspects of dentistry, collected by Aksel Tovborg Jensen. Also included are a few typewritten manuscripts, such as a 1955 account of the international activities of the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen (later named the Niels Bohr Institute) from 1916-1955, an address given by Bohr at the Newton Tercentenary Celebration at the Royal Society, London, in 1946, and a copy of a spoof "Journal of Jocular Physics," v. 3 (Oct. 7, 1955).

The Niels Bohr Library is part of the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics. Its primary mission is to preserve and make known the history of modern physics and allied sciences. The photograph collection is named in honor of Emilio Segrè, best known for his Nobel Prize-winning work in nuclear and high-energy physics, but also an avid photographer and author of books on the history of modern physics.

Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist who made tremendous contributions to his field, transforming accepted notions of atomic structure, helping to develop nuclear fission, and advocating for international cooperation in crafting responsible nuclear policy. Bohr was born in Copenhagen in 1885 into a family that encouraged his academic pursuits. Christian Bohr, his father, was professor of physiology at the University of Copenhagen. Bohr credited his father for awakening hi...

The Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge began in 1645 when a group of eminent British thinkers started to meet regularly in London to discuss the new, experimental philosophies of science. Though the English Civil War and the Cromwellian Protectorate interrupted its meetings, the Society was formally constituted in 1660. Two years later King Charles II granted the Society its first charter. A second royal charter was granted in 1663 when the Society was given its official nam...
