http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79125366

The lectures consist of two series of lectures delivered by Niels Bohr. The first series is Birge's copy of five lectures delivered at the University of Göttingen (1922) on atomic theory; the second series of lectures is comprised of the transcriptions of cylinder recordings, annotated by Birge, of five lectures (out of six delivered) at the University of California at Berkeley (1937) on the development of atomic theory and the relationship of that theory to philosophy. There are also three speeches delivered by Birge on: parapsychology (1961), extraterrestrial life (1966), and the manned space program (1969).
