"This book is primarily interesting because it is also a history of much of 20th-century physics, since much of this was developed by people closely tied to Physikalisch-Technishe Reichsanstalt."

"I highly recommend The Bethe-Peierls Correspondence to anyone interested in the character of physics after the advent of quantum mechanics. These two remarkable physicists became deeply respected for their scientific contributions, good sense, and wisdom. They became iconic figures representing integrity by virtue of their comportment as teachers, mentors, and public intellectuals."

"This book presents not only the life and scientific achievements of Hartree but also shows some individuals who have recognized his contribution to their professional lives."

"It is valuable to have the work in print again, since some of the originals are not always easily accessible and all who have struggled, for example, with Boltzmann¡¯s German will welcome accurate translations ... The whole book is to be welcomed as an aid to those undertaking research or otherwise interested in exploring these fields."

"This autobiography is well worth reading for it contains a great deal of first-hand information concerning the overseas studies on Chinese science and technology over the past fifty years, and also because of Ho's close relationship with Joseph Needham and the Needham Research Institute, and in addition, it presents a full picture of his own remarkable character."

"This is a fine blend of personal anecdotes, travel impressions, and scientific reporting ¡ª interesting, informative, and worth reading."

"Overall, it is historians of science that will find this book most interesting, particularly those whose research focuses on intercultural issues."

"We found the plays to be enjoyable, engrossing, provocative, and thought-provoking, and we heartily recommend them to students and general readers interested in biography and the history of science and of literature as well as theater-goers."
