"It offers a useful overview of the fate of the PTR after 1919, and suggests that a sequel to Cahan's study of the Reichsanstalt's earlier development would be well worth undertaking."

"Lee has done a superb job of editing this correspondence. Impressively researched, meticulously annotated and immaculately produced, both volumes are a pleasure to read and should have a place in every library of modern science. She has helped us to better appreciate someone who was not just a first-rate theorist, but also an uncommonly distinguished Englishman."

"Overall, Gay's history of Imperial College is an invaluable source of information not only on the college's history, but more broadly on the history of science, technology and medicine in the United Kingdom during the twentieth century."

"Particularly illuminating is the author's treatment of Nernst's professional relationships, which effectively illustrate his influential position in the German physical chemistry and physics communities... it will be of greatest benefit as a reference for historians already familiar with Nernst's work or those who wish to gain special insight into his process of discovery in developing the Nernst equation and the third law. The primary historical data presented here makes up a valuable picture of the German scientific community, portraying Nernst as an active, respected, prolific, and highly motivated researcher who came to define the scope of electrochemistry in its incipience."

"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."
