Atoms, metaphors, and paradoxes: Niels Bohr and the construction of a new physics
New York: Cambridge University Press (1993)
Abstract
This book reexamines the birth of quantum mechanics, in particular examining the development of crucial and original insights of Bohr. In particular, it gives a detailed study of the development and the interpretation given to Bohr's Principle of Correspondence. It also describes the role that this principle played in guiding Bohr's research over the critical period from 1920 to 1927
