By L. Rosenfeld and J. Rud Nielsen (Eds.)
The impact of Niels Bohr's paintings, of his method of examine, either sensible and theoretical, is broadly felt this present day. His contributions to our wisdom of the atomic components of subject and to our view of technology, stay of basic importance.The book of his accrued works will provide historians of technological know-how and scientists easy accessibility to a life-work fullyyt dedicated to the rational research of the legislation of nature and of the singular personality in their that means for us.In addition to Bohr's released papers, the sequence contains unpublished manuscripts and a big variety of letters and different files, with explanatory notes.

The description of the experiments was also revised considerably.
S U R F A C E TENSION OF WATER determined by requiring that all acting’forces balance and that the internal work of elastic deformations be a minimum. Bohr challenged this contention and pointed out that this procedure does not in all cases give the correct solution, but that the applicability of the principle of minimum work of deformation must be investigated for each type of mechanical system in question. He illustrated his view by simple examples, but failed to convince the 30-years older Johannsen.
These are the main lines of the new structure of scientific thought that gradually unfolded itself as Bohr, with uncompromising consistency, pursued his epistemological analysis to its last consequences. That a few of the greatest representatives of the type of physical thinking with which he was so decisively breaking refused to follow him is humanly understandable; that Einstein should be among them was always a matter of surprise and regret to Bohr. On the other hand, the progress of his work owed much to Einstein’s opposition; indeed, its successive stages are marked by the refutation of Einstein’s subtle objections.
