"This book is an authoritative account of Erwin Schrödinger's in Magdalen College, Oxford in the 1930s drawn from many unpublished manuscripts, letters, and correspondences. It reveals in unprecedented detail the events leading up to Schrödinger's sudden departure from Berlin in 1933, his arrival in Oxford and award of the Nobel Prize, his dramatic escape from the Nazis in Austria to return to Oxford, and his urgent flight from Belgium to Dublin at the start of the Second World War. Schrödinger's intense interactions with other great scientists, as well as the President and Fellows of a highly traditional Oxford College, in the chaotic political atmosphere of the 1930s are a novel feature of the book"--
