The end of the certain world : the life and science of Max Born : the Nobel physicist who ignited the quantum revolution by Nancy Thorndike Greenspan
Apparently well-researched. Not written in a captivating style. A few editing errors. I would have preferred reading this more from the viewpoint of a physicist. Credit due for telling the story of a much underappreciated pioneer of quantum mechanics. Born did live an interesting life.

What I really love about books such as this one is that they provide you with an historical framework for facts and names you have heard and read about during your school and/or academic years.
It is nice to read and dense in information. Not to mention the opportunity of better understanding one of the greatest mind of our recent history
