Berlin, Springer, 1984-1993. Four volumes in four. Large 8vo (24.0 x 16.0 cm). 3,028 pp. [AI (1985) xi, 633; AII (1989) x, 717; AIII (1993) x, 700; B (1984) x, 937] pp. Uniform blue buckram with gilt titles on the spines and front boards, near uniform pictorial dust jackets.
These four volumes (series A and B) contain the complete scientific writings of Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976). A third series (C) by the same editors, dealing only with Heisenberg's non-scientific publications, and works directed at a general audience, is not included. The papers are mostly in facsimile, as published. The prefaces, with notes on Heisenberg's life and times, are in English. Library stamp on the title pages; otherwise a very good, clean set. In contrast with the series C (which contains "popular" papers), series A and B (which contain scientific papers) are rare.
