The life of Werner Heisenberg, by the AIP Center for History of Physics. Text by historian David C. Cassidy and many illustrations describe Heisenberg's contributions to quantum physics, especially the discovery of quantum mechanics and the Uncertainty Principle, and his life in Germany under the Nazi regime and thereafter.

Werner Heisenberg's high school years were interrupted by World War I, when he had to leave school to help harvest crops in Bavaria. Back in Munich after the war, he volunteered as a messenger for democratic socialist forces that fought and ousted the communist government that had taken control of the Bavarian state.

Werner Heisenberg won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1932 for establishing the field of quantum mechanics. Heisenberg suggested that any theory of the atom must be based on observable phenomenon, such as the spectral lines emitted by atoms, and not pictorial constructs such as Bohr's nuclear model of the atom.
