Few physicists influenced their subject, both operationally and philosophically, as did Erwin Schrodinger. It was with great anticipation, then, that I began this book. Indeed, having read previously the outstanding accounts of Bohr (by Pais) and Heisenberg (by Cassidy), I hoped to be 'wowed' for a third time. Unfortunatley, Moore's book is a supreme disappointment and, aside from the fact that it deals with a towering figure of 20th century physics, has nothing in common with the other two. Moore is unable, or unwilling, to separate the relevant from the ridiculous in his narrative. Equal space (? even more) is given to the soporific details of Schrodinger's travels (yet another vapid description of a yet another love affair) as is devoted to an analysis of his work or even to the influences on his life and intellect.Of all biographies, the scientific kind may be the most challenging type to write well. To be sucessful the author of a scientific biography must under! stand the science, the person and the world in which the person lived. Moore seems to knows the details and he must surely understand the prerequisites. It is a shame that he was unable to meld these details together with more skill and unable to convey his insights to the reader. Schrodinger deserved better.
