Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-20 00:00:00 STEPHEN Uggles Excellent scientific biography. However, not for the layman, unless you're prepared to skip over a lot of equations that will mean little to you. A physics degree would allow full enjoyment of this careful account of Dirac's science, including the less famous "failures". I am a self-taught physicist, so I am skipping over some of the harder parts, but not missing much of the full experience.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-01 00:00:00 Joseph Michael This is by far the best biography that I have encountered on Dirac, a brilliant and very original physicist. Dirac's many contributions to physics are covered in detail and are described in their historical context. This book also includes Dirac's most important and interesting interactions with other great physicists and also contains insightful information on his philosophical outlook, his pastimes, and his unique personality. It also includes an excellent selection of photos and even some samples of Dirac's precise handwriting! The book is written in a clear and concise style, much like Dirac's own method of presentation.
