The Never-Ending Universe by Max Born Publisher: Beijing United Publishing Company

Introduction · · · · · ·
This book tells the story of how a generation of physics masters broke the shackles of classical mechanics and built the high-rise of modern physics. The author goes from the basics to the complex, from macro to micro: first introduces the movement and properties of macromolecules such as gas and pollen; then starts with microscopic particles such as atoms and electrons, tells the search for ultimate particles, and the wave theory and particle theory of light; finally, goes deep into the nucleus to explore the nature of protons and neutrons, and the huge energy contained in them.

The book is equipped with a large number of illustrations, combined with daily life, and introduces important experiments and principles in detail and vividly. It also produces a unique "page-turning animation" to explain physical phenomena in a dynamic way, which is very interesting and readable, and is more helpful for readers to understand. The book also contains Born's reflections on war and warnings about nuclear threats, allowing us to appreciate his mental journey before signing the Russell-Einstein Manifesto.
