"""Like many commemorative events of the Great War, this collective volume demonstrates that memory is not always celebratory and provides historians with opportunities to revisit heroic vignettes. Thanks to the heterogeneous backgrounds of the various contributors, this biographical volume is a welcome complement to the standard biography by John Heilbron (1974). . . . It opens up broad new perspectives on the relations between physics and chemistry in the early twentieth century.""-- ""Metascience"""
