Book Description
Our understanding of the Second World War has been influenced most often by the political and military leaders who made major decisions that changed the lives of millions. While this emphasis is critically important, we must also remember those innumerable people who were forever affected by the momentous events of that tumultuous period. Beginning at the turn of the 20th century, this book traces the era and life of a young man who was born in Oldenburg, Germany in 1925 and who came of age in the early 1940s during the largest global conflict in history. His personal photographs, documents and wartime diary illustrate the many joys and hardships of this one individual and his family. They speak to us through time; they tell his compelling story.

Henry Oldenburg
Author: Marie Boas Hall
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191545317
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Henry Oldenburg, born in 1619 in Bremen, Germany, first came to England as a diplomat on a mission to see Oliver Cromwell. He stayed on in England and in 1662 became the Secretary of the Royal Society, and its best known member to the entire learned world of his time. Through his extensive correspondence, now published, he disseminated the Society's ideals and methods at home and abroad. He fostered and encouraged the talents of many scientists later to be far more famous than he, including Newton, Flamsteed, Malpighi, and Leeuwenhoek with whom, as with many others, he developed real friendship. He founded and edited the Philosophical Transactions, the world's oldest scientific journal. His career sheds new light on the intellectual world of his time, especially its scientific aspects, and on the development of the Royal Society; his private life expands our knowledge of social mobility, the urban society, and the religious views of his time.
