		Pais earned his M. degree in theoretical physics in 1940, and a year later, in 1941, Pais completed his doctoral dissertation, and was awarded the Ph.
		Pais was the third individual to be named to a professorship at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton.

	Books \| Obituary: Abraham Pais
		The physicist Abraham Pais, who has died aged 82, was one of a generation whose research transformed the face of science in the 1950s and 1960s, and provided a key to understanding the intimate structure of the universe.
		Pais probably received most plaudits for his study of the life and science of Albert Einstein, Subtle Is The Lord (1982), which remains a masterpiece among the portraits of the architect of relativity theory.
		Pais collaborated with Gell-Mann in 1955 to suggest that what seemed to be a single particle could actually be a sort of superposition of two different particles, each with a different lifetime and decay mode.

	Oxford University Press: J. Robert Oppenheimer: Abraham Pais
		The late Abraham Pais, author of the award winning biography of Albert Einstein, Subtle is the Lord, here offers an illuminating portrait of another of his eminent colleagues, J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the most charismatic and enigmatic figures of modern physics.
		Pais introduces us to a precocious youth who sped through Harvard in three years, made signal contributions to quantum mechanics while in his twenties, and was instrumental in the growth of American physics in the decade before the Second World War, almost single-handedly bringing it to a state of prominence.
		Abraham Pais was Detlev W. Bronk Professor Emeritus at The Rockefeller University in New York City.

	Einstein Lived Here Review - Abraham Pais (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Pais opens the volume with a sympathetic, but frank, discussion of Einstein as husband and father.
		Written in response to recently acquired knowledge that Einstein had an illegitimate daughter, whose fate is unknown, and recent claims regarding the role of Einstein’s first wife in the development of relativity theory, Pais’s account provides an accurate summary of current knowledge for the nonspecialist.
		Taking a generally chronological approach, Pais combines quotations from and paraphrases of press accounts of Einstein with reports of Einstein’s speeches, letters to the editor, and other Einstein contributions to the press.

		The horrors of the later stages of the occupation claimed his sister Annie, but Bram survived by hiding with the help of a friend, Tina Strobos.
		But the quantum mechanical arguments of Pais and Gell-Mann were absolutely compelling and essentially correct.
		They did not know at the time that some of the symmetries they used in their analysis were only approximate, but that did not invalidate their astonishing conclusion.

		Pais, who was born in 1919 in Amsterdam, died Friday in Copenhagen of heart failure, colleagues at the University of Copenhagen's Niels Bohr Institute said.
		Pais helped build the conceptual foundations of the modern theory of elementary particles when he was a professor at Princeton University in New Jersey, and he worked with such physics luminaries as Bohr and Albert Einstein.
		Pais also wrote a biography on Niels Bohr, the Dane who was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for nuclear research in 1922.

	J. Robert Oppenheimer; A Life :Abraham Pais; Robert P. Crease:0195166736:eCampus.com
		Pais introduces us to a precocious youth who sped through Harvard in three years, made signal contributions to quantum mechanics while in his twenties, and was instrumental in the growth of American physics in the decade before the Second World War, almost single-handedly putting American physics on the map.
		Pais paints a revealing portrait of Oppenheimer's life in Los Alamos, where in twenty remarkable, feverish months, under his inspired leadership, the first atomic bomb was designed and built, a success that made Oppenheimer America's most famous scientist.
		Pais, who was his next-door neighbor for many years, describes Oppenheimer's long tenure as Director of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, but also shows how Oppenheimer's intensity and arrogance won him powerful enemies, who would ultimately make him one of the principal victims of the Red Scare of the 1950s.

	Oxford University Press: Inward Bound: Abraham Pais
		Abraham Pais' 'Subtle is the Lord...' --the award-winning biography of Albert Einstein--received high acclaim from The New York Times Book Review which hailed it as "a monument to sound scholarship and graceful style," and from The Christian Science Monitor which called it "an extraordinary biography of an extraordinary man."
		In his groundbreaking new book, Pais chronicles the history of the physics of matter and physical forces since the discovery of x-rays.
		Personally involved in many of the developments described, Pais provides unique insights into the world of big and small physics, revealing how the smallest distances explored between 1895 and 1983 have shrunk a hundred millionfold.

		Abraham Pais describes Dirac's character and his approach to his work.
		Pais was not only a contemporary physicist, but also a close friend and as close to a confidant as was possible with such a reticent man.
		Through Pais' eyes, we see a mathematician turned physicist who was very different from the man to whom Dirac is most frequently compared, Albert Einstein.

		Pais does so in a series of thoughtful essays, including one on Einstein's illegitimate daughter and first marriage to a woman to whom he gives some credit for contributing to Einstein's relativity theory.
		While not discarding a rigorous historical approach, Pais priority is on Einstein human dimension, and gives us a fluent and very agreeable text in which he deals with polemic questions, as the supposed involvement of Einstein in the American atomic bomb fabrication.
		For Pais, "Einstein, creator of some of the best science of all time, is himself a creation of the media in so far as he is and remains a public figure".

		Author Abraham Pais, an eminent American theoretical physicist and professor at Rockefeller University, has written acclaimed biographies of Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, two of the greatest scientists of the 20th century.
		Pais was acquainted with many of the people he writes about, and he often appears in the book as a shadowy figure in the background.
		Pais wants to bring life back to these people, but not in any salacious way; he admits to having "never been interested in entering others' bedrooms." If you want psycho-biography or scandal, you will not find it here.

		Pais offers an informal, almost kaleidoscopic portrait of Einstein, from his troubled marriages and neglected children to his thoughts on religion, philosophy and politics.
		Pais is a renowned physicist and was a close friend of Einstein's, so this densely detailed scientific biography of Einstein requires some prior experience in physics or mathematics.
		Pais gives the reader a privileged front-row seat to the most thrilling times in theoretical physics, when relativity was a new theory and the enormous implications, both good and evil, were just becoming apparent to the scientific community and the public alike.

	AbeBooks: Suchergebnisse - Abraham Pais und Niels Bohr
		Now Pais turns to Niels Bohr, to illuminate the life and thought of another giant of 20th-century physics.
		Pais covers all of these achievements with sophistication and clarity, but he also reveals the many other facets of the man. Perhaps most important, he shows that Bohr was not only a great scientist, but also a great nurturer of young scientific talent, acting as father figure extraordinaire for several generations of physicists.
		Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics, which he founded in Copenhagen and for which he tirelessly raised funds, was the world's leading center for physics all through the 1920s and 1930s, the birthplace of Heisenberg's papers on the uncertainty relations, Dirac's first paper on quantum electrodynamics, and other pivotal works.

		Pais, a former physics professor who first met his subject in 1946, is a diligent biographer who captures Bohr and his era with the intensity of a devoted protege.
		Abraham Pais, the biographer of Einstein, traces Bohr's progress from his well-to-do origins in late 19th-century Denmark to his central position on the world political scene, particularly because of the development of nuclear weapons during World War II.
		Bohr was one of the great enabling figures in modern science, not only because of his direct involvement in the application of quantum theory to our understanding of the structure of the atom, but also because he gathered around him in Copenhagen most of the brightest young minds of the period.
