" Werner Heisenberg at 21 had distinguished himself by studies on the Zeeman effect (splitting of spectrum lines when light comes from an electromagnetic field...
Dwelling on an English Parnassus which has a traditionally bucolic landscape, Authors Warner & Ackland have a modern liking for slow, casual rhythms, unobtrusive rhymes, which make their precise metaphors seem more surprising by contrast. They have the acute feeling for country sights & sounds at which Anglo-Saxon poets are supposed to excel: for them the air often seems
