Pais, Abraham. Niels Bohr s Times. Oxford Oxford University Press, 1991. Some of the technical discussions in this magisterial book might be daunting to the lay reader. However, it contains the best and most comprehensive account of Bohr s life. The reader who skips the technical material and reads only the narrative is likely to be richly rewarded.

Einstein left his violin to his only surviving grandson, Bernhard Caesar. Einstein s friend Abraham Pais received Einstein s last (smoking) pipe. The pipe s head is made of clay.

Abraham Pais was a theoretical physicist and scientific historian, who died in 2000 at the age of 81. Pais worked with luminaries such as Einstein, Oppenheimer, Dirac, and Feynman. His best-known work was a biography of Einstein, Subtle Is the Lord The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein, which was published in 1982 and won the 1983 American Book Award. Now that Pais is gone, I have lost track of Einstein s pipe. 

Juoted in Abraham Pais, Inward Bound (Oxford Oxford University Press, 1986), p. 179. Thomson s number of 1,000 electrons was possibly prompted by his 1897 data, which showed that the mk ratio for hydrogen is 1,000 times greater than the mk ratio for the electron.
