"Intriguing and well-written. . . . Too Big for a Single Mind cleverly interweaves the stories of the leading early 20th-century physicists with the political and personal events that shaped their lives. . . . Hürter's formidable grasp of the great period of quantum discovery represents a new, exciting approach to the literature about this momentous era.-- "The Wall Street Journal"
