Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Dr. Fritz Kahn (1888-1968), successfully explained complex natural and technical principles with original visual and textual analogies. Equally fascinated by both nature and technology, he described humans as the "highest performance machine in the world." The illustrations he had made are examples of pioneering information design. They are unmistakable and their contents are still relevant today. Kahn grew up in Halle (Germany), New York (USA) and Berlin and studied natural sciences before graduating as a doctor. The "Das Leben des Menschen" (The Life of Man) book series made him a bestselling author around the world. Persecuted by the Nazis, the Jewish intellectual emigrated to the USA with the help of Albert Einstein, where he successfully published work on human sexuality. He spent the last years of his life in Switzerland and Denmark. Fritz Kahn Man Machine-Maschine Mensch gives the reader the first in-depth insight into the life and work of this all-round German-American writer and researcher.
