- Abstract
The book "Revolutionaries in Interview. Thomas Kuhn, Quantum Physics, and Oral History" by Anke te Heesen examines the project of compiling a comprehensive collection of sources on the history of quantum physics. The project was launched in 1961 to preserve valuable memories of modern physics. Thomas S. Kuhn was entrusted with the leadership of the project, which had interviews with physicists as its centerpiece. The book describes the development of the research interview method and the challenges involved in compiling the sources. It also shows how Kuhn favored certain interviews that supported his idea of scientific revolutions.
