UK Journalist Peter Watson is talking with DW about his book : The German Genius: Europes Third Renaissance, the Second Scientific Revolution, and the Twentieth Century.. Reflecting the last 250 years before 1933 and thus opening avenues for creating landing stripes for the future in 21st century ad beyond. The outstanding quality of this book is that it places scientific discoveries at the core of cultural history, linking them with dramatic technical and industrial developments. Watson sums up this process in the words of the historian Max Lenz: The intellectual life cannot be too highly valued. It provides the basis on which the strength of the state can eternally rest. The rise – and then the fall of the educated middle class forms the axis of this compendious volume. Watsons account of the rise assembles such a wealth of information, based on an impressive range of sources, that The German Genius will be an essential work of reference for years to come.
