The major themes of physics are placed in a quasi-chronological fashion."Twentieth Century Physics" is a major historical study of the scientific and cultural development of physics in the twentieth century. This unique three volume work offers a scholarly but highly readable overview of the development of physics, addressing both the cultural and the scientific aspects of the discipline. The major themes of physics are placed within the three volumes in a quasi-chronological fashion. Subjects that developed in the early part of the century are covered in volume one and more recent subjects in volumes two and three. In each case, the development of the theme in question is traced from its inception to the present day. The list of contributors includes Nobel laureates, Fellows of the Royal Society, and other physicists of world renown writing historically oriented descriptions of the development of individual subjects. Where appropriate, specialists in the history of physics have written their own commentaries, thereby providing a valuable counterpoint to the physicists' perspectives. |
