DESCRIPTION:
Farzad Faramarzi said Five Stars. Fantastic book. The development of the Quantum Theory and its contrast to relativity are explored. Jamie L. Walters This book outlines the personalities of the major figures of physics, Rutherford, Bohr, Plank, Einstein, Schrodinger, Dirac, Born, etc. while explaining the development of quantum theory. The book also talks about relativity and compares it to quantum theory; that is, . "Early 20th Century Physics and Physicists" according to Ralph M.Cox. The period from the late 1800's through the mid-1900's was a period of dramatic change in physics, from "there is little more to discover" to the (still-continuing) search for a grand unification theory. The author does a superb job of telling the story of the people a
From the Back Cover In a lively style accessible to students and general readers, Cline traces the development of the quantum theory, capturing the atmosphere of argument and discovery among atomic physicists in the 1920s. . She explores the backgrounds of the major figures-- Rutherford, Bohr, Planck, Einstein--separately, but draws them together as they began to consider each other's questions about he nature of matter
