Abstract

Explores the confusion among physicists at the beginning of the 20th century when experimental findings kept not fitting into their mechanical view of the universe, the theoretical speculations and experimental innovations they responded with, and the new science that emerged. The mathematical details are set apart in boxes to allow nontechnical readers to engage the flow of the narrative uninterrupted. Paper edition (unseen), $29.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
