From Falling Bodies to Radio Waves: Classical Physicists and Their Discoveries,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Meet a diverse group of highly original thinkers and learn about their lives and achievements: Galileo, a founding father of astronomy and physics; Christiaan Huygens, a seventeenthcentury pioneer of waveparticle duality; and Isaac Newton, the English mathematician and physicist who laid the groundwork for a scientific revolution and promoted radical investigation as the means to reveal nature's hidden workings.This chronicle of physics and physicists traces the development of scientific thought from these originators to their successors, among them Faraday, Watts, Helmholtz, Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs. Combining his own engaging style with the physicists' original writings, the author illustrates the evolution of individual physical ideas, as well as their roles in the wider field.A student and colleague of Enrico Fermi, Emilio Segr (190589) made numerous important contributions to nuclear physics, including his participation in the Manhattan Project. A Nobel laureate, Segr is further renowned for his narrative skills as an historian. Hailed by the Journal of the History of Astronomy as "charming and witty," this book is a companion to the author's From XRays to Quarks: Modern Physicists and Their Discoveries, also available from Dover Publications.
