add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "The Evolution of Physics," by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld. Within these restrictions, and because of them, the present volume attains an intellectual scope far greater than might be expected from the small number of its pages. It presents a lucid exposition of the basic features of Newtonian mechanics, James Clerk Maxwell's field theory, relativity, and quantum physics. It explains the theoretical and experimental rises which have led to fundamental reconstructions in physical theory. Finally it offers some methodological comments on verification, conventions, hypotheses, and related topics.
