From falling bodies to radio waves: classical physicists and their discoveries
Mineola, N.Y.: Dover Publications (1984)
Abstract
Hailed by the Journal of the History of Astronomy as "charming and witty," this chronicle by a renowned physicist traces the development of scientific thought from the works of the "founding fathers" — Galileo, Huygens, and Newton — to the more recent discoveries of Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs. 1984 edition
