The Great Physicists From Galileo To Einstein (Hardcover)

Unlike many books on physics which focus entirely on fact and theory with little or no historic detail, this work incorporates fascinating personal and biographical data about the great physicists past and present. Each chapter is centered around a single great figure or, at most, two, with other physicists of the era and their contributions forming a background. 128 figures & 8 halftone plates. Index.
