Men Who Made a New Physics: Physicists and the Quantum TheoryUniversity of Chicago Press, 15 juin 1987 - 274 pages Cline recounts the development of quantum theory, capturing the atmosphere of argument and discovery among physicists in the 1920s. She explores the backgrounds of the major figures—Rutherford, Bohr, Planck, Einstein—separately, but draws them together as they begin to consider each other's questions about the nature of matter. |
