Black–Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894–1912 de Thomas S. Kuhn

Black–Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894–1912

Autor Thomas S. Kuhn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 1987
"A masterly assessment of the way the idea of quanta of radiation became part of 20th-century physics. . . . The book not only deals with a topic of importance and interest to all scientists, but is also a polished literary work, described (accurately) by one of its original reviewers as a scientific detective story."—John Gribbin, New Scientist

"Every scientist should have this book."—Paul Davies, New Scientist
