Quantum Generations: A History of Physics in the Twentieth Century Paperback - 2002
by Helge Kragh
First line
THE PHILOSOPHER and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead once referred to the last quarter of the nineteenth century as "an age of successful scientific orthodoxy, undisputed by much though beyond the conventions.
From the rear cover
"Helge Kragh's book is a magnificent achievement. It is a rich, erudite history of physics from the end of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth that is also informative and insightful about social, cultural, political, and institutional contexts. Kragh has included developments at the physics-applied physics-technology interface and has thus given an unusually comprehensive and balanced account of twentieth-century physics. What is equally impressive is that the book is readily accessible to the general reader and will also be valued by scientists and historians."--S.S. Schweber, author of QED and the Men Who Made It: Dyson, Feynman, Schwinger, and Tomonaga
"This book will come to be seen as an indispensable reference for those who seek a full understanding of its topic--which, of course, is one of the most important topics in modern history."--Spencer R. Weart, American Institute of Physics
"Kragh has succeeded in presenting an engaging and comprehensive history of the development of physics in this century, one that will be accessible to a wide audience. This book will surely become a standard reference for students of twentieth-century science."--Ronald Anderson, Boston College
