Riassunto

The third volume in the Science in the Making series covers advancements in physics as originally shown in the pages of the Philosophical Magazine between the years 1900-1950. Including not only classic works by eminent scientists of the day, this beautifully produced volume also includes papers of an amusing and controversial nature, reflecting the era. Papers are reproduced in their original form and are preceded by informative commentaries setting the papers on the context of their time. It includes plates of historic apparatus and portraits of celebrated scientists.
The period of 1900 to 1950 was one of unparalleled advances in physics, with such major events as the discovery of the cause and nature of radioactivity, the application of thermionic emission in vacuum valves, determination of the mass spectra of chemical elements, the structure of the atom, and the artificial disintegration of elements. Science in the Making Volume Three views the contribution to scientific advancement during this period of Rutherford, Soddy, Millikin, JJ Thomson, Bohr, Moseley, Planck, Geiger, Bragg, Compton and de Broglie amongst others.
