A Student's Guide Through the Great Physics Texts Volume IV: Heat, Atoms and Quanta /

This book provides a chronological introduction to modern atomic theory, which represented an attempt to reconcile the ancient doctrine of atomism with careful experiments-performed during the 19th century-on the flow of heat through substances and across empty space. Included herein are selections...
