The New Physics and Its Evolution
by Lucien Poincare
Publisher: D. Appleton and Company 1909
ISBN/ASIN: B002LC1P22
Description:
This book, while avoiding too great insistence on purely technical details, tries to make known the general results at which physicists have lately arrived, and indicates the direction and import which should be ascribed to those speculations on the constitution of matter, and the discussions on the nature of first principles, to which it has become the fashion of the present day to devote oneself.
