The Concept of Matter: A Journey from Antiquity to Quantum Physics (History of Physics)

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the journey of scientific research that led to our current understanding of matter, from ancient Greece to modern quantum physics.

It covers three parts, each detailing a phase of this journey, including the development of a classical conception of matter, the construction of the old quantum theory, and the formation of the modern conception of matter based on quantum mechanics.

The book offers a clear picture of how we arrived at our current understanding of matter and is aimed at anyone interested in learning about the history of scientific research.
