Product Details
- A masterly assessment of the way the idea of quanta of radiation became part of 20th-century physics. . . . The book not only deals with a topic of importance and interest to all scientists, but is also a polished literary work, described (accurately) by one of its original reviewers as a scientific detective story.—John Gribbin, New Scientist Every scientist should have this book.—Paul Davies, New Scientist

Quantum Theory Editorial Review
"Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912" provides a detailed account of Max Planck's contribution to the understanding of black-body radiation and the development of quantum theory. The author, Thomas Kuhn, dispels some of the misconceptions surrounding Planck's work and explains how he developed his law from applying Boltzmann statistics. This book is recommended for physicists or physical chemists looking to gain a deeper understanding of physics and physical chemistry at the turn of the 20th century. However, the book requires familiarity with thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, and a strong physics or physical chemistry background, so it may be difficult for casual readers to follow.
