| Title | Physics book: From the Big Bang to Quantum Resurrection, 250 Milestones in the History of Physics |
| Author(s) | Clifford A. Pickover |
| Publication | New York, Sterling, 2011. |
| Description | 528p. |
| Abstract Note | Following the hugely successful The Science Book and The Math Book comes a richly illustrated chronology of physics, containing 250 short, entertaining, and thought-provoking entries. In addition to exploring such engaging topics as dark energy, parallel universes, the Doppler effect, the God particle, and Maxwell's demon, the book's timeline extends back billions of years to the hypothetical Big Bang and forward trillions of years to a time of "quantum resurrection." Like the previous titles in this series, The Physics Book helps readers gain an understanding of major concepts without getting bogged down in complex details. |

| Title | Einstein's generation: Origins of the relativity revolution |
| Author(s) | Richard Staley |
| Publication | Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 2009. |
| Description | x, 494p. |
| Abstract Note | Why do we celebrate Einsteinâs era above all other epochs in the history of physics? Much of the history of physics at the beginning of the twentieth century has been written with a sharp focus on a few key figures and a handful of notable events. Einsteinâs Generation offers a distinctive new approach to the origins of modern physics by exploring both the material culture that stimulated relativity and the reaction of Einsteinâs colleagues to his pioneering work.
Richard Staley weaves together the diverse strands of experimental and theoretical physics, commercial instrument making, and the sociology of physics around 1900 to present the collective efforts of a group whose work helped set the stage for Einsteinâs revolutionary theories and the transition from classical to modern physics that followed. Collecting papers, talks, catalogues, conferences, and correspondence, Staley juxtaposes scientistsâ views of relativity at the time to modern accounts of its history. Einsteinâs Generation tells the story of a group of individuals which produced some of the most significant advances of the twentieth century; and challenges our celebration of Einsteinâs era above all others.

| Title | Growth of physical science |
| Author(s) | James Jeans |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1947. |
| Description | x,364p.;Index p.358 |
| Abstract Note | The Growth of Physical Science is a detailed but very accessible survey of what began as natural philosophy and culminated in the mid-twentieth century as quantum physical science. From the earliest physical investigations of nature made by the various civilisations of Babylonia, Phoenicia and Egypt (a period covering 5000-600 BC), through the remarkable mathematical and philosophical achievements of the ancient Greeks, to the ages of Newton and then Einstein, Rutherford and Bohr, Jeans has written a comprehensive history of this tremendous advancement in our understanding of the universe, one that will appeal to a broad range of readers interested in this subject. |
