| Title | From Transuranic to Superheavy Elements : A Story of Dispute and Creation |
| Author(s) | Kragh, Helge |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | VIII, 106 p. 2 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The story of superheavy elements - those at the very end of the periodic table - is not well known outside the community of heavy-ion physicists and nuclear chemists. But it is a most interesting story which deserves to be known also to historians, philosophers, and sociologists of science and indeed to the general public. This is what the present work aims at. It tells the story or rather parts of the story, of how physicists and chemists created elements heavier than uranium or searched for them in nature. And it does so with an emphasis on the frequent discovery and naming disputes concerning the synthesis of very heavy elements. Moreover, it calls attention to the criteria which scientists have adopted for what it means to have discovered a new element. In this branch of modern science it may be more appropriate to speak of creation instead of discovery. The work will be of interest to scientists as well as to scholars studying modern science from a meta-perspective |

| Title | Controversy and Consensus: Nuclear Beta Decay 1911???1934 |
| Author(s) | Jensen, Carsten;Aaserud, Finn;Kragh, Helge;R??dinger, Erik;Stuewer, Roger H |
| Publication | Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2000. |
| Description | XVII, 217 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | To all four of us, Carsten was the best possible friend and colleague. To Finn, he was a fellow student in the history of science for several years at the Niels Bohr Institute; to Relge, he was a welcome resource for personal and intellectual interac?? tion in an otherwise less than fertile environment for the history of science; Roger was Carsten's friend and advisor, not least in the development of the dissertation on which the present book is based; and as director of the Niels Bohr Archive, Erik was his main advisor in his historical work. Because he was the person closest to Carsten's work on his Ph. D. dissertation on the history of beta decay, on which the present book is based, it is only fitting that Erik stands as single author of the words in Carsten's memory at the very beginning of this book. Before his untimely death shortly after the completion of the Ph. D. disser?? tation, Carsten had himself plans to develop the dissertation into a book. Being a true perfectionist, he wanted to rework the manuscript substantively, especially with regard to relating it to the broader discussion among historians of science |

| Title | The Moon that Wasn't : The Saga of Venus' Spurious Satellite |
| Author(s) | Kragh, Helge |
| Publication | Basel, 1. Birkh??user Basel
2. Imprint: Birkh??user, 2008. |
| Description | XII, 199 p. 33 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book details the history of one of astronomy???s many spurious objects, the satellite of Venus. First spotted in 1645, the non-existing moon was observed more than a dozen times until the late eighteenth century. Although few astronomers believed in the existence of the moon after about 1770, it continued to attract attention for at least another century. However, it has largely disappeared from the history of astronomy, and the rich historical sources have never been exploited. By telling the story of the enigmatic satellite in its proper historical context it is demonstrated that it was much more than a mere curiosity in the annals of astronomy ??? Frederick II of Prussia was familiar with it, and so was Bonnet, Kant and Voltaire. The satellite of Venus belongs to the same category as other fictitious celestial bodies (such as the planet Vulcan), yet it had its own life and fascinating historical trajectory. By following this trajectory, the history of planetary astronomy is addressed in a novel way |

| Title | Niels Bohr and quantum atom: The Bohr Model of Atomic Structure 1913 -1925 |
| Author(s) | Helge Kragh |
| Publication | Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2012. |
| Description | vi, 410p. |
| Abstract Note | he theory of atomic structure proposed by the young Danish physicist Niels Bohr in 1913 marked the true beginning of modern atomic and quantum physics. This is the first book that focuses in detail on the origin and development of this remarkable theory. It offers a comprehensive account of Bohr's ideas and the way they were modified by other physicists. By following the development and applications of the theory, it brings new insight into Bohr's peculiar way of thinking; what Einstein once called his 'musicality' and 'unique instinct and tact'. Contrary to most other accounts of the Bohr atom, the book presents it in a broader perspective, which includes the reception among other scientists, popular expositions of the theory, and the objections raised against it by scientists of a more conservative inclination. Moreover, it discusses the theory as Bohr originally conceived it, namely, as an ambitious attempt to understand the structure of atoms as well as molecules: the chemical aspects of the theory are given much attention. The book covers the successes as well as the failures of Bohr's theory, arguing that the latter were no less important in the process that led Bohr to abandon the original model and Heisenberg to propose a new 'quantum mechanics'. By discussing the theory in its entirety-following it from its birth in 1913, through its adolescence round 1918, to its decline in 1924-it becomes possible to understand its development and use it as an example of the dynamics of scientific theories. |
