| Title | Einstein's physics: Atoms, Quanta, and Relativity Derived, Explained, and Appraised |
| Author(s) | Ta-Pei Cheng |
| Publication | Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2013. |
| Description | xx, 350p. |
| Abstract Note | This is a physics book with material presented in the historical context. We do not stop at Einstein's discovery, but carry the discussion onto some of the later advances: Bell's theorem, quantum field theory, gauge theories and Kaluza-Klein unification in a spacetime with an extra spatial dimension.
Accessibility of the material to a modern-day reader is the goal of our presentation. Although the book is written with primarily a physics readership in mind (it can also function as a textbook), enough pedagogical support material is provided that anyone with a solid background in introductory physics can, with some effort, understand a good part of this presentation. |

| 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. |
