'In this groundbreaking new volume, Pais undertakes a history of the physics of matter and of physical forces since the discovery of X-rays. 'The history of "modern" physics has been told many times, although seldom with such insight and affection.' Times Higher Education Supplement. In addition, his insight into the personalities of the actors in the story is remarkable. 'Pais's mastery of the whole field of elementary particle physics is manifest on every page. It is a work of real scholarship.' New Scientist. 'a learned and detailed commentary on what has been discovered about the constituents of matter, the laws to which they are subject, and the forces which act on them. 'It is rare indeed to find a professional physicist who combines such historical accomplishment, a lucid and refreshing style and a deep and relaxed understanding of his subject matter.Throughout, he provides shrewd and illuminating comments on experimental practice and theory construction and on current theories in the philosophy of scientific discovery.' Times Literary Supplement. Oxford Research Encyclopedias: Global Public Health.The European Society of Cardiology Series. Oxford Commentaries on International Law.
