Moving  on to the beginning of the twentieth century, a set of three articles  on Albert Einstein deal with his early career and various influences  on his work. Finally, a set of historiographical issues important for  the history of physics are discussed, and the chronological conclusion  of the volume is an article on the Solvay Conference of 1933. \u003cbr\u003e  For physicists interested in the history of their discipline,  historians and philosophers of science, and graduate students in these  and related disciplines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792331957\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0217-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 223cm x152cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 382\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378523955340,"sku":"9780792331957","price":89.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792331957.jpg?v=1771508993","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792331957","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
