The time span taken into\u003cbr\u003e\nconsideration goes mainly from the 1880s to the 1940s; but some brief\u003cbr\u003e\nnotes on more recent results are also presented in the appendixes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe work is based on nearly 800 original documents – books, papers, letters,\u003cbr\u003e\nnewspapers – whose content is not only partially reported, but also\u003cbr\u003e\nexplained, and inserted in the historical, social and disciplinary context\u003cbr\u003e\nof the time. Together with a rigorous historical framework, the book\u003cbr\u003e\noffers also an educational discussion of the physical aspects presented.\u003cbr\u003e\nIndeed, there are some specific sections and subsections with pedagogical\u003cbr\u003e\nobservations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book is intended for students pursuing STEM degrees, particularly\u003cbr\u003e\nthose seeking an understanding of the genesis and rationale behind quantum\u003cbr\u003e\nmechanics. But it is surely also addressed to professional physicists who\u003cbr\u003e\nare eager to reconsider the cultural foundations underlying the quantum\u003cbr\u003e\nview of the world. We are thus thinking of inquiring minds, people who\u003cbr\u003e\nteach quantum physics, and individuals involved in quantum technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-06-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031579363\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-57934-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 750\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309701034124,"sku":"9783031579363","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031579363.jpg?v=1774535253","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031579363","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
