The historical development of quantum theory

Jagdish Mehra (Author), Helmut Rechenberg (Author)
Quantum Theory, together with the principles of special and general relativity, constitutes a scientific revolution that has profoundly influenced the way in which we think about the universe and the fundamental forces that govern it. This work presents an analysis of the creative scientific process.
