The great transition from Newtonian physics to the physics of today forms
one of the most important chapters in the annals of scientific progress. Climaxing with Plank’s and Einstein’s landmark contributions, this immense expansion of knowledge is examined
and explained by an author unsurpassed in writing for the non expert.
In Light, Magnetism and Electricity, Isaac Asimov succeeds in making superbly clear the essential foundation of understanding the science that plays so paramount a role in the shaping of our world.
