Physics: a short history from quintessence to quarks

ISBN: 9780198746850 出版年：2015 页码：246 Heilbron, John L Oxford University Press

How does the physics we know today - a highly professionalised enterprise, inextricably linked to government and industry - link back to its origins as a liberal art in Ancient Greece? John Heilbron's crisp and witty book tells the 2500-year story and highlights the implications for humankind's self-understanding.
