Emilio G. SegrèFirst published 19845 editions

A sequel to Segrè's *From X-rays to Quarks* this traces the development of scientific thought all the way from Galileo, Huygens and Newton up till the modern works of Maxwell, Boltzmann and Gibbs. Segrè illuminates not only the evolution and development of physical ideas and theories but also the lives of the numerous highly original and sometimes idiosyncratic thinkers behind them.
