Description

A comprehensive two-volume survey of the theories of electricity and space (aether) from ancient Greek philosophers to modern physics. This single-volume edition brings together both "The Classical Theories" and "The Modern Theories", offering highly detailed accounts of the development of ideas in these fields. Volume I covers the classical theories, tracing their evolution from ancient Greece to the late 19th century, while Volume II chronicles the discoveries that led to the advances of modern physics, including special relativity, quantum theories, general relativity, matrix mechanics, and wave mechanics. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the history of electricity and its relationship to our understanding of space. With its accessible language and wealth of information, this single-volume edition is suitable for both general readers and those with a background in science or education.
