Reasons for recommendation
The 20th century was the century of physics, and physics made breakthroughs in the 20th century that changed the world and how people perceived it. This book was jointly organized by the British Physical Society and the American Physical Society, and was written by well-known scholars in various fields (many of whom are Nobel Prize winners), which is highly authoritative.
This book consists of 3 volumes, which systematically summarizes the progress of physics in the 20th century, covering all branches of physics, and is the only huge work in the field of physics. For both libraries and for all physicists, this book is of high collectibility.
Wonderful book reviews
Century of Science Brilliant Physics
Written by Liu Shuyong
When the end of the 20th century was approaching, physicists in Europe and the United States began to "liquidate" the development of physics over the past century. The "Physics of the 20th Century", jointly written by American and British physicists, is their attempt. They attempt to present the majestic picture of 20th-century physics in this three-volume tome, allowing readers to see a clear trajectory of the development of physics in the 20th century.
In the physics of the 20th century, relativity, quantum theory, and quantum mechanics were undoubtedly the most important achievements, and together with their creators Einstein and Bohr, and a group of young physicists known as the "Big Boys", they all became the most important figures. It is thanks to the birth and development of quantum mechanics that the 1920s and 1930s became the most brilliant era of physics, and the book's ink on this is undoubtedly the most intense. During this period, a group of rapidly growing young physicists (such as Heisenberg, Dirac, pauli, and others), together with Bohr, who was the "mentor" of these young people, made special contributions to quantum mechanics, such as the complementary uncertainty principle and the complementary principle.
There is also a wonderful chapter in the history of the famous Youth, that is, the theoretical confrontation between Bohr and Einstein. Their debate about "Did God Roll the Dice" is not limited to the scope of physics, but goes deep into the nature of the world and provokes a fierce and long-standing debate. This controversy has left a precious legacy for future generations and added an extremely important content to the history of physics. The author has worked very this part of the content, written the most brilliantly, and presents its sense of picture in the context of history.
Guess who they are?
Nils Bohr | James Frank
Albert Einstein | Isidore Isaac Rabbi
Roughly speaking, the content of the first and second volumes is the most important in the arrangement of the contents of the whole book, and the knowledge of relativity, quantum mechanics and various microscopic particles reflects the basic content of modern physics theory and experiment, and the content of the last two volumes is slightly unfamiliar to most readers, or the scope of knowledge involved in each chapter is narrower and more "professional". Of course, as a physicist, it is very beneficial to understand this professional and expansive knowledge, and some chapters even require some effort to read and read in depth.
The author of this book is also quite noteworthy, and among the three authors, Pais is the master of this "troika, one horse". Three of his books have been translated and published Chinese, namely Einstein, Niels Bohr, and History of Elementary Particle Physics, all of which are excellent and can be used as a must-have for physicists. These three books have had an important impact on the study of the history of the development of physics and the history of physics thought, and presumably this influence will be more profound and lasting over time.
Cambridge University in 1900
When I read it, I felt that the opening work of the whole book, "Physics in 1900", written by Sir Pipard, was quite distinctive, and it was quite touching to read. Pipard is Professor Cavendish of Cambridge (i.e. Director of Cavendish Laboratory) and is of course very familiar with the Cambridge situation. At the same time, he is also good at the research and teaching of physics, so the content of science teaching, especially the successful science education in Cambridge, Pipard made a brief introduction, which is of great significance to the reform of science education in China today and should be valued by the Fang family. From Pipard's comments, it can be seen that "Physics of 1900" contains both historically selected historical sources and his views or understandings of scientific education. This part of the content is extremely interesting for most readers, and what is even more eye-catching is the Cambridge "Honors Examination", which will have a different feeling compared to reading.
Judging from the content of the whole book, it should be said that the "clear trajectory" has been shown, but the "picture" is not "majestic" enough, which may be due to the "modesty" of the author, especially the three editors. The values or historical outlook they uphold can be reflected in the "Preface to the Original Book.". In short, although the formulas in the book are "numerous" (perhaps in terms of space savings), the wonderful content will greatly exceed the reader's expectations. This is perhaps what the three editors declared, and the reader must be "enchanted by the beauty of the 20th century's glorious physics."
