Title: The history of quantum theory ...
Product review: In my opinion, the great merit of this book is to show physics as a human adventure, with wins, frustation, surprises, excitement, healthy concorrence among scientists. Gamow is very good in this aspect, as we can see by his other books. Besides, it relives by far the most interesting and exciting age of physics. This history of the quantum theory is very well written, showing how each theoretical development gives the reasons and motivation for the following, how the matter started with the solution Planck has given to his problem, leading to the later formulations and great discoveries of Weisenberg, Schrodinger, Bohr... Very interesting and pleasant to read.
