Product Description
Review
The book reads likes an engaging, well-planned lecture, with many a historical aside and opinionated excursion.
(Publishers Weekly )
A valuable and badly needed account that manages to be undogmatic, comprehensive and accessible. . . . I can strongly recommend this beautifully written and accessible book.
(Andrew Pinsent Physics World )
An interesting and stimulating mix of physics and philosophical issues. . .Jammer has produced a fascinating look into the nature of a quantity that most of us take for granted . . . and its also fun to read.
(ry R. Holstein, "American Scientist )
[Jammer's] contributions to the conceptual foundations of physics have been, and continue to be, both fruitful and enlightening.
