Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg explains the foundations of modern physics in historical context for undergraduates and beyond.

Recenzje

'Whereas many textbooks forgo historical notes, Weinberg delights the reader by adding terse yet apt context to the physical concepts he introduces … It is as if he is imagining what students might be puzzled by and then solves those problems … everyone will want to have Foundations of Modern Physics on their bookshelf. There is always something new to be found in it, and - similar to having a conversation about physics with Weinberg - there is never a dull moment when reading it.' Melissa Franklin, Physics Today
