This book offers a fresh perspective on some of the central
experimental and theoretical works that laid the foundations for
today's quantum mechanics: It traces the theoretical and
mathematical development of the hypotheses that put forward to
explain puzzling experimental results; it also examines their
interconnections and how they together evolved into modern quantum
theory. Particular attention is paid to J.J. Thomson's atomic
modeling and experiments at the Cavendish Laboratory, Max Planck's
struggle to explain the experimental results of Heinrich Rubens and
Ferdinand Kurlbaum, as well as the path leading from Louis de
Broglie's ideas to the wave theory of Erwin Schroedinger. Combining
his experience in teaching quantum mechanics with his interest in
the historical roots of the subject, the author has created a
valuable resource for understanding quantum physics through its
history, and a book that is appreciated both by working physicists
and historians.
