This historical survey of the discovery of the electron has been
published to coincide with the centenary of the discovery. The text
maps the life and achievements of J.J. Thomson, with particular
focus on his ideas and experiments leading to the discovery. It
describes Thomson's early years and education. It then considers
his career at Cambridge, first as a fellow of Trinity, later as the
head of the Cavendish Laboratory and finally as Master of Trinity
and national spokesman for science. The core of the book is
concerned with the work undertaken at the Cavendish, culminating in
the discovery of "corpuscles," later named "electrons."; In the
final two chapters, the immediate aftermath and implications of the
work are described. These include the creation of the subject of
atomic physics as well as the broader long term developments which
can be traced from vacuum valves and the transistor through to the
microelectronics revolution.
