Summarising the most novel facts and theories which were coming
into prominence at the time, particularly those which had not yet
been incorporated into standard textbooks, this important work was
first published in 1921. The subjects treated cover a wide range of
research that was being conducted into the atom, and include
Quantum Theory, the Bohr Theory, the Sommerfield extension of
Bohr's work, the Octet Theory and Isotopes, as well as Ionisation
Potentials and Solar Phenomena. Because much of the material of
Atomic Theories lies on the boundary between experimentally
verified fact and speculative theory, it indicates in a unique way
how the future of physics was perceived at the time of writing. It
thus throws into stark relief not only the immense advances made
since the 1920s, but also, perhaps, highlights the importance of
not rigidly adhering to a particular program of future discoveries.
