The 250 years from the second half of the 17th century saw the
birth of modern physics and its growth into one of the most
successful of the sciences. The reader will find here the lives of
55 of the most remarkable physicists from that era described in
brief biographies. All the characters profiled have made important
contributions to physics, either through their ideas, through their
teaching or in other ways. The emphasis is on their varied
life-stories, not on the details of their achievements, but when
read in sequence the biographies, which are organised
chronologically, convey in human terms something of the way in
which physics was created. Scientific and mathematical detail is
kept to a minimum, so the reader who is interested in physics, but
perhaps lacks the background to follow technical accounts, will
find this collection an inviting and easy path through the
subject's modern development.
