Published in 1934 as a second edition to James Jeans' popular work
on the general understanding of the physical universe, The New
Background of Science took advantage of a comparatively 'quiescent'
period in physical investigation when fundamental theories and
findings gained wide acceptance. Jeans' aim in writing this book
was to depict this 'situation in broad outline and in the simplest
possible terms. I have drawn my picture against a roughly sketched
background of rudimentary philosophy... because I believe, in
common with most scientific workers, that without a background of
this kind we can neither see our fresh knowledge as a consistent
whole, nor appreciate its significance to the full.'
