The Cavendish Laboratory is arguably the most famous physics
laboratory in the world. Founded in 1874, it rapidly gained a
leading international reputation through the researches of the
Cavendish professors beginning with Maxwell, Rayleigh, J. J.
Thomson, Rutherford and Bragg. Its name will always be associated
with the discoveries of the electron, the neutron, the structure of
the DNA molecule and pulsars, but these are simply the tip of the
iceberg of outstanding science. The physics carried out in the
laboratory is the central theme of the book and this is explained
in reasonably non-technical terms. The research activities are set
in their international context. Generously illustrated, with many
pictures of the apparatus used and diagrams from the original
papers, the story is brought right up to date with descriptions of
the science carried out under the leadership of the very different
personalities of Mott, Pippard and Edwards.
