Putting physics into the historical context of the Industrial
Revolution and the European nation-state, Purrington traces the
main figures, including Faraday, Maxwell, Kelvin, and Helmholtz, as
well as their interactions, experiments, discoveries, and debates.
The success of nineteenth-century physics laid the foundation for
quantum theory and relativity in the twentieth. Robert D.
Purrington is a professor of physics at Tulane University and
coauthor of Frame of the Universe.
