The first article in this volume, by Tetu Hirosige, is a definitive
study of the genesis of Einstein's theory of relativity. Other
articles treat topics--theoretical, experimental, philosophical,
and institutional--in the history of physics and chemistry from the
researches of Laplace and Lavoisier in the eighteenth century to
those of Dirac and Jordan in the twentieth century. Contents: The
Ether Problem, the Mechanistic World View, and the Origins of the
Theory of Relativity (Tetu Hirosige); Kinstein's Early Scientific
Collaboration (Lewis Pyenson); Max Planck's Philosophy of Nature
and His Elaboration of the Special Theory of Relativity (Stanley
Goldberg); The Concept of Particle Creation before and after
Quantum Mechanics (Joan Brombery); Chemistry as a Branch of
Physics: Laplace's Collaboration with Lavoisier (Henry Guerlac);
Mayer's Concept of "Force": The "Axis" of a New Science of Physics
(P. M. Heimann); Debates over the Theory of Solution: A Study of
Dissent in Physical Chemistry in the English-Speaking World in the
Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries (R. G. A. Dolby); The
Rise of Physics Laboratories in Britain (Romualdas Sviedrys); The
Establishment of the Royal College of Chemistry: An Investigation
of the Social Context of Early-Victorian Chemistry (Gerrylynn K.
Roberts) Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library
