Despite the rapidly expanding ambit of physical research and the
continual appearance of new branches of physics, the main thrust in
its development has been the attempt at a theoretical synthesis of
the entire body of physical knowledge. Vladimir Vizgin's work
presents perhaps the first systematic historico-scientific study of
the formation and development of the unified field theories in the
general context of 20th century physics. Concentrating on the first
three decades of the century and drawing extensively on Russian
sources, the author analyses the first successes, failures and
paths of further development of the unified field theories. He
presents the evolution of these theories as a process of
interaction/competition between the geometric field and quantum
research programs, and ascertains the relevance of these theories
for fundamental concepts in modern field theory.
