This book is for physicists, historians and philosophers of physics as well as students seeking an introduction to ongoing debates in relativistic and quantum physics. This title covers the recent debates on the emergence of relativity and quantum theory. It includes chapters with an introductory character, comprehensible to students and science teachers. It strengthens the bonds between the communities of scientists, historians, and philosophers.
This is the first book that addresses the issue of research notes for writing history of science in a comprehensive manner. Its case studies range from the early modern period to present and cover a broad range of different disciplines. The contributions are based on papers presented at the workshop entitled "Reworking the Bench: Laboratory Notebooks in the History of Science," held at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin or written after the workshop.
Research records composed of notes and protocols have long played a
role in the efforts to understand the origins of what have come to
be seen as the established milestones in the development of modern
science. The use of research records to probe the nature of
scientific investigation itself however is a recent development in
the history of science.

In 1905, Einstein's Annus Mirabilis, Albert Einstein made three
discoveries concerning the foundations of nature which form the
basis of his fame as a physicist. These revolutionary papers on the
light-quantum hypothesis, Brownian motion, and special relativity,
were published in the journal "Annalen der Physik." All three are
now established as pillars of modern science and its applications
in technology and are an indispensable part of the modern world.
