| Summary: | This booklet is concerned with the last half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century when a great surge of knowledge vital to atomic science took place, as illustrated by work by Faraday, Mendeleev, Roentgen, Becquerel and the Curies. Each succeeding discovery brought atomic science closer to the great breakthrough that marked the close of classical physics: Max Planck's quantum theory. Work by Einstein, Rutherford, and Hahn propelled atomic science toward the unleashing of nuclear energy. The lives and work of 26 individuals who contributed to the explosion of knowledge in atomic science are described. (Author/TS) |
