In it, the noted physicist Max Jammer presents a challenging study of the historical development of the concept of mass, a labor that earned him a monograph prize from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.\u003cbr\u003eA rigorous, concise, and provocative book that can be recommended to all serious readers and physicists interested in the foundations of physical science, this volume offers thorough critical and analytical treatment of such topics as the ancient concept of mass; the neoplatonic notion of inertia; the conceptualization of inertial mass; philosophical modifications of the Newtonian concept; the modern concept of mass; mass and energy; the concept of mass in quantum mechanics and field theory; and much more.\u003cbr\u003eGraduate students in physics should find this book a unique introduction to a very vexing problem in their chosen field, even though it is one of the most highly developed scientific disciplines. -- \u003ci\u003eAmerican Scientist. \u003c\/i\u003e1964 edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Jammer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486299988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486299983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.40w x 0.49d","brand":"Max Jammer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919909716223,"sku":"9780486299983","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_52488359-e5cc-414d-810b-e3907a289be6.jpg?v=1680812582","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/concepts-of-mass-in-classical-max-jammer-9780486299983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
