{"product_id":"maxwells-enduring-legacy-malcolm-longair-9781107083691","title":"Maxwell's Enduring Legacy: A Scientific History of the Cavendish Laboratory","description":"The Cavendish Laboratory is arguably the most famous physics laboratory in the world. Founded in 1874, it rapidly gained a leading international reputation through the researches of the Cavendish professors beginning with Maxwell, Rayleigh, J. J. Thomson, Rutherford and Bragg. Its name will always be associated with the discoveries of the electron, the neutron, the structure of the DNA molecule and pulsars, but these are simply the tip of the iceberg of outstanding science. The physics carried out in the laboratory is the central theme of the book and this is explained in reasonably non-technical terms. The research activities are set in their international context. Generously illustrated, with many pictures of the apparatus used and diagrams from the original papers, the story is brought right up to date with descriptions of the science carried out under the leadership of the very different personalities of Mott, Pippard and Edwards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Longair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107083699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107083691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.07h x 7.58w x 1.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2017","brand":"Malcolm Longair","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991872569599,"sku":"9781107083691","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_920e137c-0a3c-48bd-98fd-02a3211b488b.jpg?v=1683312726","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maxwells-enduring-legacy-malcolm-longair-9781107083691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
