The time span taken into\u003cbr\u003e consideration goes mainly from the 1880s to the 1940s; but some brief\u003cbr\u003e notes on more recent results are also presented in the appendixes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The work is based on nearly 800 original documents - books, papers, letters, \u003cbr\u003e newspapers - whose content is not only partially reported, but also\u003cbr\u003e explained, and inserted in the historical, social and disciplinary context\u003cbr\u003e of the time. Together with a rigorous historical framework, the book\u003cbr\u003e offers also an educational discussion of the physical aspects presented.\u003cbr\u003e Indeed, there are some specific sections and subsections with pedagogical\u003cbr\u003e observations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is intended for students pursuing STEM degrees, particularly\u003cbr\u003e those seeking an understanding of the genesis and rationale behind quantum\u003cbr\u003e mechanics. But it is surely also addressed to professional physicists who\u003cbr\u003e are eager to reconsider the cultural foundations underlying the quantum\u003cbr\u003e view of the world. We are thus thinking of inquiring minds, people who\u003cbr\u003e teach quantum physics, and individuals involved in quantum technologies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marco Giliberti, Luisa Lovisetti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303157933X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031579332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.63d","brand":"Marco Giliberti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110884135167,"sku":"9783031579332","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1cb64679-f942-4df5-a09c-da37ad4fbbc5.jpg?v=1725470049","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/old-quantum-theory-and-early-marco-giliberti-9783031579332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
