5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for anyone interested in the history of science.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Physics in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
It usually scares the bleep out of me when a physicist attempts history. Purrington is a major exception. PHYSICS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY perfectly fills a void in the history of physics, and the intellectual growth of America and Europe. It's a compulsive read-read it straight through without putting it down once. I know of no better book dealing with the intellectual 'threads' of the growth of physics. Purringtons' writing is clear, crisp, and to the point. A good book has exactly the right number of words. This book has exactly the right number.

A good read.,
This review is from: Physics in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
The book is a good read, and fairly to even a novice. It is fairly clear that Purrington wrote it, I could hear his voice and mannerisms dripping off of every page. Would recommend.
