Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. xi, 201 pp; 4 plates. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. 'Begins with an account of late 19th-century debates, especially in France, between those who maintained the physical reality of atoms and molecules, and 'energeticists' and others who regarded them as mere mental constructs or worse. Perrin's work in the early years of the 20th century on Brownian motion and related topics is then discussed in detail, this being seen as part of a conscious (and successful) attempt to provide direct empirical support for the molecular theory' (Home, The History of Classical Physics: A Selected, Annotated Bibliography, no. 1074).
