Synopsis

Atoms is a book written by Jean Perrin and published in 1916. It is a comprehensive study of the structure and behavior of atoms, a topic that was still in its early stages of development at the time. Perrin was a French physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1926 for his work on the Brownian motion of particles, which is discussed in this book. The book covers a range of topics related to atoms, including their properties, the nature of atomic particles, and the ways in which they interact with each other. It also delves into the history of atomic theory, from the ancient Greeks to the modern era, and discusses the work of some of the most influential scientists in the field, such as Dalton, Thomson, and Rutherford. One of the main themes of the book is the concept of the atomic nucleus, which was a relatively new idea at the time. Perrin describes how the nucleus is the central part of the atom, containing most of its mass and positively charged particles, and how it is surrounded by negatively charged electrons. He also discusses the different types of atomic nuclei, such as isotopes and radioactive elements, and their properties. Overall, Atoms is a seminal work in the field of atomic physics, providing a detailed and insightful look at the fundamental building blocks of matter. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and science of atomic theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
