Beyond the Mechanical Universe: From Electricity to Modern Physics
Richard P. Olenick
This 1987 book studies electricity and magnetism, their relation to each other, and to light, and shows how the problem of light led to the special theory of relativity. It moves to modern physics, where particles may behave like waves and vice versa and where some of the great verities of Newtonian physics appear less certain.
