Abstract

Paris: Gauthier-Villars 1973 pp xxxvii + 387 price F 160 On 18 October 1972, the Institut de France held a celebratory seminar to mark the occasion of the 80th birthday of that grand master of wave mechanics, Louis de Broglie. Pertinently perhaps the occasion also extended itself to a jubilee reflection on the subject.

By L. de Broglie, translated by Martin Davidson. (London : Hutchinson's Scientific and Technical Publications.) Pp. 286. Price 21s. No physicist needs to be reminded that, in the decade when the ambiguity of the electron became critical through the experiments on diffraction, Louis de Broglie was the pioneer in developing the solution which we now call wave-mechanics. History therefore demands that products of his mature thought about the nature of physics should be read with respect.

W C Price et al (eds) London: Butterworths 1973 pp 435 price £12 Apart from claiming ruefully that the title of this book is ambiguous I can only praise it. The ambiguity led me to expect a history of the subject since the time of de Broglie's breakthrough: instead our £12 buys a collection of reviews of the state of the art in different fields.
