Physics and Microphysics

Abstract

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.
