Walther Nernst and the Transition to Modern Physical Science

Review of the hardback: 'This insightful book guides the reader through the most successful but also contradictory development of the beginning of the 20th century.' Hermann Berg, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry Review of the hardback: 'A beautifully written and thoroughly researched book.' Bretislav Friedrich, Angewandte Chemie Review of the hardback: '... an impressive reconstruction of Nernst's intellectual journey ... Barkan's book makes notable contributions in the history of physical chemistry ... Barkan's study ... deserves much attention from historians of physics, especially those who are interested in the early years of quantum theory ... a rich narrative that allows a glimpse of numerous scientists and various places in Nernst's time.' Annals of Science Review of the hardback: '... a valuable and interesting book.' Ambix
