The kings of India, however, as Thomas R. Trautmann shows in this study, found a use for elephants that actually helped preserve their habitat and numbers in the wild: war.

While Maxwell responded to and relied on the work of his colleagues, his interpretations often placed his work apart from theirs, to be exploited by later generations of physicists.

In this book, Peter Achinstein proposes and defends several objective concepts of evidence.

This 1931 book is comprised of ten essays dealing with various aspects of James Clerk Maxwell's life and achievements.

Bruce J. Hunt examines the joint work of a group of young British physicists--G. F. FitzGerald, Oliver Heaviside, and Oliver Lodge--along with a key German contributor, Heinrich Hertz.

Published in 1855, this book laid the foundation for his later development of Maxwell's equations, which revolutionized the field of electromagnetism. The ideas presented in this work continue to influence the study of physics to this day.

The great physicist's elegant, concise survey of Newtonian dynamics proceeds gradually from simple particles of matter to physical systems beyond complete analysis.
