""A History Of The Theories Of Aether And Electricity: From The Age Of Descartes To The Close Of The Nineteenth Century"" is a comprehensive book written by E. T. Whittaker and first published in 1910. The book explores the history of the theories of aether and electricity, which were central to the development of modern physics. The book begins with a discussion of the early ideas about aether, a hypothetical substance that was believed to fill all space and transmit light and other forms of energy. The author traces the development of these ideas from the time of Descartes in the 17th century through the 19th century, when the concept of aether was finally abandoned in favor of new theories of electromagnetism.The book also covers the history of electricity, from the early experiments of Benjamin Franklin and Alessandro Volta to the work of Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell. The author explains how these scientists developed the laws of electricity and magnetism, which eventually led to the development of modern electromagnetic theory.Throughout the book, the author provides detailed explanations of the scientific ideas and experiments that shaped our understanding of aether and electricity. He also highlights the contributions of lesser-known scientists and discusses the controversies and debates that surrounded these ideas throughout history.Overall, ""A History Of The Theories Of Aether And Electricity"" is an important work of scientific history that provides a fascinating look at the development of some of the most important theories in modern physics.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1910 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
