About this product
Product Information
Miller analyzes Einstein's famous paper establishing the theory of relativity in the light of the intellectual struggles of physicists at the start of the 20th century: the interplay between physical theory and empirical data, the inertia of existing theories and interpretations, and the drive to the unification of the sciences. Since its original publication, this book has become a standard reference for the history and philosopy of science; it can equally well serve as a text in the history of ideas or of twentieth-century philosophy.

Reviews
From reviews of the previous edition: "Miller has written a superb, perhaps definitive, historical study of Einsteins special theory of relativity.... One comes away from the book with a respect for both the creative genius of the man and his nerve: he simply brushed aside much of the work that was going on around him." - The New Yorker
