Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The early-twentieth-century studies of Albert Einstein and Jean Perrin provided some of the first concrete evidence for the existence of molecules. Perrin, who received the 1926 Nobel Prize in physics, wrote Brownian Movement and Molecular Reality to explain his painstaking measurements of the displacements of particles of a resin suspended in water--experiments that yielded average displacements in excellent accord with theoretical predictions by Einstein. This classic volume introduced the concept of Avogadro’s number, along with other groundbreaking work. Originally published in the French journal, Annales de chimie et de physique, it was translated into English by Frederick Soddy to enduring influence and acclaim. 1910 ed. 7 figures.
