“This is a scientific age. Our material prosperity, the conveniences of life, and often life itself rest upon the development of our science. Although the practical fruits of science are not to be despised, its true significance is more subtle. The study of science has profoundly influenced the way men think.”
Wonderful vintage copy of a foundational physics text.
