520 $aA bridge between semipopular works for the general reader has technical treatises written for specialists, this excellent work discusses the foundation ideas and background of modern physics. It is not a text on theoretical physics, but a discussion of the methods of physical description and construction of theory. It is especially valuable for a physicist with a background in elementary calculus who is interested in the ideas which give meaning to the data and tools of modern physics.
