Great Experiments in Physics: Firsthand Accounts from Galileo to Einstein

Rating:
Summary: Essential !!!
Review: I strongly recommend this book for everyone interested in physics. Professor Shamos did a fantastic job in collecting in one single book the experiments and original works of the main geniuses of the history of physics. It's so much more interesting and easy to understand the principles when you visualize the context in which they were developed. Such literature must be obrigatory for every student of physics !!
