In this panoramic intellectual history of a quest that has engaged scientists, philosophers, and church leaders for 2,500 years, Bernard Pullman deftly captures the richness and depth of this remarkable debate via marvelous accounts of the works of such thinkers as Plato and Aristotle, Aquinas and Maimonides, Galileo and Descartes, and Newton and Einstein. 24 linecuts.The concept of the atom is very near scientific bedrock, touching first causes, fundamental principles; our conception of the nature of reality. This book is a translation from the French of a history of atomic thought and theory, from ancient Greece to the present day.
