"The three volumes are easy to handle, there are excellent subject and name indices and extensive lists of references at the ends of most of the chapters...Twentieth Century Physics ought to be in every library used by graduate or undergraduate students. If it falls between two stools - neither a reference book nor exactly science history - this is not a bad thing."
