Publisher Description: "Professor Jammer's book traces the rise of force from the primordial 'nht' in Egyptian antiquity through its zenith as the central element of physical reality in classical mechanics to its near demise under modern criticism ... a veritable tour de force ... To read Concepts of Force is to gain a new and profound understanding of force and dynamics." -- R. T. Weidner, Physics Today |
