Unique, controversial, and frequently cited, this chronicle offers highly detailed accounts ? including much information not found elsewhere ? concerning the development of ideas and theories about the nature of electricity and space (aether). The treatment focuses on the period from Descartes to Lorentz, Einstein, and Minkowski and is readily accessible to general readers as well as high school students, teachers, and undergraduates.
