Sinopsis

Produced by an award-winning translator of Henri Poincaré, this book contains translationsáof several seminal articles by Poincaré and discusses the experimental and theoretical investigations of electrons that form their context.áIn the 1950s, a dispute ignited about the origin of the theory of special relativity and thrust considerable notoriety on a paper written by Henri Poincaré in 1905. Accordingly, Part I presents the relevant translations of PoincaréâÇÖs work showing that radiation carries momentumáand the covariance of the equations of electrodynamics, the continuity equation for charge,áand the spacetime interval. Part II then discusses investigations by Thomson,áBecquerel, and Kaufmann of electrons in diverse contexts, contributions of Abraham,áLorentz and Poincaré to a theory of electrons that includes Lorentz transformations andáexplains the dependence of mass on velocity, and finally, PoincaréâÇÖs exploration of the relativityáprinciple, electron stability, and gravitation while rejecting absolute motion (ether) andáan electromagnetic origin of mass. Part III contains the 1904 article by H. A. Lorentzápresenting his transformations.This book will be a fascinating read to graduate-level students, physicists, and scienceáhistorians who are interested in the development of electrodynamics and the classical,árelativistic theory of electrons at the beginning of the 20th century.
