A History of Optics from Greek Antiquity to the Nineteenth Century
OUP Oxford 2012; US$ 59.99This book is a long-term history of optics, from early Greek theories of vision to the nineteenth-century victory of the wave theory of light. It shows how light gradually became the central entity of a domain of physics that no longer referred to the functioning of the eye; it retraces the subsequent competition between medium-based and corpuscular... more...
