Niels Bohr and the Quantum Atom: The Bohr Model of Atomic Structure 1913-1925 by Helge Kragh (Author). Niels Bohr and the Quantum Atom are the primary e-book that focuses in detail on the start and growth of Bohr's atomic principle and provides a complete picture of it. At the similar time it provides new insight into Bohr's peculiar mindset, what Einstein as soon as known as his 'distinctive intuition and tact'. Contrary to most different accounts of the Bohr atom, the e-book presents it in a broader perspective which includes the reception amongst other scientists and the criticism launched against it by scientists of an extra conservative inclination. Moreover, it discusses the speculation as Bohr initially conceived it, namely, as a formidable principle covering the structure of atoms as well as molecules. By discussing the speculation in its entirety it becomes possible to grasp why it developed because it did and thereby to make use of it for instance of the dynamics of scientific theories.
I have learned a few chapters only, mainly on the genesis and failures of Bohr Model, but of what I learn I've learned an ideal deal. This isn't a simple reading however I think that the interested reader will find good materials on the this portion of the show known as Old Quantum Theory. Not for a mateurs.
