Description

Book Synopsis
Focuses on the development of various theoretical representations of electrons from the late 1890s to 1925 and the methodological problems associated with writing about unobservable scientific entities. Using the electron as a historical actor, the author illustrates the emergence and gradual consolidation of its representation in physics.

Trade Review
"Representing Electrons makes an important contribution not only to the historical literature on the history of physics but also to the philosophical literature on realism and theory/meaning change. This is a nice example of how to do history and philosophy of science in practice." - Margaret Morrison, University of Toronto"
