This 792-page volume describes all of the important discoveries during the past 350 years in physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and related fields like chemistry that were populated by physicists in earlier eras. It provides a single source of information for anyone with an interest in the history of physics, and provides detailed references to the original scientific documents for those who wish to read or acquire them. History of Physics is divided into 13 Sections with titles ranging from Electricity and Magnetism to Astronomy and Astrophysics and these sections are further subdivided into chapters, with Cosmology being one of 11 chapters within Astronomy and Astrophysics. A comprehensive index facilitates direct access by a scientist's name or other keywords. This volume also serves as the catalog of The Wenner Collection, a unique collection of the most important documents in the history of physics that is now the cornerstone of the Niels Bohr Library at the American Institute of Physics.
