The Structure of the Atom, E.N. Da C. Andrade, G. Bell and Sons, 1923

The Structure of the Atom by Edward Neville da Costa Andrade is an early twentieth-century work exploring the emerging field of atomic physics at a time of rapid scientific discovery. Published in 1923, the book reflects contemporary understanding of atomic structure in the wake of developments by figures such as Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr, presenting complex ideas in a clear and accessible form. Andrade, a respected physicist and lecturer, offers both a survey of current theory and an insight into the evolving scientific view of matter, making this work a valuable snapshot of atomic science in the early modern period.
