OverviewThe concept of fundamental nuclear forces emerged gradually during the start of the 1930s and reached the present level of description some time before the 1950s. This work represents a study of an important era in the development of modern physics. In addition, the sociological and philosophical aspects of the story are examined in the light of various theories of scientific development. The book contains analysis of published work, archival materials and interviews.
