Weber’s Electrodynamics
This volume is a substantially complete presentation of the electrodynamics developed by Wilhelm Weber. Weber's force between point charges is explored and thoroughly analysed. Ampère's force between current elements is discussed in connection with modern experiments relating to the Ampère versus Grassmann--Biot--Savart controversy. Ampère's force is a central feature of this work, as Maxwell maintained it should always be in the study of electrodynamics, although it is included in few textbooks on electromagnetism. A detailed study of this force is an outstanding feature of this book. Other topical questions of physics are analysed, such as a potential-dependent inertial mass, Mach's principle and the origin of inertia, action at a distance as opposed to contact actions, etc. No previous knowledge of the subject is required, and all topics are introduced with both their historical backgrounds as well as modern experimental evidence. This volume will appeal to physicists, mathematicians, electrical and electronic engineers, historians and philosophers of science.
Weber's Planetary Model of the Atom
Weber's Planetary Model of the Atom Bekannt ist Wilhelm Weber zusammen mit Karl Friedrich Gauss fur die Schaffung der absoluten Masssysteme, Grundlage fur die heutigen SI-Einheiten. Webers Atommodell, entstanden um 1860 und in der physikhistorischen Literatur kaum bekannt, wird hier prasentiert von Andre Koch Torres Assis, Professor an der brasilianischen Universitat Campinas, und vom Institut fur Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften der Universitat Hamburg, von Privatdozent Dr. Karl Heinrich Wiederkehr, Studiendirektor im Ruhestand, und von Prof. Dr. Gudrun Wolfschmidt. Mit dem Triumph der Feldphysik und Nahwirkungstheorie (Faraday, Maxwell, Heinrich Hertz) legte man allzu schnell die altere ...

Mechanics of the Human Walking Apparatus
The first comprehensive theory of walking and running was developed by the Weber brothers in Leipzig, Germany, at the end of the nineteenth century. Their classic work is now made available to present-day medical professionals and historians in modern English translation. Wilhelm and Eduard Weber based their mathematical conclusions on anatomical studies as well as observations with the naked eye and telescope. They performed many quantitative experiments on individuals walking and running under various conditions. The Weber theory was the first serious attempt to explain these movements scientifically since Borelli's study in 1680; it preceeded the classical research of Braune and Fischer in 1895-1904 using photography. This fascinating look back into the research of the past century will captivate medical historians; the work's relevance to modern medicine will astonish bioengineers, anatomists and physiologists alike.
Max Weber's Theory of the Modern State
Andreas Anter reconstructs Max Weber's theory of the modern state, showing its significance to contemporary political science. He reveals the ambivalence of Weber's political thought: the oscillation between an étatiste position, mainly oriented to the reason of state, and an individualistic one, focussed on the freedom of individuals

The Language of Physics
This work is the first explicit examination of the key role that mathematics has played in the development of theoretical physics and will undoubtedly challenge the more conventional accounts of its historical development. Although mathematics has long been regarded as the "language" of physics, the connections between these independent disciplines have been far more complex and intimate than previous narratives have shown. The author convincingly demonstrates that practices, methods, and language shaped the development of the field, and are a key to understanding the mergence of the modern academic discipline. Mathematicians and physicists, as well as historians of both disciplines, will find this provocative work of great interest.
