Abstract
THE collaboration of a theoretical physicist with a colleague who is an experimenter naturally results in a book of wide appeal, even if both authors feel it necessary to deal with many important branches of modern physics in a small space. It provides a ready guide for readers who wish to know the present state of wave mechanics theory, its experimental basis, and how far the theory is able to provide new and more adequate explanations for the results of fundamental experiments. It is an interesting compilation. The reviewer, however, would scarcely term Schopper's experiment for the direct measurement of e, a method for finding e/m.
