Newton's Corpuscles, Maxwell's Waves, and Einstein's Quanta

The three facets of light - corpuscles, waves and quanta - as viewed by the three great physicists, Newton, Maxwell and Einstein, are the subject of this book. The author shows that these three are related in the sense that one can pass on from the first to the second to the third by certain prescriptions. The physics of all the three are presented in great detail.
