Cover of Josep Simon: Communicating Physics (PDF)

The textbooks written by Adolphe Ganot played a major role in shaping the way physics was taught in schools. Simon’s Franco-British case study looks at the role of two of Ganot’s books. The study is novel for its international comparison of 19th-century physics and for its emphasis on the communication of science rather than on the science itself.
