EDDINGTON, Nouveaux Sentiers de la Science, 1936

Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) was a British astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, professor of astronomy at the University of Cambridge, known for his work on general relativity and astrophysics. His work Nouveaux Sentiers de la Science (New Paths in Science) explores the most recent developments in physics and astronomy of the time. Translated by P. Guénard, this book is aimed at a broad, educated audience. It is a fascinating testament to the state of scientific knowledge in the 1930s, addressing topics such as cosmology, quantum mechanics, and the relationship between science and philosophy.
