Description “Shows how [the study of the hydrogen atom] has helped unify our understanding of the material world from the smallest scale [ranging] from the first attempt to identify the basic building block of atoms in the mid-nineteenth century to the discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate only a few years ago.” (from publisher's web page)
