The book "Die moderne Theorie der physikalischen Erscheinungen" by Augusto Righi, first published in 1905, explores concepts such as radioactivity, ions, and electrons in the context of the emerging scientific theories of the time. It presents the fundamental ideas that led to the electron theory, examining how phenomena like electric discharge and radioactivity shaped our understanding of physical processes. The book also discusses how these discoveries revolutionized theories of electricity and magnetism. It’s a significant historical work for those interested in the early development of physics.
