Jed Z. Buchwald uses as his focus the social and intellectual world of nineteenth-century German physics. Drawing on the lab notes, published papers, and unpublished manuscripts of Heinrich Hertz, Buchwald recreates Hertz's 1887 invention of a device that produced electromagnetic waves in wires. The invention itself was serendipitous and the device was quickly transformed, but Hertz's early experiments led to major innovations in electrodynamics. Buchwald explores the difficulty Hertz had in reconciling the theories of other physicists, including Hermann von Helmholtz and James Clerk Maxwell, and he considers the complex and often problematic connections between theory and experiment. In this first detailed scientific biography of Hertz and his scientific community, Buchwald demonstrates that tacit knowledge can be recovered so that we can begin to identify the unspoken rules that govern scientific practice. 606 $aElectric waves 606 $aPhysicists$zGermany 610 $aelectric waves, heinrich hertz, science, biography, physics, germany, lab notes, invention, electromagnetic, wires, innovation, discovery, experiment, scientific method, community, james clerk maxwell, hermann von helmholtz, tacit knowledge, electrodynamics, induction, cathode ray, energy, radiators, waveguides, fechner-weber theory, conductors, polarization, charge, nonfiction. 615 0$aElectric waves. 615 0$aPhysicists 676 $a537 686 $aUB 2420$2rvk 700 $aBuchwald$b Jed Z$045408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781109803321 996 $aThe creation of scientific effects$93855950 997 $aUNINA
