"Driftless" by David Rhodes and also picking through "Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912" by Thomas Kuhn. Thomas Kuhn, Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity: 1894-1912 (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1978). Kuhn, Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894–1912, Clarendon Press, Oxford and Oxford University Press, New York, 1978. A masterly assessment of the way the idea of quanta of radiation became part of 20th-century physics. Kuhn gives a striking example of this "paradigm shift" in his book Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912 (1987, University of Chicago Press). 7/7/12, 8:19 AM · chickelit said Anyway, what are you reading today in book form?

Thomas Kuhn also points to a 1906 paper by Einstein as “the birth of the quantum theory.” See Thomas S. Kuhn, Black-body theory and the quantum discontinuity 1894-1912, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1978. For a perfect emitter (a so-called black body, which emits and absorbs at all wavelengths) it should have been possible to use thermodynamics to give a theoretical expression for black-body radiation. In 1894 Planck turned his attention to the problem of black-body radiation. Thus Wilhelm Wien in 1896 derived a law that applied Thomas Kuhn, Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity: 1894–1912 (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1978). Kuhn, Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912. Various 'radiation laws' were derived.
