Book Overview
In the mid- to late-1890s, J.J. Thomson and colleagues at Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory conducted experiments on cathode rays (a form of radiation produced within evacuated glass vessels subjected to electric fields) - the results of which some historians later viewed as the discovery of the electron. This book is both a biography of the electron and a history of the microphysical world that it opened up.
