Kuhn, Thomas S.

Black-body theory and the quanum discountinuty 1894-1912 - New York Clarendon Press.Oxford 1978 - xiii;356p.

This book traces the gradual emergence, during the first decade of the present century of the concept of a discontinuous physics. As the conviction was established, the black-body problem lost its central role in the development of quantum concepts, for it offered no clues to the source and nature of discontinuity.
