Louis de Broglie has achieved immortality in the conceptual foundation of Quantum Mechanics, his most glorious contribution being the proposition that the wavelength and momentum of a particulate matter are inversely related and that all existing matter exhibit wave-particle duality.

Condition- Light toning at edges, barely minimal foxing occasionally encountered in text. A lovely, fine-press edition.
