Talk:Principles of Optics

Additions to the article
It is great to see an article about this wonderful book.

There is a lot of interesting information about its genesis in Peter Knight's foreword in the Anniversary edition as well in Nancy Greenspan's biography of Max Born, and the Born-Einstein letters. i hope to add more in the near future.

The battle with Robert Maxwell might merit an article on its own. Epzcaw (talk) 14:55, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I've expanded the contents section to include some detail about what is covered in each chapter, and what changed from edition - this is all from the prefaces to the new editions. Epzcaw (talk) 08:46, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Nice work! I actually created both this page and the one for The End of the Certain World and your contributions are most welcome. I have been too busy lately to allow myself to use WP and will remain so for a while (I am an addict and if I allow myself 5 minutes, I will spend all day on here), so it is great to see others picking up the articles and improving them. Also note, WP:NBOOK is pretty lax, if you can find significant material talking about it, being in scattered reviews, forwards, etc., then you can make an article for the book. I honestly think it is important that significant textbooks have a place on here, their timeline tells the story of the history of physics. Footlessmouse (talk) 05:45, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
