Abstract
A history of concepts of the atom, traced primarily through the works of philosophers and other intellectual critics rather than those of scientists. Beginning with the notion of an indivisible fundamental constituent of matter first formulated by the pre-Socratic Greek thinkers, Pullam follows ideas that have and have not survived from the ancients and the pre-moderns into our own contemporary conceptions.
