This is a new publication of

Louis de Broglie, The Revolution in Physics: A Non-mathematical Survey of Quanta, translated by Ralph W. Niemeyer (Noonday Press, New York 1953).

De Broglie (Nobel Prize in Physics, 1929) himself offers a compelling justification for the republication of his book:

"What we have said will suffice to show the reader how deep the interest of the quantum theory is: it has not only stimulated atomic physics, which is the most really alive and zealous branch of the physical sciences, but it has also incontestably broadened our horizons and introduced a number of new ways of thinking, deep traces of which will without doubt remain in the future expansion of human thought. For this reason, quantum physics should interest not only specialists: it merits the attention of all cultivated men."
