Milano, Carocci 2003, cm.13x20, pp.128, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Collana Le Bussole,100. Oggi nessuno nega la realtà degli atomi. All'inizio del Novecento, tuttavia, la loro esistenza non era affatto scontata e molti scienziati li consideravano un'inutile astrazione. Fin dall'antichità, tutte le civiltà hanno cercato di spiegare la costituzione della materia, elaborando teorie in competizione fra loro, talvolta inconciliabili, spesso legate a questioni di natura teologica e filosofica, oltre che scientifica. Il libro ricostruisce la storia delle teorie della materia, nella quale oggetti considerati reali, a un certo punto si sono rivelati inesistenti, e viceversa.
