The Net Advance of Physics:
History and Philosophy: Kristian Birkeland

• WORKS:
  • Sur un spectre des rayons cathodiques by Kristian Birkeland [Comptes Rendus 123, 492 (1896)]
  • The Norwegian Aurora Polaris Expedition 1902-1903 by Kristian Birkeland [Christiana: Aschehoug, 1908] Only the first part of Volume I seems to have been placed in the Archive, which is extraordinarily unfortunate, since Birkeland's most important contribution to science is found in the second part!
    • On Possible Electric Phenomena in Solar Systems and Nebulae (This transcription, made by an anti-establishment physics group and lacking some figures, seems to be the only one available online.)
