The Language of Modern Physics: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science
Ernest H. Hutten
First published 1956
The first part of the book deals with modern logic and semantics and discussion is based on the semantic conception of truth and leads up to the criterion of meaning.
The second and main part of the book is about basic ideas of classical physics, thermodynamics, and quantum physics. Here the model which underlies a scientific theory is of greatest import; in most instances the model is tacitly assumed, but we must bring it into the open if we want to understand the theory.
The third deals with the methods scientists use for confirming their hypotheses
