The book "Experimental determination of the speed of light carried out at the US Military Academy in the city of Annapolis" was written by the outstanding physicist Albert A. Mickelson. In this work, the author describes in detail the methods used and the results of the experiment on measuring the speed of light, which he conducted together with his colleagues. The book reveals not only the experiment itself, but also its importance for the development of physics and science as a whole. Albert A. Mickelson is among the great researchers whose work has been an important step in improving our understanding of natural phenomena.
