Covered with deep mist : the development of quantum gravity (1916-1956) / Dean Rickles.

This is the first book-length treatment of the history of attempts to bring quantum mechanics and gravitation together. It goes beyond a mere technical examination of the problems, by also looking at social and cultural factors involved in the changing fortunes of the field.
