Physics education, 1979•iopscience.iop.org
The author discusses a type of material which looks historical, but in which there is no
attempt to convey history truthfully: the aim is solely to put over scientific facts, and
the'history'is there to provide a framework inside which the scientific facts fit easily, appear
to'make sense'and may be easily remembered for examination purposes. It also provides,
maybe, a little light relief from the hard facts of the science itself. He calls this' quasi-history',
and many examples are given, followed by a discussion of its effects.

It also provides, maybe, a little light relief from the hard facts of the science itself. He calls this' quasi-history', and many examples are given, followed by a discussion of its effects.
