From the first great experimental scientist: the classic text, first published in Latin in 1600. Summarizes then-current knowledge of magnetism and electricity, offering insights into the origins of modern science.
An introduction to astronomy written with a historical perspective.
Pierre de Maricourt, a prominent figure in the 13th century, penned the groundbreaking work 'The Letter of Petrus Peregrinus on the Magnet, A.D. 1269,' which delves into the realm of magnetism and its properties. In this informative text, de Maricourt displays a keen understanding of science and engineering for his time, as he uncovers the intricate behavior of magnets and their polarity. Written in the form of a letter, the book showcases a unique blend of scholarly analysis and practical observations, making it a valuable contribution to the study of magnetism in the medieval era. With its lucid explanations and empirical evidence, the work stands as a testament to de Maricourt's intellectual prowess and inquisitive spirit, setting the stage for future advancements in the field of physics and magnetism. Overall, 'The Letter of Petrus Peregrinus on the Magnet, A.D. 1269' is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and the evolution of magnetic theory, offering a fascinating glimpse into the scientific achievements of the medieval period.
In Hidden Attraction Gerrit L. Verschuur traces the history of our fascination with magnetism, from the first discovery of magnets in Greece, to state-of-the-art theories that see magnetism as a basic force in the universe.
"The Natural Philosophy of William Gilbert and His Predecessors" by W. James King delves into the scientific contributions and philosophical insights of William Gilbert, a pioneering figure in the field of magnetism and electricity. King examines Gilbert's groundbreaking work, placing it within the context of earlier scientific developments and the prevailing philosophical and intellectual currents of the time. This book sheds light on Gilbert's innovative ideas and their impact on the advancement of natural philosophy. "The Natural Philosophy of William Gilbert and His Predecessors" is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of science and the evolution of scientific thought.
This book on electrostatic discharge phenomena is essentially a translation and update ofa Swedish edition from 1992. The book is intended for people working with electronic circuits and equipments, in application and development. All personnel should be aware of the ESD-hazards, especially those responsible for quality. ESD-prevention is a part of TQM (Total Quality Management). The book is also usable for courses on the subject. Background It was soon realised that the MOS-circuits (MOS=Metal Oxide Semiconductor), which appeared in the beginning of the 1960-ties were sensitive to electrostatic discharges. But a severe accident accelerated the search for materials that do not generate electric charges. In April 1964 three people were working inside a satellite at Cape Kennedy Space Center. They suddenly screamed "we are burning". They died. The satellite incapsulation was covered with untreated plastics to protect against dust. When the plastics was pulled off both this and the metal incapsulating got charged. A discharge from the metal ignited inflammable parts of the satellite. Eleven more people were injured and the cost of the accident amounted to about 55 billions USD.
The first book is basically the New-Science-Theory.com site as on 1 January 2018, for changes since then visit the website with its Sitemap noting updates. It is especially good for those interested in physics theory, concentrating chiefly on the four great physicists William Gilbert, Rene Descartes, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein - and also having fine sections on Galileo, Kepler, History of Science, Gravity, Light, String Theory, Standard Model Physics, Probability Science, Philosophy of Science and General Image Theory Science. The second book is a new improved English translation of William Gilbert's banned Latin 1600 'De Magnete' or 'On The Magnet'. This is rather easier to read than its two earlier translations, and significantly helps to clarify Gilbert's 'attraction' physics which Newton put as one of the two mathematized physics options and which he is believed to have privately favoured. It is basically a novel signal-response or remote-control physics that may still have relevance.
The Cambridge Descartes Lexicon is the definitive reference source on René Descartes, 'the father of modern philosophy' and arguably among the most important philosophers of all time. Examining the full range of Descartes' achievements and legacy, it includes 256 in-depth entries that explain key concepts relating to his thought. Cumulatively they uncover interpretative disputes, trace his influences, and explain how his work was received by critics and developed by followers. There are entries on topics such as certainty, cogito ergo sum, doubt, dualism, free will, God, geometry, happiness, human being, knowledge, Meditations on First Philosophy, mind, passion, physics, and virtue, which are written by the largest and most distinguished team of Cartesian scholars ever assembled for a collaborative research project - 92 contributors from ten countries.
