I AM not aware that this reprint of some of my scattered notes and essays demands any apology.
The practice of making such collections and selections by the author himself has now become very general, and is much better done thus than by friends after his death.

Excerpt from Science in Short Chapters
This book supplies a growing want of these busy times, when so many of us are prevented by the struggles of business from sitting down to the consecutive systematic study of a formal treatise.
I have kept this demand steadily in view throughout, by selecting subjects which are likely to be interesting to all readers who are sufficiently intelligent to prefer sober fact to sensational fiction, but who, at the same time, do not profess to be scientific specialists.
In the writing of these papers my highest literary ambition has always been to combine clearness and simplicity with some attempt at philosophy.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into groundbreaking scientific inquiries of the late 19th century, challenging established theories and offering fresh perspectives on celestial phenomena. The author's central argument revolves around the concept of a universal atmosphere, extending infinitely beyond Earth and encompassing all celestial bodies. This idea forms the foundation for a series of explorations into the mysteries of the universe, including the fuel of the sun and stars, the nature of sunspots and prominences, and the origins of meteorites and comets. The author meticulously examines the limitations of contemporary scientific understanding, particularly concerning atmospheric expansibility and the role of dissociation in chemical reactions. By drawing upon laboratory experiments and established physical laws, the author constructs a compelling argument for the sun as a self-sustaining furnace, fueled by the continuous inflow of atmospheric matter and governed by the principles of combustion and radiation. This book's insights into the workings of the cosmos offer a captivating journey through the scientific landscape of the time. The author's meticulous reasoning and bold hypotheses challenge readers to reimagine the universe and ponder the interconnectedness of celestial bodies, ultimately revealing the intricate dance of energy and matter that sustains our solar system and beyond. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330628164_0
