Leinen Sehr gut. Text Englisch. Leinen-Einband mit Rückentitelei, tadellos, VII, 512 Seiten, wie neu. Sir Benjamin Thompson, Graf Rumford (Reichsgraf von Rumford) (1753-1814), Offizier, Politiker, Experimentalphysiker und Erfinder, hatte bedeutenden Anteil an der Weiterentwicklung der Wärmelehre. In München wurde er zum Adjutanten und Kammerherrn ernannt und 1788 mit der Reorganisation der Armee beauftragt, die sich in einem desolaten Zustand befand. Insbesondere die gewöhnlichen Soldaten waren schlecht bezahlt, schlecht ernährt und schlecht gekleidet. Thompson ließ in jeder Garnison von den Soldaten Gärten anlegen, um ihre Lebensmittelversorgung zu verbessern, so auch in München auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Englischen Gartens. Er machte seine wissenschaftlichen Interessen für seine Aufgabe nutzbar, indem er Untersuchungen zur wärmedämmenden Wirkung von Uniformstoffen anstellte und eine wärmespeichernde Unterwäsche erfand. Über die Armut und das Elend der einfachen Soldaten wurde Thompson zum Sozialreformer. Zur Bekämpfung des Bettlerunwesens ließ er Armenhäuser, Schulen für Soldatenkinder, Arbeitshäuser und Manufakturen errichten und nutzte auch hier seine naturwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse, um die Lebensumstände der Bevölkerung zu verbessern: Er erfand den Rumford-Herd, einen energiesparenden Küchenherd, der nur halb so viel Brennstoff verbrauchte wie die noch weithin üblichen offenen Herde, entwickelte verbesserte Öfen, Kamine und Lampen und eine funktionale Kücheneinrichtung.Für Suppenküchen zur Speisung der Armen erfand er die Rumfordsuppe, ein billiges, aber nahrhaftes Eintopfgericht, das europaweite Verbreitung in der Armenfürsorge fand. Hauptbestandteil der Rumfordsuppe waren Kartoffeln, die, bislang von der bayrischen Bevölkerung misstrauisch abgelehnt, von Thompson als Volksnahrungsmittel propagiert wurden (aus Wikipedia). --- A full cloth-bound monograph, VII, 512 pages, excellent condition.
