This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a passionate and deeply insightful exploration of the science of locomotion, specifically focusing on the mechanics of railways and steam navigation. Published in an era when these technologies were rapidly changing the world, the author challenges the prevailing scientific theories of his day, particularly those of Dr. Hutton, a prominent mathematician and physicist. The author argues that the established understanding of force and resistance in fluids, as well as the impact of falling bodies, is fundamentally flawed and proposes his own alternative theories. He presents his arguments in a clear and accessible style, drawing on practical experience, real-world examples, and rigorous mathematical reasoning. The book delves into the complexities of designing efficient and safe railways and steamships, challenging conventional wisdom and highlighting the importance of accurate scientific knowledge in the development of these crucial technologies. Ultimately, this book is a powerful call for a reassessment of accepted scientific truths, and a reminder of the vital role of accurate understanding in engineering progress. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332065776_0
