Synopsis

The Correlation of Physical Forces is a scientific book written by W. R. Grove. It was first published in 1846 and discusses the relationship between different forms of energy and how they interact with each other. The book is divided into seven chapters, each discussing a different type of energy, including heat, light, electricity, magnetism, chemical affinity, and motion. Grove argues that these different forms of energy are interconnected and can be transformed into one another. He also discusses the concept of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is considered a classic in the field of physics. It has been influential in the development of modern science and has been cited by numerous scientists and researchers over the years.Followed By A Discourse On Continuity Delivered By The Author As President Of The British Association At Nottingham.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Correlation of Physical Forces having been exhausted, I have done my best during the few spare hours at my disposition to prepare a sixth. Partly induced by the suggestions of others, partly, perhaps, by egotism, I have added a selection of papers on scientific subjects, which I have from time to time previously published. Physical science has moved on far too quickly for me to follow it, and no one is more convinced than I am that To have done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail, In monumental mockery. Still, having gone through my past contributions to science, forgotten by all others, half-forgotten by myself, I find something of suggestion in most of them which may not be altogether useless ;and as the papers are scattered about in various periodicals, a collection of them in one volume may be accepted as a last legacy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Phrase Correlation of Physical Forces in the sense in which I have used it, having become recognised by a large number of scientific writers, it would produce confusion were I now to ro adopt another title. It would, perhaps, have been obetter if I had in the first instance used the termo Co-relation, as the words correlate, correlative, had acquired a peculiar metaphysical sense somewhat diflfering from that which I attached to the substantive correlation. The passage in the text (p. 247) explains the meaning I have given to the term.
