Synopsis

PREFACE Howehold Physics was written primarily for girls. The principles of physics in such a book are of course the same as in a text-book for boys or for mixed classes. But in household Physics these principles are applied in such a way as to interest girls, by using examples and refererices with which they are thorouglly famiIiar. The work was developed in the classroom. At first the author used an outline, filling in with applications and drawings in the recitation periods. The following year the text was written and mirneograph copies put into the hands of the students. After this material had been carefully- worked over with various classes, it was revised into the present book. The subject of Heat is taken up first, since it is one which has many applications of vital importance to the household. Thus the girl becomes interested in physics from the first, and looks forward to recitations with pleasure. The language of the book has been kept as simple as possible throughout. The topics are carefully explained and these explanations are illustrated by a wealth of line drawings and photographs. The problems are especially easy and practical. The author wishes to take this opporturlity to thank the several industrial concerns which supplied many of the photographs, and also those teachers and pupils who so kindly assisted him in bringing the work to compIetion....

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
