Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates a centuries-old enigma: how the earth was formed, and is shaped. Through a comparative, historical, and scientific lens, the author traces the evolution of our understanding of the earth's figure, from ancient Greek deductive reasoning to modern science and technology. It covers topics such as the significance of the earth's oblateness, its internal structure, and international scientific collaboration to accurately map the planet's dimensions. A highly informative read for anyone interested in the history and progress of our knowledge about the planet we inhabit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Couverture rigide. Etat : Très bon. Edition originale. Pleine basane de l'époque, dos à nerfs. Un volume in-8 (195x125 mm), (4)-232 pages et 5 planches dépliantes. Coiffes et coins accidentés avec manques. Edition originale. Recueil d'expériences d'hydrodynamiques réalisées dans un bassin de l'Ecole militaire par D'Alembert, Condorcet et Bossut. Turgot les avait mandatés pour chercher comment améliorer la navigation fluviale. Les résultats de ces expériences aboutirent à établir ce qui deviendra le paradoxe de D'Alembert ,qui ne sera résolu qu'avec la théorie des sillages. En effet d'après les équations hydrodynamiques de l'époque, "un corps devrait pouvoir progresser dans un fluide sans éprouver aucune résistance ou, ce qui revient au même, qu'une pile de pont plongée dans le cours d'un fleuve ne devait subir de sa part aucune poussé", ce que les expériences réalisées démentaient. Au delà du traité d'hydrodynamique, ce livre témoigne d'une science en marche qui se nourrit des allers retours entre la théorie et l'expérience.

Caps and corners worn with lacks of leather. First edition. Collection of hydrodynamic experiments carried out in a basin of the Military School by D'Alembert, Condorcet and Bossut. Turgot had commissioned them to look for ways to improve river navigation. The results of these experiments led to establish what will become the D'Alembert paradox, which will only be solved with the theory of wakes. Indeed according to the hydrodynamic equations of the time, "a body should be able to progress in a fluid without experiencing any resistance or, which amounts to the same thing, that a bridge pier plunged into the course of a river should not. undergo no pushing on his part ", which the experiments carried out denied. Beyond the treatise on hydrodynamics, this book bears witness to a science in progress which intricates theory and experience. References : DSB [I, 110]. 365g.
