The Chemical History of a Candle - With All Illustrations and Tables (Hardcover) (Hardcover): Michael Faraday The Chemical History of a Candle - With All Illustrations and Tables (Hardcover) (Hardcover)
Michael Faraday
R672 Discovery Miles 6 720 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Faraday's detailed examination of the candle, its composition, and the physical nature of its flames, is published here complete with the original illustrations and explanatory tables. Although involved in developing several of the cutting-edge advances in thermodynamics during his era, Michael Faraday recognized that the essential principles of physics underpinned earlier innovations. This book outlines the three essential ingredients for fire; a supply of oxygen, a supply of fuel, and heat. The fundamental design of the candle, with its slow-melting wax and wick, is detailed. As well as being a great scientist in his own right, Faraday was respected as a lecturer capable of explaining with clarity principles which his contemporaries struggled to present to the general population. It can be argued that Michael Faraday was among the first of the 'popular scientists' capable of presenting science in a manner interesting and stimulating: it is in this spirit that he published this book.

You read an article about repressed memories of sexual abuse returning in middle-age; a television program features actors as villains of a certain build and physiognomy; you chat with a friend about the damage done to their personalities by their parents, siblings, or circumstances; you explain to someone how you forgot a task assigned because of an unconscious motivation. We are all natural psychologists, explaining behavior by the beliefs of our time and culture. We are captives, in a psychological sense, by theories and ideas that we accept tacitly, without knowledge or evaluation of their origins. We do not escape their influence, for they represent our idea of common sense. We can be, however, better evaluators of ourselves and others by examining the ideas' origins and source of their power. To find and judge their source we are powerless if we use only our own sense of reason, for reason is contaminated by ideas of the past.Our best hope is to search for their origins.

This is a companion textbook for an introductory course in physics. It aims to link the theories and models that students learn in class with practical problem-solving techniques. In other words, it should address the common complaint that 'I understand the concepts but I can't do the homework or tests'. The fundamentals of introductory physics courses are addressed in simple and concise terms, with emphasis on how the fundamental concepts and equations should be used to solve physics problems.

When salt loses its savor it needs to be thrown out and replaced-this is an emphatic lesson from The Second Vatican Council, which addresses "joy and hope" in a faithless and despairing culture. The shining light of Vatican II is a beacon trained on the natural reality of transformational consciousness that grows out of and thrives in beauty and truth. The beauty of the moment, the truth of the moment is all that is and all that ye need to know, for beauty is truth, truth beauty. A Tree's leaf is a lexicon (DIVINICON) of symbiotic history. Leaves are pages of durable consciousness that green freshly every Spring. Open to the beauty, the wisdom of a leaf, and the destiny of the blossom-HAPPINESS IS A LITTLE FLOWER GARDEN.

Why Science?

We are fascinated by discovery: who discovered what, and how?

This ranges from a look outward at the night sky with scientists like Kepler, astronauts like Neil Armstrong, to physicist like Einstein, chemists like Marie Curie and Linus Pauling, an inward look at psychologists such as Skinner and Maslow, and philosophers like Plato.

Join Keating as he explores the pursuit of scientific discovery from his background as a physicists and a long career in the margins of the academic world.

The subject of aliens is not a new one and has been around for a really long time now. We talk about it all the time.News and articles about the possibility of alien visits or attacks are everywhere. Perhaps this has become socommon that people have started to shrug it off, thinking this is just one of those science fiction topics that medialoves to sensationalize.If all of a sudden we have an alien encounter one day, are we psychologically prepared for this? Like many of youeven I think we are not. In fact we might be in a state of shock as they might turn out to be completely differentfrom any of our imaginations about them. But if we are prepared for "anything," then such an alien encountermight not be shocking.The objective of this book is to prepare its readers psychologically to deal with the subject of aliens and thefirst alien encounter. In other words aiming to prepare humanity with the cope of a possible shock upon animpending alien encounter.There are a lot of mysteries in this world that might have some paranormal behavior associated to them, but theyare kind of scattered and appear here and there. In other words although these mysteries have been documentedwell enough by a lot of people from time to time, but they do not appear related.This book attempts to bring together these mysteries and relate them with one possible explanation that iscommon, the alien connection. Also it is trying to bring this subject out from the confines of a circle of scientists, subject experts and enthusiasts to a common person. So this book is for a common man by a common man.

Later this year, the Planetary Society is planning to launch LightSail-1, a sail that will travel farther and farther into space propelled by the sun's steady stream of photon particles. Other such flights are projected for the next few years. This renewed interest in light and its momentum call for a fresh look into the speed of light c which generates this energy. This speed has been, for over a century, a cardinal pillar supporting the present edifice of theoretical physics, but that light had any speed at all was discovered only in the seventeenth century, and confirmed in the eighteenth, by means of measurements over vast astronomical distances. These methods seem to have proven that the speed of light varied with the speed of the observer. Nonetheless, another experiment late in the nineteenth century, was interpreted as showing that the speed of light was independent of its observer or its source-it was a universal constant. This thesis is a meticulous examination in historical context of the evidential data and theories which paved the road to the idea that the speed of light was a universal constant, a seemingly universal belief. The need for the endeavor arose secondarily to the main task of exploring fundamental physical and geometrical phenomena of light detailed in the previous treatises on Optokinetics.

The eternal dichotomy between science and religion. Are they compatible? YES-NO-MAYBE The theory of creation and the theory of evolution are fundamentally at loggerheads with each other. The one being based on faith, the other on reason. The fact remains that the supernatural explanation of the universe is a fantasy; the purpose of our existence, an unresolved mystery; the question of where we are going, the back-pain enigma and gaping hole in the postulate of intelligent design. Are we lost somewhere on a cosmic road to nowhere? If God exists, why does he need all these gigantic fiery celestial marbles to play with? If there is no god, what else is out there, and what shall we call it, him, her? This force can have no gender and must be beyond time as we know it. OCTOPUS MAGNUS
