In a period of active scientific innovation and technological
change, Charles Augustin Coulomb (1736-1806) made major
contributions to the development of physics in the areas of torsion
and electricity and magnetism; as one of the great engineering
theorists, he produced fundamental studies in strength of
materials, soil mechanics, structural design, and friction. Stewart
Gillmor gives a full account of Coulomb's life and an assessment of
his work in the first biography of this notable scientist.
Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
