Ancient And Modern Physics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162653051)

Ancient and Modern Physics is a comprehensive book written by Thomas E. Willson that explores the evolution of physics from ancient times to the modern era. The book covers the fundamental laws of physics and their applications in various fields such as astronomy, mechanics, electricity, magnetism, and optics. It also delves into the contributions of famous scientists such as Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, and their impact on the development of physics. The author provides a detailed analysis of the theories and experiments conducted by these scientists and how they have shaped our understanding of the physical world. The book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the history and evolution of physics.These fundamental principles have been discovered and applied in the past fifty years--in the memory of the living. They have revolutionized science in all its departments. Our textbooks on Chemistry, Light, Heat, Electricity and Sound have had to be entirely re-written; and in many other departments, notably in medicine and psychology, they have yet to be re-written. Our textbooks are in a transition state, each new one going a step farther, to make the change gradual from the old forms of belief to the new, so that even Tyndall's textbook on ""Sound"" is now so antedated, or antiquated, that it might have been written in darkest Africa before the pyramids were built, instead of twenty years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
