Matter And Energy (1912) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164296782)

Matter and Energy is a book written by the renowned British chemist and physicist, Frederick Soddy, and was first published in 1912. The book explores the fundamental principles of matter and energy, and their relationship to each other. Soddy delves into topics such as atomic structure, radioactivity, and the laws of thermodynamics, providing a comprehensive overview of the field of physics at the time.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the nature of matter, its properties, and its behavior. Soddy discusses the different types of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases, and how they interact with each other. He also explores the concept of atomic structure, explaining the different components of an atom and how they contribute to its properties.In the second part of the book, Soddy delves into the concept of energy and its relationship to matter. He discusses the laws of thermodynamics, which govern the behavior of energy in different systems, and explains how energy can be transformed from one form to another. Soddy also explores the concept of radioactivity, which was a relatively new field of study at the time, and explains how it relates to the principles of matter and energy.Overall, Matter and Energy is a comprehensive and insightful book that provides a thorough overview of the principles of matter and energy. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students and professionals in the field of physics. Despite being over a century old, the book remains relevant today and is still widely read and referenced by physicists and scientists around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
