While only in his twenties, he was awarded the University of Glasgow's chair in natural philosophy, which he was to hold for over fifty years. He is best known through the Kelvin, the unit of measurement of temperature named after him in consequence of his development of an absolute scale of temperature. These volumes collect together Kelvin's lectures for a wider audience. In a convivial but never condescending style, he outlines a range of scientific subjects to audiences of his fellow scientists. The range of topics covered reflects Kelvin's broad interests and his stature as one of the most eminent of Victorian scientists. Volume 3, published in 1891, deals with the science of the seas and oceans, particularly as it relates to navigation, tides and magnetic forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lord Kelvin William Thomson,William Baron Thomson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108029795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108029797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.18d","brand":"Lord Kelvin William Thomson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965200056575,"sku":"9781108029797","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0f3887e-7e45-4963-b969-e7bbc03e20cd.jpg?v=1767279094","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/popular-lectures-and-addresses-lord-kelvin-william-thomson-9781108029797","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
