Collected Works of Count Rumford: Devices and techniques
Author: Benjamin Graf von Rumford
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674139534
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
Benjamin Thompson (later Count Rumford) aimed by his inventions and scientific research to increase the degree of comfort in daily life. His goals were practical and his contributions to our knowledge of the nature of heat proved extremely valuable. Between 1870 and 1875, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston published all of Rumford's papers that the Academy committee was able to find. The Academy edition, however, has long been out of print and practically unavailable. Here Sanborn Brown has rearranged the papers according to subject matter. Volume I contains Rumford's papers on the nature of heat; the second covers its practical applications. This third volume contains his papers on devices and techniques, including "Use of Steam for Transporting Heat"; "Means of Heating the Hall of the (French) Institute"; "New Boiler for Saving Fuel"; "Steam Heat for Making Soap"; "Fires in Closed Fire-Places"; "Kitchen Fire-Places"; "Salubrity of Warm Rooms"; "Salubrity of Warm Bathing"; "The Strength of Silk"; "Quantities of Absorbed Moisture"; "Advantage of Wheels with Broad Felloes"; and "Proposals for Building a Frigate."

Heirs of Tom Brown
Author: Isabel Quigly
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780571251537
Category : Boys
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In their heyday, the English public schools inspired an astonishing effusion of novels and stories about school life, of which Tom Brown's Schooldays is perhaps still the best known, and was certainly the most influential. Continually counterpointing school life as it really was with its fictional image, Isabel Quigly discusses her chosen stories in relation to those themes which recur in the genre: the cult of games, the love story, the boarding school as a training ground for the Empire, schoolboy heroics and an extraordinary preoccupation with death. Her range is wide: from classics like Stalky & Co, Anstey's Vice Versa, and P. G. Wodehouse's school stories, to the schoolgirl tales of Angela Brazil: from nostalgic and snobbish accounts of Eton to Alec Waugh's daring and precocious novel, The Loom of Youth. The Heirs of Tom Brown is an entertaining and original investigation into the literary, social and cultural history of the English school story. 'An excellent guide to this curious but interesting chapter in social and literary history' John Rae, Listener
