Bücher von Elisha Gray

Nature's Miracles, Familiar Talks On Science V1: World Building And Life, Earth, Air, And Water (1900) is a book written by Elisha Gray. This book is a compilation of talks given by Gray on the topics of science and nature. The book is divided into four sections: World Building and Life, Earth, Air, and Water. In the first section, Gray discusses the creation of the world and the origins of life. He explores the theories of evolution and the role of natural selection in the development of species. The second section focuses on the Earth and its geological features, such as mountains, rivers, and oceans. Gray also discusses the formation of rocks and minerals. In the third section, Gray delves into the properties of air, including its composition and the role it plays in weather patterns. He also discusses the science of sound and the principles of acoustics. The final section of the book explores the properties of water, including its chemical makeup and the role it plays in sustaining life. Gray also discusses the science of waves and the principles of hydrodynamics. Overall, Nature's Miracles offers a comprehensive overview of the natural world and the scientific principles that govern it.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.

The book, "" Nature's Miracles, Volume 1 Familiar Talks on Science--World-Building and Life. Earth, Air and Water. "" , has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies and hence the text is clear and readable.

First published in 1893, "Notes on Recent Researches in Electricity and Magnetism" is a scientific treatise by Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940), an English physicist and Nobel Laureate. Thompson was most famous for his discovery of the electron, which was the very first subatomic particle to be found. He was also responsible for unearthing the first evidence for isotopes of a stable element in 1913. Thomson won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for his work related to conduction of electricity in gases. This volume concentrates on electricity and magnetism, and it is highly recommended for those with an interest in early scientific studies in these fields. Contents include: "Electric Displacement", "Faraday Tubes", "Unit Faraday Tubes", "Analogy with Kinetic Theory of Gases", "Reasons for Taking Tubes of Electrostatic Induction as the Unit", "Energy in the Electric Field", "Behaviour of Faraday Tubes in a Conductor", "Connection Between Electric Displacement and Faraday Tubes", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of magnetism.
