The Mathematical Theory of the Steam Engine, written by Thomas Baker in 1875, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and calculations involved in the design and operation of steam engines. The book is intended for practical men, such as engineers and mechanics, and provides a detailed explanation of the mathematical formulas and rules necessary for understanding the workings of steam engines.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the properties of steam, the laws of thermodynamics, the construction of boilers, and the design and operation of steam engines. It also includes numerous worked-out examples and exercises to help readers apply the principles discussed in the text.One of the key features of the book is its emphasis on the practical application of mathematical theory. Baker provides clear and concise explanations of complex mathematical concepts, and demonstrates how these concepts can be used to solve real-world engineering problems. The book also includes a number of useful tables and charts, as well as a glossary of technical terms.Overall, The Mathematical Theory of the Steam Engine is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of steam engines, as well as for engineers and mechanics who work with these machines on a daily basis. Its clear and concise explanations, practical examples, and emphasis on mathematical theory make it an essential reference for anyone involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of steam engines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

ECDL2000, the Fourth European Conference on Research and Advanced Te- nology for Digital Libraries, is being held this year in Lisbon, Portugal, following previous events in Pisa (1997), Heraklion (1998), and Paris (1999). One major goal of the ECDL conference series has been to draw information professionals, stakeholders, and user communities from both the research world and from - dustry into a discussion of the alternative technologies, policies, and scenarios for global digital libraries. The success of previous conferences makes them a hard act to follow. The eld of digital libraries draws on a truly diverse set of scienti c and technical disciplines. In the past three years, moreover, global cooperation on research and development has emerged as an urgent priority, particularly in the new European Framework Programme and in the Digital Library Initiative in the United States. Because of this diversity, the eld is perhaps still struggling for an identity. But this struggle for identity is itself a source of energy and creativity. P- ticipants in this eld feel themselves to be part of a special community, with special people. Each of us may claim expertise on a narrow issue, with speci c projects, but the choices we make and the methods we use in local solutions can have unforeseen impacts within a growing universe of interconnected resources.

Thomas Baker (1656-1740) traces the history of St John's College, Cambridge in this book, edited and published in 1869. Baker, an avid historian, amassed a wealth of archival information on which to base his account of the college's foundation in 1511 and its architecture, benefactors, governance, masters and students during its first two centuries.
