On Phthisis And The Supposed Influence Of Climate: Being An Analysis Of Statistics Of Consumption In This Part Of Australia (1879) is a scientific analysis of the relationship between climate and consumption (phthisis) in Australia. The author, William Thomson, examines statistical data on consumption rates in the region and discusses various theories on the causes of the disease, including climate, heredity, and lifestyle factors. Thomson argues that while climate may play a role in the development of consumption, other factors such as hygiene and living conditions are equally important. The book provides a detailed overview of the history and epidemiology of consumption in Australia, as well as a comprehensive analysis of the available data on the disease. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine or the study of respiratory diseases.With Remarks On The Cause Of The Increase Of That Disease In Melbourne.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

G. G. Stokes and Lord Kelvin helped bring about conceptual and institutional changes that transformed the science of physics. Originally published in 1990, this collection presents the largest extant correspondence between two Victorian physicists and provides, therefore, invaluable insight and information for a period of major historical importance.

William Thomson, Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), was one of the most important Victorian scientists. These volumes collect together Kelvin's lectures for a wider audience. Volume 1 includes talks about the constitution of matter and basic topics in physics such as light, heat, electricity and gravity.

William Thomson, Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), born with a great talent for mathematics and physics, was educated at Glasgow and Cambridge. While only in his twenties, he was appointed to the University of Glasgow's Chair in Natural Philosophy, which he was to hold for over fifty years. He is best known for lending his name to the Kelvin unit of measurement for temperature, after his development of an absolute scale of temperature. This book is a corrected 1884 edition of Kelvin's 1872 collection of papers on electrostatics and magnetism. It includes all his work on these subjects previously published as articles in journals including the Cambridge Mathematical Journal and the Transactions of the Royal Society. Kelvin also wrote several new items to fill gaps in this collection, so that its coverage of the state of electromagnetic research in the late nineteenth century is comprehensive.

This collection brings together in six volumes the published articles of the eminent mathematical physicist and engineer William Thomson, first Baron Kelvin (1824-1907). Topics covered include heat, electricity, magnetism and electrotelegraphy, hydrodynamics, tidal theory and navigation.

In 1867, Sir William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) and Peter Guthrie Tate revolutionised physics with the publication of their Treatise on Natural Philosophy, in which they demonstrated the centrality of energy conservation to systems of dynamic movement. Popularly known as 'T&T' for its authors' initials, the Treatise became the standard textbook on natural philosophy, introducing generations of mathematicians to the 'new energy-based dynamics'. In Elements of Natural Philosophy (1873), they distil the portions of the Treatise not requiring higher calculus into a primer suitable for use in university courses. The first half covers the basic principles of kinematics and dynamics, including the motion of points, lines, and volumes, while the second half concerns questions of 'abstract dynamics', including particle attraction. The result of one of the most important collaborations in modern physics, this book remains a thorough introduction to the major principles of Thomson and Tait's larger work.
