History And Root Of The Principle Of The Conservation Of Energy (1910)

History And Root Of The Principle Of The Conservation Of Energy is a book written by Ernst Mach and first published in 1910. The book explores the history and development of the principle of the conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Mach begins by tracing the origins of the principle to the work of Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei in the 17th century. He then examines the contributions of other scientists, including Robert Boyle, James Joule, and Hermann von Helmholtz, who helped to refine and expand the principle over the following centuries.Throughout the book, Mach emphasizes the importance of experimental evidence in the development of the principle, and he discusses the key experiments that helped to establish the principle as a fundamental law of physics. He also explores the philosophical implications of the principle, particularly its relationship to the concept of causality and the nature of scientific explanation.Overall, History And Root Of The Principle Of The Conservation Of Energy is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most important principles in physics and its development over several centuries. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science or the foundations of modern physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
