On The Heat Of Vapors And On Astronomical Refractions (1840) - John William Lubbock - Bog

""On The Heat Of Vapors And On Astronomical Refractions"" is a scientific book written by John William Lubbock in 1840. The book is divided into two parts, the first part discussing the heat of vapors and the second part discussing astronomical refractions. In the first part, Lubbock explains the concept of heat and how it relates to the behavior of vapors. He discusses the different properties of vapors and how they behave under different conditions, such as changes in pressure and temperature. Lubbock also explores the relationship between heat and the behavior of gases, providing insights into the nature of heat and its effects on matter.In the second part of the book, Lubbock focuses on astronomical refractions. He explains how light behaves when it passes through different mediums, such as air and water, and how this affects the way we see objects in the sky. Lubbock also discusses the impact of atmospheric conditions on astronomical observations, such as the refraction of light and the distortion of images.Overall, ""On The Heat Of Vapors And On Astronomical Refractions"" is a comprehensive scientific work that offers valuable insights into the behavior of matter and the nature of light. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the fields of physics and astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
