Scientific Papers V2 - George Howard Darwin - Bog

Scientific Papers V2: Tidal Friction And Cosmogony (1907) is a book written by George Howard Darwin, a British mathematician and astronomer. The book is a collection of scientific papers written by Darwin, which focus on the topics of tidal friction and cosmogony.The first part of the book deals with tidal friction, which is the phenomenon where the gravitational pull of the moon causes the Earth's rotation to slow down. Darwin's papers explore the mathematical models and calculations behind tidal friction, and how it affects the Earth's rotation and the moon's orbit.The second part of the book focuses on cosmogony, which is the study of the origin and evolution of the universe. Darwin's papers in this section examine the theories and models of the formation of the solar system and the evolution of planets, including the Earth.Overall, Scientific Papers V2: Tidal Friction And Cosmogony (1907) is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of two important areas of astronomy and physics, written by one of the leading scientists of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
