Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an accurate account of Physics at the time of its writing, presents the various phenomena that fall under the subject. The author has approached the matter by classifying concepts under their broader themes of cohesion, adhesion, and affinity, among others. The book is written with the assumption that bodies and forces are composed of molecules, atoms, and particles; smaller entities like electrons and quarks are not mentioned. The significance of this book is that it was one of the first attempts to create an accurate and broadly applicable theory of physics. The author's methods and laws of physics still hold today. The reader of this book should be aware that it mainly focuses on the physics of individual substances, not the physics of their interactions within a system. The author was only able to speculate on the nature of electricity and magnetism; the true relationship between the two would not be solved until a century later. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
