Synopsis The Temperature Scales of Fahrenheit and Celsius by : Eileen S. Coates

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a Polish-born Dutch physicist, maker of scientific instruments, and inventor of the alcohol and mercury thermometers, developed the Fahrenheit temperature scale commonly used in the United States. Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer, developed the Celsius temperature scale, also called the centigrade scale, which is used in most countries and for scientific purposes worldwide. This book explores the path these men took to develop their respective temperature scales and provides readers with biographical information about their lives. The addition of STEM concepts helps readers understand the science behind the development of these temperature scales.

Synopsis Creators of Mathematical and Computational Sciences by : Ravi P Agarwal

​The book records the essential discoveries of mathematical and computational scientists in chronological order, following the birth of ideas on the basis of prior ideas ad infinitum. The authors document the winding path of mathematical scholarship throughout history, and most importantly, the thought process of each individual that resulted in the mastery of their subject. The book implicitly addresses the nature and character of every scientist as one tries to understand their visible actions in both adverse and congenial environments. The authors hope that this will enable the reader to understand their mode of thinking, and perhaps even to emulate their virtues in life.

Synopsis Encyclopedia of World Scientists, Updated Edition by : Elizabeth Oakes

Encyclopedia of World Scientists, Updated Edition is a comprehensive reference tool for learning about scientists and their work. It includes 500 cross-referenced profiles of well-known scientific "greats" of history and contemporary scientists whose work is verging on prominence. More than 100 entries are devoted to women and minority scientists. Each entry includes the subject's full name, dates of birth/death, nationality, and field(s) of specialization. A biographical essay focuses primarily on the subject's scientific work and achievements; it also highlights additional information, such as place of birth, parents' names and occupations, name(s) of spouse(s) and children, educational background, jobs held, and awards earned. Profiles include: Archimedes (c. 287–212 BCE): Mathematician Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543): Astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564–1642): Astronomer Daniel Bernoulli (1700–1782): Mathematician John James Audubon (1785–1851): Biologist Elizabeth Blackwell (1821–1910): Medical scientist Alfred Bernhard Nobel (1833–1896): Chemist Albert Einstein (1879–1955): Physicist Niels Bohr (1885–1962): Physicist George Washington Carver (c. 1861–1943): Chemist Marie Curie (1867–1934): Physicist and chemist Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882–1945): Aerospace engineer Edwin Powell Hubble (1889–1953): Astronomer Grace Murray Hooper (1906–1992): Computer scientist Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (1910–1994): Chemist Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910–1997): Earth scientist Alan Turing (1912–1954): Computer scientist Jonas Edward Salk (1914–1995): Medical scientist Rosalind Franklin (1920–1958): Chemist Jewel Plummer Cobb (1924–2017): Biologist Stephen Hawking (1942–2018): Astronomer.

Synopsis Thermodynamics in Geochemistry by : Greg M. Anderson

This textbook and reference outlines the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, emphasizing applications in geochemistry. The work is distinguished by its comprehensive, balanced coverage and its rigorous presentation. The authors bring years of teaching experience to the work, and have attempted to particularly address those areas where other texts on the subject have provided inadequate coverage. A thorough review of the necessary mathematics is presented early on, both as a refresher for those with a background in university calculus, and for the benefit of those coming to the subject for the first time. The text is written for students in advanced undergraduate or graduate-level geochemistry as well as for all researchers in this field.

Synopsis Martin Folkes (1690-1754) by : Anna Marie Roos

Martin Folkes (1690-1754): Newtonian, Antiquary, Connoisseur is a cultural and intellectual biography of the only President of both the Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries. Sir Isaac Newton's protégé, astronomer, mathematician, freemason, art connoisseur, Voltaire's friend and Hogarth's patron, his was an intellectually vibrant world. Folkes was possibly the best-connected natural philosopher and antiquary of his age, an epitome of Enlightenment sociability, and yet he was a surprisingly neglected figure, the long shadow of Newton eclipsing his brilliant disciple. A complex figure, Folkes edited Newton's posthumous works in biblical chronology, yet was a religious skeptic and one of the first members of the gentry to marry an actress. His interests were multidisciplinary, from his authorship of the first complete history of the English coinage, to works concerning ancient architecture, statistical probability, and astronomy. Rich archival material, including Folkes's travel diary, correspondence, and his library and art collections permit reconstruction through Folkes's eyes of what it was like to be a collector and patron, a Masonic freethinker, and antiquarian and virtuoso in the days before 'science' became sub-specialised. Folkes's virtuosic sensibility and possible role in the unification of the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Society tells against the historiographical assumption that this was the age in which the 'two cultures' of the humanities and sciences split apart, never to be reunited. In Georgian England, antiquarianism and 'science' were considered largely part of the same endeavour.
