Download or read book Introduction to Glass Science and Technology written by James E Shelby and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise and inexpensive introduction for an undergraduate course in glass science and technology. The level of the book has deliberately been maintained at the introductory level to avoid confusion of the student by inclusion of more advanced material, and is unique in that its text is limited to the amount suitable for a one term course for students in materials science, ceramics or inorganic chemistry. The contents cover the fundamental topics of importance in glass science and technology, including glass formation, crystallization, phase separation and structure of glasses. Additional chapters discuss the most important properties of glasses, including discussion of physical, optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. A final chapter provides an introduction to a number of methods used to form technical glasses, including glass sheet, bottles, insulation fibre, optical fibres and other common commercial products. In addition, the book contains discussion of the effects of phase separation and crystallization on the properties of glasses, which is neglected in other texts. Although intended primarily as a textbook, Introduction to Glass Science and Technology will also be invaluable to the engineer or scientist who desires more knowledge regarding the formation, properties and production of glass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Science, Vol. 1 1. IN whatever place we first become aware that we are livin beings, the scene which we survey is limited to a very sma part of the' whole system of Nature - that is, of what exists. F we look beyond the house in which we live, we probably see other houses, fields, hills, plains, or a part of the sea. If we look upward, a more extensive view is presented; we there behold the clear blue sky, where the sun shines by day, and the moon and stars by night. But even these large plains, and that wide sky, are only a part, and a very small part, of what exists. Far beyond the hills which bound our new, there are other plains and hills; and far beyond the stars which we see by night there are other stars without number. 2. Vs young person has some notion of the distance called a mile. I he were to walk a few miles from the place where he lives, he would come to other places quite stran e to him; and if he were to walk many more miles, he woul still come to new places. The parish in which he lives is only a few miles in extent; but this parish is but a I? Of a county, which is again of a state or kingdom. He state is probably many reds of miles long, and some hundreds broad, and it con tains so many people, that it is not easy for a child to understand their number. But, after all, a state is only a small part of the surface of the earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Introduction to the Science written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Science, Vol. 1 The present volume, while calculated also for private and self-instruction, is chiefly designed to occupy that part of the attention of young persons at school, which has hitherto been devoted to the earliest of the usual series of Collections. Not less intelligible than the simplest of that class of school-books, it possesses the advantage of a definite and most important object, inasmuch as it presents a connected and systematic view of Nature. The sciences treated of are Astronomy - Natural Philosophy - Geology and Physical Geography - Meteorology - Electricity and Magnetism - Chemistry - Botany - Zoology - Human Physiology - and Mental Philosophy, upon each of which a series of questions is given at the end of the work. The amount of information on each is necessarily not great; but it has been the ambition of the writer that the information given should not be a superficial view of a few unconnected phenomena, but a chain of principles, calculated, in combination, to impress a distinct and comprehensive idea, and to make it possible that even those who leave school at the early age of ten, shall not go into the world without some knowledge of the parts of which it is composed, and the laws by which it is regulated. For the completion of a right elementary education, it is of course deemed necessary by the Editors, that each of the sciences here treated, besides several others, be studied separately, at least to the extent in which they are treated in the respective volumes of Chambers's Educational Course.

Download or read book Science Communication An Introduction written by Frans Van Dam and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The book provides a concise, informative, comprehensive, and current overview of key issues in the field of science communication, the background of science communication, its theoretical bases, and its links to science communication practice. Especially the link between theory / research and practice is very well developed in the book and in the individual chapters. I think that is valuable for both readers new to the field of science communication, but also for those who identify with only one of these sides … it is indeed a comprehensive and concise overview, convincing in its aim to link theory, research, and practice and I will definitely use it for my lectures on science communication.'JCOM - Journal of Science CommunicationA concise, coherent and easily readable textbook about the field of science communication, connecting the practice of science communicators with theory. In the book, recent trends and shifts in the field resonate, such as the transition from telling about science to interacting with the public and the importance of science communication in health and environmental communication. The chapters have been written by experts in their disciplines, coming from philosophy of science and communication studies to health communication and science journalism. Cases from around the world illustrate science communication in practice. The book provides a broad, up-to-date and coherent introduction to science communication for both, students of science communication and related fields, as well as professionals.Related Link(s)
