Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two hundred years the Royal Institution has been at the centre of scientific research and has also provided a cultural location for science in Britain. Within its walls some of the major scientific figures of the last two centuries - such as Humphry Davy, Michael Faraday, John Tyndall, James Dewar, Lord Rayleigh, William Henry Bragg, Henry Dale, Eric Rideal, William Lawrence Bragg and George Porter - carried out much of their research. Their discoveries include sodium, the miners' lamp, the electric dynamo, transformer and generator, the 'thermos' flask, x-ray crystallography and much else besides, all of which brought about major changes in the way we live. The success of the Royal Institution in research and in locating science within general culture led it being used as a model for other institutions, most notably by the founders of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Much has been written about the scientific work in the Royal Institution, but comparatively little attention has been devoted to the cultural settings which allowed the Royal Institution to become such a major site for the creation of scientific knowledge. This book seeks to rectify this gap by examining various aspects of its history through both thematic and chronological chapters.

Book excerpt: First published in 1963, Nickel presents a readable account of Nickel’s development from early times to the present day. Weapons and implements containing a small proportion of nickel have been found on the 3500-year-old sites of Ur and Kish in Sumeria; while in 1962 the first United States manned space capsule to orbit the earth made use of nickel alloys to withstand the effects of exposure to elevated temperature, dynamic and acoustical stress, and fatigue. Nickel was identified as an element in the 18th century and the steps leading up to this are vividly described. New information on the origin of Kupfer Nickel, regarded with such disdain by early Saxon miners, is revealed as a result of a visit made by the author to the Freiburg Bergakademie in Eastern Germany. Nickeliferous occurrences in Europe, the South Pacific and North America are described; charts and flowsheets illustrate progress in production and methods of extracting this matter from its complex compounds. There are incidental portraits of the men who built up the industry. A survey of the applications of nickel today includes references to nickel silver, electroplating, the steel field, and it’s hundred and one uses in industry, architecture and the home. This account of the development of nickel, combining scientific and economic fact with the quirks of human history makes informative and imaginative reading.

Download or read book Sir James Dewar 1842 1923 written by J.S. Rowlinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir James Dewar was a major figure in British chemistry for around 40 years. He held the posts of Jacksonian Professor of Natural Philosophy at Cambridge (1875-1923) and Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution (1877-1923) and is remembered principally for his efforts to liquefy hydrogen successfully in the field that would come to be known as cryogenics. His experiments in this field led him to develop the vacuum flask, now more commonly known as the thermos, and in 1898 he was the first person to successfully liquefy hydrogen. A man of many interests, he was also, with Frederick Abel, the inventor of explosive cordite, an achievement that involved him in a major legal battle with Alfred Nobel. Indeed, Dewar's career saw him involved in a number of public quarrels with fellow scientists; he was a fierce and sometimes unscrupulous defender of his rights and his claims to priority in a way that throws much light on the scientific spirit and practice of his day. This, the first scholarly biography of Dewar, seeks to resurrect and reinterpret a man who was a giant of his time, but is now sadly overlooked. In so doing, the book will shed much new light on the scientific culture of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries and the development of the field of chemistry in Britain.
