Synopsis
This thesis sets out the results of both specific-heat and magnetocaloric experiments undertaken with bespoke experimental apparatus whose design specifically addresses the demanding constraints of the low-temperature, high-magnetic-field environment., How did the popularity of underwear in the twelfth century lead to the invention of the printing press? How did the waterwheel evolve into the computer? How did the arrival of the cannon lead eventually to the development of movies? In this highly acclaimed and bestselling book, James Burke brilliantly examines the ideas, inventions, and coincidences that have culminated in the major technological advances of today. With dazzling insight, he untangles the pattern of interconnecting events: the accidents of time, circumstance, and place that gave rise to the major inventions of the world. Says Burke, "My purpose is to acquaint the reader with some of the forces that have caused change in the past, looking in particular at eight innovations -- the computer, the production line, telecommunications, the airplane, the atomic bomb, plastics, the guided rocket, and television -- which may be most influential in structuring our own futures....Each one of these is part of a family of similar devices, and is the result of a sequence of closely connected events extending from the ancient world until the present day. Each has enormous potential for humankind's benefit -- or destruction." Based on a popular TV documentary series,Connectionsis a fascinating scientific detective story of the inventions that changed history -- and the surprising links that connect them., How did the popularity of underwear in the twelfth century lead to the invention of the printing press?

- 6***b (2)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufPurchased a book from the seller that was listed as "very good" condition. When the book arrived, it had multiple torn pages that had been taped back together, had a slightly damaged dust cover and had writing on the inside of the back cover, not matching what a "very good" condition book would be. The book itself is a very cute story, one of my family's bedtime favorites.
