Sommario/riassunto |
|
Why does matter stick together? Why do gases condense to liquids, and liquids to solids? This book provides a detailed historical account of how some of the leading scientists of the past three centuries have tried to answer these questions. The topic of cohesion and the study of intermolecular forces has been an important component of physical science research for hundreds of years. This book is organised into four broad periods of advances in our understanding. The first three are associated with Newton, Laplace and van der Waals. The final |

|
section gives an account of the successful use in the twentieth century of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics to resolve most of the remaining problems. The book will be of primary interest to physical chemists and physicists, as well as historians of science interested in the historical origins of our modern day understanding of cohesion. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In these essays, Nicholas Zurbrugg charts the developments in late 20th-century multimedia art. He challenges accounts of postmodern techno-culture, and interweaves literary and cultural theory and visual studies to demonstrate the neutering of mass-media culture and the exceptions to it. |
