Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book analyzes how major events such as the recent pandemic crisis, wars around the world and climate change, have affected agricultural production and the direct food supply. In this sense, human nutrition will never be off the agenda. The book provides information and guidelines for both practitioners and decision-makers about important developments in the use of agriculture, soil and water resources for agricultural purposes, including the effective and efficient use of soil and water resources where agricultural production, increasing water productivity, the use of modern technology and digitalization for this purpose. Accordingly, a number of chapters have |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The concept of mass is one of the most fundamental notions in physics, comparable in importance only to those of space and time. But |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in contrast to the latter, which are the subject of innumerable physical and philosophical studies, the concept of mass has been but rarely investigated. Here Max Jammer, a leading philosopher and historian of physics, provides a concise but comprehensive, coherent, and self-contained study of the concept of mass as it is defined, interpreted, and applied in contemporary physics and as it is critically examined in the modern philosophy of science. With its focus on theories proposed after the mid-1950s, the book is the first of its kind, covering the most recent experimental and theoretical investigations into the nature of mass and its role in modern physics, from the realm of elementary particles to the cosmology of galaxies. The book begins with an analysis of the persistent difficulties of defining inertial mass in a noncircular manner and discusses the related question of whether mass is an observational or a theoretical concept. It then studies the notion of mass in special relativity and the delicate problem of whether the relativistic rest mass is the only legitimate notion of mass and whether it is identical with the classical (Newtonian) mass. This is followed by a critical analysis of the different derivations of the famous mass-energy relationship E = mc2 and its conflicting interpretations. Jammer then devotes a chapter to the distinction between inertial and gravitational mass and to the various versions of the so-called equivalence principle with which Newton initiated his Principia but which also became the starting point of Einstein's general relativity, which supersedes Newtonian physics. The book concludes with a presentation of recently proposed global and local dynamical theories of the origin and nature of mass. Destined to become a much-consulted reference for philosophers and physicists, this book is also written for the nonprofessional general reader interested in the foundations of physics. |
