Notes -- Bibliography -- Index of Names.This book presents a comprehensive history of the many contributions the Jesuits made to science from their founding to the present. It also links the Jesuits dedication to science with their specific spirituality which tries to find God in all things. The book begins with Christopher Clavius, professor of mathematics in the Roman College between 1567 and 1595, the initiator of this tradition. It covers Jesuits scientific contributions in mathematics, astronomy, physics and cartography up until the suppression of the order by the Pope in 1773. Next, the book details the scientific work the Jesuits pursued after their restoration in 1814. It examines the establishment of a network of observatories throughout the world; details contributions made to the study of tropical hurricanes, earthquakes and terrestrial magnetism and examines such important figures as Angelo Secchi, Stephen J. Perry, James B. Macelwane and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. From their founding to the present, Jesuits have trodden an uncommon path to the frontiers where the Christian message is not yet known. Jesuits’ work in science is also an interesting chapter in the general problem of the relation between science and religion. This book provides readers with a complete portrait of the Jesuit scientific tradition. Its engaging story will appeal to those with an interest in the history of science, the history of the relations between science and religion and the history of Jesuits.ReligionChurch and educationHistoryReligious Studies, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A0000Religion and Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O41000History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Religion.Church and education.History.Religious Studies, general.Religion and Education.History of Science.001.3200200.71509Udías Vallina Agustínauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut442259BOOK9910483186903321Jesuit Contribution to Science2848539UNINA03414nam 22008415 450 991029861920332120260810165044.03-319-14175-910.1007/978-3-319-14175-6(CKB)3710000000378023(EBL)2094252(SSID)ssj0001465572(PQKBManifestationID)11935261(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001465572(PQKBWorkID)11478165(PQKB)10702302(DE-He213)978-3-319-14175-6(MiAaPQ)EBC2094252(PPN)184888778(MiAaPQ)EBC3108656(EXLCZ)99371000000037802320150318d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrIsoconversional Kinetics of Thermally Stimulated Processes /by Sergey Vyazovkin1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (247 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-319-14174-0 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Some basics en route to isoconversional methodology -- Isoconversional methodology -- Physical Processes -- Chemical processes -- Epilogue.The use of isoconversional kinetic methods for analysis of thermogravimetric and calorimetric data on thermally stimulated processes is quickly growing in popularity. The purpose of this book is to create the first comprehensive resource on the theory and applications of isoconversional methodology. The book introduces the reader to the kinetics of physical and chemical condensed phase processes that occur as a result of changing temperature and discusses how isoconversional analysis can provide important kinetic insights into them. The book will help the readers to develop a better understanding of the methodology, and promote its efficient usage and successful development.Chemistry, Physical and theoreticalAnalytical chemistryChemistry, TechnicalPolymersThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeatTransmissionMass transferPhysical ChemistryAnalytical ChemistryIndustrial ChemistryPolymersEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass TransferChemistry, Physical and theoretical.Analytical chemistry.Chemistry, Technical.Polymers.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.HeatTransmission.Mass transfer.Physical Chemistry.Analytical Chemistry.Industrial Chemistry.Polymers.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.54541541.2254543621.4021660Vyazovkin Sergeyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut860916BOOK9910298619203321Isoconversional Kinetics of Thermally Stimulated Processes1921248UNINA
