Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Admiral Sir Charles John Napier KCB GOTE RN (6 March 1786 6 November 1860) was a Scottish naval officer whose sixty years in the Royal Navy included service in the Napoleonic Wars, Syrian War and the Crimean War, and a period commanding the Portuguese navy in the Liberal Wars. An innovator concerned with the development of iron ships, and an advocate of humane reform in the Royal Navy, he was also active in politics as a Liberal Member of Parliament and was probably the naval officer most widely known to the public in the early Victorian Era. Napier was the second son of Captain Charles Napier, RN, and grandson of Francis, 6th Lord Napier; he was thus a direct descendant of the great mathematician John Napier. He was born at Merchiston Hall, near Falkirk, on 6 March 1786, and educated at the Royal High School, Edinburgh.

The following year, he moved to HMS Egyptienne for a voyage to St Helena escorting a convoy of ships and then in the English Channel and off the coast of France. (In later years, feeling he had been badly treated as a Midshipman by her captain, Charles Fleeming, Napier challenged that officer to a duel, though they were eventually reconciled by their seconds.)

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : James Clerk Maxwell (13 juin 1831 à Édimbourg, en Écosse - 5 novembre 1879) est un physicien et mathématicien écossais. Il est principalement connu pour avoir unifié en un seul ensemble d'équations, les équations de Maxwell, l'électricité, le magnétisme et l'induction, en incluant une importante modification du théorème d'Ampère. Ce fut à l'époque le modèle le plus unifié de l'électromagnétisme. Il est également célèbre pour avoir interprété, dans un article en quatre parties publié dans Philosophical Magazine intitulé On Physical Lines of Force, la lumière comme étant un phénomène électromagnétique en s'appuyant sur les travaux de Michael Faraday. Il a notamment démontré que les champs électriques et magnétiques se propagent dans l'espace sous la forme d'une onde et à la vitesse de la lumière. Ces deux découvertes permirent d'importants travaux ultérieurs notamment en relativité restreinte et en mécanique quantique. Il a également développé la distribution de Maxwell, une méthode statistique de description de la théorie cinétique des gaz. Maxwell est considéré par de nombreux physiciens comme le scientifique du siècle ayant eu le plus d'influence au siècle. Ses contributions à la science sont considérées par certains comme aussi importantes que celles d'Isaac Newton ou d'Albert Einstein...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
