Great Books Vol 45: Lavoisier & Fourier - Chemistry & Heat
Hardcover volume in blue cloth with moderate shelf wear and slight edge rubbing. Pages are lightly toned but unmarked. Antoine Lavoisier revolutionised chemistry by formulating the law of conservation of mass and establishing modern chemical nomenclature. Joseph Fourier's 'Analytical Theory of Heat' introduced the use of infinite series (now called Fourier series) to analyse heat conduction, shaping the development of mathematical physics. This volume is indispensable for students of science history, chemists, mathematicians and those completing their Great Books sets. Searches for Lavoisier, Fourier, conservation of mass and Fourier series will help collectors locate it. It will be packaged carefully to ensure safe delivery.
