Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of the measurement of the constant of gravitation, a fundamental aspect of understanding the gravitational force that governs the universe. The author provides a detailed account of the groundbreaking work of scientists like Henry Cavendish, Johann von Soldner, and Carl Friedrich Gauss, who made significant contributions to the field. The book explores the experimental setups, methodologies, and results obtained by these scientists, highlighting the challenges they faced and the refinements they introduced to enhance the accuracy of their measurements. It also examines the impact of their findings on the broader scientific landscape, allowing readers to grasp the evolution of scientific thought and the development of our understanding of gravity over time. Through its examination of historical experiments and the evolution of ideas, this book offers a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of science and the fundamental nature of the universe. It provides insights into the scientific process, the importance of precision and accuracy in experimentation, and the collaborative nature of scientific progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Yes, issued mere days after the stock market crash of October, 1929 (actually, it may have been on newsstands on THE DAY of the Crash), this is the issue of "Scientific American" bearing the infamous, full-color "Ancient Prejudice Has Been Removed" ad for Lucky Strike cigarettes to the back cover. Just as "Hoarding gold with the fanatical zeal of the miser has vanished" (illustration shows the paranoid miser counting his stacks of gold coins by candlelight, foolishly believing they will somehow protect his wealth more effectively than a pile of stock certificates or -- heaven forbid -- a stack of Federal Reserve Notes), now that "American intelligence sponsors thousands of banking institutions to which the individual safely entrusts his wealth" (wealthy couple shown chatting with bank "Security" officer -- cue Stan depositing his grandma's $100 check in the South Park Bank), so have Lucky Strikes "destroyed that ancient prejudice against cigarette smoking by men and women" by toasting their tobacco, thus removing "harmful corrosive acids . . . No Throat Irritation -- No Cough," the reader is cheerfully assured. Economists may still debate whether bank failures caused the Great Depression, or the Great Depression caused bank failures, but what's undisputed is that by 1933, 11,000 of the nation's 25,000 "safe and secure" banks had disappeared. The run on America's banks began immediately following the stock market crash of Oct. 29, 1929. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of customers began to withdraw their deposits. But many weren't quick enough. In 1933 alone, Americans who had money deposited in banks lost approximately $140 billion. Good thing grandpa was too smart to put his money in gold coins in the safe! ($20 an ounce in 1929, now pushing $5,000 an ounce, if you can find them.) Also in this issue, "Ford's friend Edison," by F.D. McHugh; Paul Heyl, Ph.D., on evidence that speeds faster than that of light may be impossible; "Synthetic Sweet Smells," by Donald A. Laird, "Japan's New Navy," by Dr. Oscar Parkes, and "An Outlawed Industry Comes Back" (survival and return of the Anheuser-Busch brewery of St. Louis), by A.A. Hopkins. Interestingly, the magazine also features a brief report on a telephone study conducted by Dr. Wingate M. Johnson of North Carolina, reporting that although 70 percent of heart attack victims were tobacco smokers and only 30 percent were non-smokers, he could still conclude smoking has no permanent effect on the blood pressure and bears no definite relationship to angina pectoris, that "The chief bad effects produced by tobacco smoking . . . are irritations of the lining of the throat." (In his 1963 obituary, the New York Times noted Dr. Johnson, who'd been editor of the North Carolina Medical Journal since 1940, also "Warned Against Exercise." Hey, at least he died too soon to inject all his patients with Pfizer "clot shots." Ain't "science" grand?) This 1929 magazine now reduced from $5,000.…
