History And Root Of The Principle Of The Conservation Of Energy (1910)

""History and Root of the Principle of the Conservation of Energy"" is a book written by Ernst Mach and published in 1910. The book explores the history and development of the principle of the conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. Mach traces the origins of the principle back to the ancient Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, and examines its evolution through the work of other notable figures such as Galileo, Descartes, and Newton. The book also delves into the philosophical implications of the principle, including its relationship to causality and determinism. Overall, ""History and Root of the Principle of the Conservation of Energy"" is a comprehensive exploration of one of the fundamental principles of physics and its impact on the history of science and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
