- W4248855209 abstract "As a text-book, this work differs from its predecessors in the order of treatment of the subjects. Commencing with the First Law of Thermodynamics and the more general Principle of the Conservation of Energy, a logical sequence leads to the study of the kinetic theory of matter, which is most easily treated in connexion with the gaseous state. The continuity of the gaseous and liquid states supplies the natural transition to a detailed study of liquids, and solids are dealt with last of all. The reviewer can recommend this order from his own experience in lecturing to university students, and is of the opinion that the first half of Prof.McEwen's book reaches a high standard of excellence. Some parts of the latter half are not quite so satisfactory. The chapter on capillarity seems somewhat elementary and does not contain many references to modern work. The distinction between surface tension and surface energy is not well brought out. The chapter on solids is very short, and should be greatly expanded when a new edition is called for. We hope the author will then include an account of the crystalline structure of solids as revealed by X-ray analysis. The Properties of Matter. Prof. Basil C. McEwen By. Pp. vi + 316. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1923.) 10s. 6d. net." @default.
