About This Item
VERY RARE FIRST GERMAN EDITION of "Principes fondamentaux de l'équilibre et du movement" translated from a new edition, published in Paris in 1803. Itself a work that first appeared in Dijon in 1783 under the title Essai sur les machines en général. The author explains in the preface that he has made changes in the light of recent discoveries. "These developments have necessitated a new order in the subjects, and made the writing more voluminous. . . the result is a work that is in some ways entirely new. . ." (see DSB III, p.75 and 78). "Carnot remains one of the very few men of science and of politics whose career in each domain deserves serious attention on its own merits" (DSB). Famous as the French Revolution's 'Organizer of Victory,' who in 1793 successfully united fourteen armies to defend France against an immense European horde, Carnot is equally well known as a mechanical engineer and mathematician, being the author of this first theoretical treatise on engineering mechanics, in which he was the first to prove explicitly the loss of kinetic energy in the collision of bodies. Carnot's abstract approach to the problems of mechanics makes him one of the important forerunners in the field of the physics of energy. - Visit our website to see more images!
