Description: The Natural Philosophy of James Clerk Maxwell by P.M. Harman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This scientific biography and introduction to James Clerk Maxwells physics and philosophy amply shows how he made revolutionary advances in theoretical physics by combining a firm grasp of physical reality with great mathematical ability. Publisher Description This book provides an introductory yet comprehensive account of James Clerk Maxwells (1831–79) physics and worldview. The argument is structured by a focus on the fundamental themes which shaped Maxwells science: analogy and geometry, models and mechanical explanation, statistical representation and the limitations of dynamical reasoning, and the relation between physical theory and its mathematical description. This approach, which considers his physics as a whole, bridges the disjunction between Maxwells greatest contributions: the concept of the electromagnetic field and the kinetic theory of gases. Maxwells work and ideas are viewed historically in terms of his indebtedness to scientific and cultural traditions, of Edinburgh experimental physics, and of Cambridge mathematics and philosophy of science, which nurtured his career. Author Biography P. M. HARMAN is Professor of the History of Science at Lancaster University.
