Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ...our friends' matter as their nonmatter in motion. We shall then find that our senseimpressions of hardness, weight, colour, temperature, cohesion, and chemical constitution, may all be described by aid of the motions of a single medium, which itself is conceived to have no hardness, weight, colour, temperature, nor indeed elasticity of the ordinary perceptual type. This would mean an immeasurably great advance in our scientific power of description. Yet if physicists even then persist in projecting the conceptual into the sphere of sense-impression, and in asserting a phenomenal existence for the ether, we should still be ignorant of what it is that moves, of what ether-matter may really consist in. 1 I venture to think Sir William Thomson's attempt to weigh ether a retrograde step (see his Lectures on Molecular Dynamics, pp. 206-8, Baltimore, 1884). If the ether be a sufficiently wide-embracing conception, gravitation should flow from it, and this certainly was Sir William's view when he propounded the vortex atom. Our analysis, therefore, of the various statements made by physicists and common-sense philosophers with regard to the nature of matter shows us that they are one and all metaphysical--that is, they attempt to describe something beyond sense-impression, beyond perception, and appear, therefore, at best as dogmas, at worst as inconsistencies. If we confine ourselves to the field of logical inference, we see in the phenomenal universe, not matter in motion, but sense-impressions and changes of senseimpressions, coexistence and sequence, correlation and routine. This world of sense-impression science symbolises in conception by an infinitely extended medium, whose various types of motion correspond to diverse groups of...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Grammar of Science, Vol. 1: Physical These two new sections involved dividing the book into two parts, for there is much also to be added to the chapters dealing with living forms, where progress in the last ten years has been as great as in the physical branches of science. I trust this enlarged second part of the Grammar may be out this year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWritten for statisticians, computer scientists, geographers, research and applied scientists, and others interested in visualizing data, this book presents a unique foundation for producing almost every quantitative graphic found in scientific journals, newspapers, statistical packages, and data visualization systems. It was designed for a distributed computing environment, with special attention given to conserving computer code and system resources. While the tangible result of this work is a Java production graphics library, the text focuses on the deep structures involved in producing quantitative graphics from data. It investigates the rules that underlie pie charts, bar charts, scatterplots, function plots, maps, mosaics, and radar charts. These rules are abstracted from the work of Bertin, Cleveland, Kosslyn, MacEachren, Pinker, Tufte, Tukey, Tobler, and other theorists of quantitative graphics.
