Pierre Duhem (1861-1916) held the chair of theoretical physics at Bordeaux from 1894 to his death. He established a reputation in both the history and philosophy of science as well as in science itself (physics and physical chemistry). Much of his work in the first two areas has been translated into English, but little of his technical scientific work. The present volume contains early work of Duhem's illustrating his interest in the rigorous development of physical theory for which he is famous. It opens with what was the first critical discussion of Gibbs' groundbreaking "On the...

Galileo's O, Band III, ist in der Buchgeschichte ohne Vorbild. Ein Kreis von Spezialisten der Kunst-, Buch-, Wissenschafts-, Material- und Restaurierungsgeschichte korrigiert in diesem Werk die eigenen Ergebnisse der ersten beiden Bande.

Die Analyse war als Beispiel einer umfassenden Kooperation gedacht, und zahlreiche Ergebnisse sind nach wie vor gultig, doch das zentrale Objekt hat sich als Produkt einer internationalen Gruppe von Falschern erwiesen. Indem Band III die Chronologie und...
