Excerpt from Worlds in the Making, the Evolution of the Universe, Vol. 1The explanations which I tentatively Offered could, Of course, not claim to stand in all their detail; yet the scientific world received them with unusual interest and benevolence. Thus encouraged, I tried to solve more of the numerous important problems, and in the present volume I have added some further sections to the com plex Of explanatory arguments concerning the evolution of the Universe. The foundation to these explanations was laid in a memoir which I presented to the Academy of Sciences at Stockholm in 1900. The memoir was soon afterwards printed in the Physikalische Zeitschrift, and the subject was further developed in my Treatise of Cosmic Physics.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

Excerpt from Quantitative Laws in Biological ChemistryThe development of chemical science in the last thirty years shows a steadily increasing tendency to elucidate the nature and reactions of substances produced by living organisms. The problem has been attacked in two different ways, firstly, by the aid of the highly developed synthetic methods of organic chemistry - it will be enough to mention the brilliant work of Emil Fischer, Kossel, and their pupils - and secondly, by the powerful technical means afforded by the modern development of physical chemistry. The studies founded on the methods of organic chemistry aim at investigating the structural composition of the molecules of the chief products of organic origin and subsequently building them up synthetically. The physico-chemical methods, on the other hand, give an insight into the nature of the chemical processes which play an important role in the living world. The work of organic chemists in this region has been generally recognized as being of high scientific interest, but the same cannot be said regarding the work of physical chemists in the domain of physiological chemistry.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
