4.0 out of 5 stars A century of work on this problem, April 15, 2004
This review is from: The Kelvin Problem (Hardcover)
William Kelvin is mostly remembered today for the attachment of his name to the absolute temperature scale, in recognition of his original work on low temperature research in the late 19th century.

But during his long career, he investigated many other outstanding problems of the time. One such problem is the subject of this book. The editors chose Kelvin's pioneering paper to kick off the book. They then summarised over a century's effort by selecting papers by other prominent scientists tackling the issue.

The book is good for a historical perspective. Though undoubtedly some will be attracted mainly by Kelvin's work.
