Description
Pleine basane de l'époque, dos à cinq nerfs orné et doré. Un volume in-12 (168x94 mm), viii-508 pages et 10 planches dépliantes. Coiffe supérieure accidentée. Mouillure sur les trois dernières planches. Edition originale. Pierre Polinière est considéré comme le fondateur de la physique expérimentale en France. Après avoir étudié les mathématiques avec Pierre Varignon (1654 ? 1722), Polinière ouvre un cours de physique au collège d'Harcourt, c'est l'un des premiers cours publics donnés à Paris. Ses séances de démonstrations publiques connurent un grand succès et firent beaucoup pour la diffusion de la méthode scientifique de recherche expérimentale. Ses expériences sont très populaires et, parmi les spectateurs, on trouve le tout Paris, et même le jeune Louis XV en 1722. En 1706, lors d'une expérience devant l'Académie des Sciences, Polinière découvre l'électroluminescence. Cette découverte est contemporaine mais indépendante de celle d'Hauksbee à Londres. Le protocole de l'expérience est ici décrit dans le chapitre ""Phosphore par le Mouvement"".

After studying mathematics with Pierre Varignon (1654 ? 1722), Polinière opened a physics course at the college of Harcourt, it was one of the first public courses given in Paris. His public demonstration sessions were very successful and did much to disseminate the scientific method of experimental research. His experiments were very popular and, among the spectators, we found all of Paris, and even the young Louis XV in 1722. In 1706 during an experiment before the Academy of Sciences, Polinière discovered electroluminescence. This discovery is contemporary but independent of that of Hauksbee in London. The protocol of the experiment is described here in the chapter ?Phosphorus through Movement?
