Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Inductive Chemistry In Chemistry, as in other sciences, there are, in the main, two things to be considered - method and results. There is an enormous mass of facts from which we have to select the indispensable things for the beginner, and there is the general procedure or method by which those facts have been ascertained. This book attempts to teach the method of the science along with the facts, and to unify the facts and logically connect them by means of the method. It is hoped that the student who has read it will not only know something about the subject but will know how he knows it - that he will be able to give the evidence on which his beliefs are based. The chapter on the atmosphere furnishes a good illustration of the working out of this principle. The composition of the atmosphere is regarded as a problem. A beginning is made by utilizing the information which the student already possesses. This leaves him face to face with questions which can only be answered by experiments. The discussion of these leads to new questions, which suggest other experiments and so on until the desired result it obtained. Anyone who desires to do so can easily satisfy himself that this plan possesses great advantages over the dogmatic procedure. No originality is claimed for it, for it is simply the inductive method employed by a large and increasing number of teachers. It will be clear that an essential feature of the plan is a constant effort to dovetail the facts of the science with the facts of every-day life in such a way that the student at no time gets the impression that he has attacked something quite foreign to his ordinary experience. Thus, the systematic classification of the elements, which completely determines the order of topics in a work of reference, should only be allowed a subordinate influence upon the arrangement of an elementary text. The book is not an abbreviated college text, nor a handbook subjected to hydraulic compression. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
