A Dictionary of Applied Physics

Abstract

IT would be difficult to over-estimate the value of the contents of this book, and our debt of gratitude to Sir Richard Glazebrook for having collected and edited the articles is very great indeed. A certain amount of the information contained is new, and practically the whole of the remainder is inaccessible to the ordinary student.

A Dictionary of Applied Physics.

Edited by Sir Richard Glazebrook. In 5 volumes. Vol. 3: Meteorology, Metrology, and Measuring Apparatus. Pp. vii + 839. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1923.) 63s. net.
