Abstract
THE appearance of vol. 7 completes the publication of this great handbook of physical and technical mechanics (the successor to the famous Winkel-mann's “Handbuch der Physik”). Publication has proceeded at intervals since 1927, and previous parts have already been briefly reviewed in NATURE. The present volume is devoted to border-line branches of mechanics. Its articles and then authors are as follows: capillarity (Auerbach, 168 pp.), capillary chemistry (Freund-lich, 19 pp.), disperse systems and the Brownian motion (Fürth, 40 pp.), thermodynamics (Auer bach, 48 pp.) kinetic theory of gases (Auerbach, 52 pp.), statistical mechanics (Fürth, 48 pp.), fluctuations (Fürth, 32 pp.), theory of solid states (Braunbek, 38 pp.), atomic mechanics (Joos, 33 pp.), constitution of matter (Bennewitz, 27 pp.), chemical status and dynamics (Bennewitz, 34 pp.), adsorption (Blüh, 42 pp.), technical application of adsorption (Berl and Andress, 20 pp.), the flotation process (Berl and Schmitt, 20 pp.)> diffusion with out dividing walls (Fürth, 70 pp.), osmosis (Fürth, 35 pp.), technical applications of electro-osmosis (Berl and Andress, 8 pp.) solutions (Fürth, 46pp.), electro- and magneto-mechanics (Auerbach, 20 pp.). An alphabetical subject index to the whole of the seven volumes completes the work.
