Abstract
DOES any need exist to do more than tell the reader that Prof. Bridgman discusses, in this compact volume, thermo-electric phenomena, the thermo-dynamic analysis of the Volta effect, thermionic phenomena, the effect of surface charge on vapour pressureand electron emission, thermo-electric phenomena in crystals, transverse phenomena, and connexions with the electron theory of metals and photo-electric phenomena? What everlie discusses, new or old, recondite or obvious, Prof. Bridgman can be trusted to invest with an added interest, for the matter under review has passed through the crucible of a vigorous and inquiring mind. The volume may be heartily commended.
The Thermodynamics of Electrical Phenomena in Metals.
By P. W. Bridgman. Pp. vii + 200. (New York: The Macmillan Co., 1934.) 16s. net.
