Excerpt from Service Chemistry a Manual of Chemistry and Metallurgy and Their Application in the Naval and Military ServicesAT no time in the world's history has the need for scientific knowledge in our two great Services been more important than at the present, whilst probably at no time has the period which could be devoted to acquiring it been shorter, and this book is an attempt to supply, as far as may be, a rational treatise on the more chemical side of the many subjects with which Officers are brought in almost daily contact.In the short time that can be devoted to subjects outside the professional Service routine, it is impossible to acquire a complete knowledge of any of the many branches of science that enter into modern Service work, but the authors have found from long experience that it is quite possible to so develop the purely theoretical side of a science as to lead naturally up to the more technical details of such Service questions as are necessary to a Naval or Military career.The technical side of a science is merely its adaptation to our special needs, and without a knowledge of the facts and laws that govern the results we desire to attain, a Service technology would be a mere collection of data, useless in the future and of but little present value. On the other hand, to attempt to educate a busy Officer of any branch in all the modern theories, before he had grasped the importance to him of their application, would be to court failure, and we have attempted so to formulate the funda mental facts and theories of modern chemistry as to form a firm foundation for their application to such questions as modern ex plosives, fuel problems, the physical and chemical characteristics of the metals and alloys, military ballooning, boiler incrustations.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
