Robert Mayer and the Conservation of Energy

The principle of the conservation of energy was among the most important developments of nineteenth-century physics, and Robert Mayer, a physician from a small city in Germany, was one of its codiscoverers. As ship's doctor on a voyage to the Dutch East Indies in 1840, Mayer noticed that the venous blood he let from a European seaman was lighter than he expected. This observation set off a train of reflections that led him first to conclude that there must be a quantitative relationship between heat and "motion" and then, over several years, to believe in the indestructibility and uncreatability of "force." Rejecting the commonly invoked influence of Naturphilosophie, Kenneth Caneva provides...

How To Win Any Negotiation (EasyRead Comfort Edition)

Robert Mayer's hobby is collecting negotiating tricks, and over the past 40 years he seems to have encountered nearly all of them. Here, he presents 38 techniques that just about anyone can learn to use to negotiate everything from house prices to car leases to executive salaries. Nevertheless, you'll encounter some bumps along the way. Meyer has to stretch a bit for his LANCER acronym, for example, and he sometimes lapses into jargon. Despite these minor problems, he is almost Solomonic in his ability to come up with ways to divide shares equitably among parties. getAbstract believes that both seasoned and novice negotiators can learn from Mayer's wisdom. Next time you're making an expensive purchase, you'll be able to put his ideas to good use.

From the violent Woolworth’s lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, working to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world. In t...

The Consumer Movement

Analyzing the consumer movement from sociological, economic, and political perspectives, Mayer argues that American consumer activists have successfully shaped public policy despite formidable obstacles. He details the history of consumer activism in the United States, looks at significant leaders, and examines the key components of the present movement. He measures its successes and failures, compares it with movements in other countries, shows how shrewd political maneuvering has combined with fortuitous circumstances to bring about legislation in the interest of consumers, and foresees the problems and issues that will spark the next wave of consumerism.
