Published on Jun 12, 2012 James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 -- September 14, 1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. He is best remembered as a novelist who wrote numerous sea-stories and the historical novels known as the Leatherstocking Tales, featuring frontiersman Natty Bumppo. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece. The Last of the Mohicans: A Narrative of 1757 is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper, first published in February 1826. It is the second book of the Leatherstocking Tales pentalogy and the best known. The Pathfinder, published 14 years later in 1840, is its sequel. The story takes place in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years' War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of the North American colonies. The story takes place "Just West of the Cuyahoga", in the Cleveland, Ohio, Metropark regions in Lorain and Cuyahoga counties. During this war, the French called on allied Native American tribes to fight against the more numerous British colonists in this region. While the book does take liberty in the exact location of the battles depicted, it is believed that the ending battle took place in the French Creek Reserve in Avon, Ohio and Sheffield, Ohio. Cooper named a principal character Uncas after a well-known Mohegan sachem (a head chief) who had been an ally of the English in 17th-century Connecticut. Cooper seemed to confuse or merge the names of the two tribes—Mohegan and Mahican. Cooper's well-known book helped confuse popular understanding of the tribes to the present day. After the death of John Uncas in 1842, the last surviving male descendant of Uncas, the Newark Daily Advertiser wrote, "Last of the Mohegans Gone," lamenting the extinction of the tribe. The writer did not realize the Mohegan people still existed. They continue to survive today and are a federally recognized tribe based in Connecticut. The Mahican were based in the Hudson River Valley and continue to survive today as a federally recognized Indian tribe as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin. The novel was one of the most popular in English in its time, although critics identified narrative flaws. Its length and formal prose style have limited its appeal to later readers, yet The Last of the Mohicans remains widely read in American literature courses. The character Chingachgook speaks a line that holds the title, saying, "[W]hen Uncas follows in my footsteps, there will no longer be any of the blood of the sagamores, for my boy is the last of the Mohicans." The title is also referred to near the end of the book, when Tamenund says, "I have lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans."

Give a year in the life of Scottish chemist and physicist James Dewar? | James Dewar - Graces Guide Grace's Guide British Industrial History Grace's Guide is the leading source of historical information on industry and manufacturing in Britain. This web publication contains 121,926 pages of information and 183,284 images on early companies, their products and the people who designed and built them. James Dewar Professor James Dewar (1842-1923) FRS, was a Scottish chemist and physicist. 1842 September 20th. Born 1886 Lectured at the Royal Institution of Great Britain on 'The Story of a Meteorite'. [1] He is probably best-known today for his invention of the Dewar flask, which he used in conjunction with extensive research into the liquefaction of gases. He was also particularly interested in atomic and molecular spectroscopy, working in these fields for more than 25 years. 1923 Died on 27th March 1923. 1923 Obituary [2] "The scientific world is very much the poorer by the death of Sir James Dewar, which took place early in the morning of Tuesday of this week. Sir James was not, strictly speaking, an engineer, but his life's work marched o nearly hand in hand with engineering that our profession must mourn his loss almost equally with that of the chemist, with which his career was more particularly identified. One is accustomed to associate with the Royal Institution of Great Britain the idea of progress, and Dewar, as occupying the position of Fullerian Professor of Chemistry in that historic building, ably upheld its traditions in that respect. All the world knows of his researches into the phenomena witnessed, and the behaviour of materials, at extremely low temperatures, and it will probably be in connection with his discoveries in that direction that his name will most prominently go down to posterity. His invention of the vacuum flask, now known universally as the Thermos flask , was really incidental to his other discoveries in the domain of cold, but it has proved of very considerable value to the world at large, seeing that by its means hot liquids can be kept hot, and cold liquids cold, almost indefinitely. What he sought to discover and what he did discover was a vessel in which he might store for reasonable periods without serious loss such bodies as liquid air. But he must evidently have realised what a boon his invention must confer on mankind in general, and, seeking not emolument for himself, he proclaimed his discovery to the world. He did not, we believe, make a penny piece out of it. Then, too, his researches made feasible the commercial isolation of gases in a manner impossible before, and revealed many secrets which otherwise would have remained long hidden. Nor must it be forgotten that to him, in collaboration with the late Sir Frederick Abel , is due the discovery of the smokeless "powder" used by the British Army and Navy - cordite. We make no attempt at giving a life history of this most distinguished Scotsman - he was born in Kincardine-on-Forth in the year 1842- but add our lament to that of scientist the world over that he was not spared for many years longer to carry on the beneficent work which has been of such good service to humanity at large." 1923 Obituary [3] SIR JAMES DEWAR, M.A., F.R.S., was born at Kincardine-on-Forth on the 20th September, 1842. After being educated at Dollar Academy he went to Edinburgh University, where he was a pupil of, and later became assistant to, Lord Playfair, who was at that time Professor of Chemistry. In 1875 he was appointed Jacksonian Professor of Natural Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge. Two years later, in 1877, he became Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution and retained that position until his death, which occurred on the 27th March, 1923. His important researches on the liquefaction of gases and the properties of matter at temperatures approaching absolute zero were carried out at that Institution. By 1886 he had produced oxygen in the solid state, and by 1891 he was making liquid air in large quantities. In the following year he invented the vacuum container in which liqu |

define specific volume | In thermodynamics, the specific volume of a substance is the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density and an intrinsic property of matter as well. Specific volume is defined as the number of cubic meters occupied by one kilogram of a particular substance. The standard unit is the meter cubed per kilogram. Specific volume for an ideal gas is also equal to the gas constant (R) multiplied by the temperature and then divided by the pressure. |
