Conduction of Heat in Solids

This second edition hardcover shows typical ex-library wear, including library markings and stickers. The binding remains intact, though the corners and spine show signs of shelf wear. There is no dust jacket, and the cover has some scuff marks. Overall, the book is in good condition for its age, with clean pages and no inscriptions or signatures.

"Conduction of Heat in Solids" by H. S. Carslaw and J. C. Jaeger is a seminal text published by Oxford at the Clarendon Press in 1959. This second edition, printed in Oxford, builds upon the foundational work first introduced in 1946. Carslaw, an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Sydney, and Jaeger, a Professor of Geophysics at the Australian National University, bring authoritative insights into the study of heat conduction in solid materials. This edition is notable for its comprehensive treatment of mathematical models and physical principles, making it a valuable resource for physicists and engineers. Despite its age, the book remains a critical reference for those studying thermal analysis and solid-state physics. The book is an ex-library copy, indicating prior use in an academic setting, but it retains its scholarly significance. The absence of a dust jacket is noted, and the hardcover shows signs of library handling.
