A Treatise On The Action Of Vis Inertiae In The Ocean is a book written by William Leighton Jordan and published in 1868. The book explores the concept of vis inertiae, or the tendency of matter to resist changes in motion, in relation to the ocean. Jordan argues that this force plays a significant role in the movement of ocean currents, tides, and waves. He draws on observations from sailors and scientists to support his theories and offers mathematical calculations to explain the mechanics of vis inertiae in the ocean. The book is written in a scientific and technical style, with a focus on the physics and mechanics of oceanic motion. Overall, A Treatise On The Action Of Vis Inertiae In The Ocean is a pioneering work in the field of oceanography and an important contribution to our understanding of the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
