John Leslie Books

Sir John Leslie was a Scottish mathematician and physicist whose research primarily focused on heat. He is recognized for his modern account of capillary action and the first artificial production of ice using an air pump. His experiments with radiant heat, demonstrated using the Leslie cube, highlighted the impact of surface properties on radiation. Leslie's legacy lies in his innovative experiments and instruments that advanced the understanding of thermal phenomena.
