Battle of Waterloo

Under his father s tutelage until age 16, Sadi entered the Ecole Polytechnique (which his father had helped to found) to pursue a career in military engineering. However, the continued political turmoil, including his father s exile after the Battle of Waterloo, brought considerable disappointment and frustration to the self-effacing young military officer. He thereupon took retirement from active military service in 1818 to pursue personal studies in Paris, with roommate Hippolyte. Sadi s broad interests in mathematics, physics, chemistry, natural history, literature, music, and athletics were combined with... [Pg.118]

Of the reactions of nitric oxide with the halogens, the one with chlorine has been most extensively studied. Apparently, this reaction was first reported by Gay Lussac shortly before the Battle of Waterloo. Although almost all the early work (prior to 1938) was interpreted in terms of a termolecular reaction to form nitrosyl chloride... [Pg.250]

Prepare the moment, and then let it play. If you re building toward the battle of Waterloo or a lifesaving operation or a statewide volle5d)all tournament, get us there and then let it play for a bit. Audiences need a respite from the talking they need time to feel those moments of humor or pathos or fear. Anticipate those moments and build them in, whether it means a moment of silence or a moment with music or just action and sync sound. This is also true when the information is very complex and needs to be processed, or when it s very funny and the audience needs time to laugh. [Pg.221]

The battle of Waterloo is also a member in a class, namely the class of all battles fought with firearms, which is a universal concept. In the same sense, my dog Lux, an individual concept, is an element in the classes of dogs, or mammals, which can be seen as universal concepts. The concept of all dogs that live in Vienna today evidently is a class concept, but in this case a class concept that is tied to the proper name Vienna. It is, therefore, an individual class concept (Popper, 1979 239, 1976 14 i.e., a concept of a particular, instead of a universal, class). [Pg.65]

Popper s notion of individuals is firmly rooted in logic spatio-temporally restricted particulars as opposed to universals. Some authors used a similar notion of individuals in the sense of natural individuals (Ghiselin, 1974). The battle of Waterloo or Vienna thus became natural individuals, as did, indeed, biological species or taxa in general (see Rieppel, 1986 for a review and references the notion of natural individual is discussed in Boyd, 1999). In this context it is interesting to follow Popper (1976 14) in his exploration of... [Pg.65]

Adour in 1813, but it was at the battle of Leipzig in 1813 that it achieved its greatest renown. It also rendered good service at Waterloo in 1815 and during the War of 1812 between the US and Gt Britain... [Pg.134]
