Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire," along with other papers in this volume, laid the foundation of modern thermodynamics. Highly readable, "Reflections" contains no arguments that depend on calculus, consisting mostly of statements couched in exact language. It represents a tribute to Carnot's capacity to generalize, and to see fundamental processes at work in complex mechanisms."Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire" examines the relation between heat and the work done by heat in high- and low-pressure steam engines, air-engines, and an internal combustion machine. Carnot established conditions for the economical working of these engines and invented the closed cycle of operations. He realized that in any engine, the amount of work done by heat is determined solely by the range of temperature through which it fell in the operation. He extended the ideas of his father, Lazare Carnot, on mechanics to thermal processes, deriving statements on the impossibility of perpetual motion and the need to avoid irreversible changes.
Little notice was paid to this book upon its 1824 publication; ten years later, Emile Clapeyron's more analytical paper on the same subject received wider attention. This English translation includes selections from Carnot's posthumous manuscripts and a paper by Rudolf Clausius that rewrote Carnot's results in a terminology that distinguished between change of entropy and quantity of heat.

I've been using for a month
I've been using the "Free to Be Me" internal supplement for a month and I noticed a difference after a week or two, and I'm very pleased to report that I am a repeat customer and will put this on subscription. I've been a Puriya customer for many years, and use Mother of All Creams daily. Adding this product has made a real difference.
My skin is sensitive in that light touches, such as hair, feathers, and even bed covers, cause an itching reaction. It's not as bad now. I have noticed less itching at bedtime and am wearing my hair down more often. I think the effect is cumulative, and the ingredients must be nourishing in a way that my body needs. I've heard that the skin is the first line of defense in the body, so I'm fortunate to find products like these that are reasonably priced for the quality, and that I can use in comfort, knowing that I am not using ingredients that are harsh in the body.

This product really Works !! Wow , I have had Ezema for 30 years and this helps !!!
I really was tired after 30 years of using expensive ointments and creams .. So hesitant about a pill formula, I said, Why not ? And I do love this Company! I had used the Mother of All Creams before and loved it but the price got a little too expensive? But I still love it ! So I tried this pill for my Ezema and let me tell you something, I was amazed at how fast it cured up my red itchy rash that had annoyed me for all last Summer ! I had even been bitten by a tick and it did not even itch !! Not joking People ! But it says take 2 pills a day , I take 3 daily because my Ezema is Chronic ! Thanks so much Puriya !! And please keep producing this product !!! M.W.

Not a recommend , was refunded
Again, maybe it helps others. Does nothing for me. I went all out and purchased the face wash, Mother of all Creams and these supplements. My skin actually got more itchy and felt greasy. So over $70. down the drain for me. The company refunded me for all 3 items. They stand behind their product. Perhaps I have a sensitivity or something of an allergy to an ingredient or 2 in the formulas. I followed instructions and it was after about a week and a half of use I just had to stop. I have always had sensitive skin.
