The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice: Vol. 1 - 2nd Edition, Revised: Thermodynamics, Fluid Flow, Performance
( This revised edition of Taylor's classic work on the in...)
This revised edition of Taylor's classic work on the internal-combustion engine incorporates changes and additions in engine design and control that have been brought on by the world petroleum crisis, the subsequent emphasis on fuel economy, and the legal restraints on air pollution. The fundamentals and the topical organization, however, remain the same. The analytic rather than merely descriptive treatment of actual engine cycles, the exhaustive studies of air capacity, heat flow, friction, and the effects of cylinder size, and the emphasis on application have been preserved. These are the basic qualities that have made Taylor's work indispensable to more than one generation of engineers and designers of internal-combustion engines, as well as to teachers and graduate students in the fields of power, internal-combustion engineering, and general machine design.

On the Mechanical Treatment of Disease of the Hip-Joint
( About the Book History texts study and interpret the pa...)
About the Book History texts study and interpret the past as it may be understood from written documents. The period before written records is called prehistory. Historians use a narrative to examine and analyse past events, and attempt to objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect. Historical studies are not an end in themselves, but also a way of providing perspective on events taking place in the present. Also in this Book History derives from Greek historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation". It is the study of the past as described in written documents, with events occurring before written records being considered prehistory. World history is generally considered a teaching topic rather than a research topic. There are many history text books of varying quality, with some addressing the teaching of history or historiography, the process of undertaking research in history. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades. While these books may have occasional imperfections, we consider that only hand checking of every page ensures readable content without poor picture quality, blurred or missing text etc. That's why we: • republish only hand checked books; • that are high quality; • enabling readers to see classic books in original formats; that • are unlikely to have missing or blurred pages. You can search "Leopold Classic Library" in categories of your interest to find other books in our extensive collection. Happy reading!

Charles Fayette Taylor
Edit ProfileEducation
His early educational opportunities were few, and, though his decision to study medicine was made in his young manhood, it was not until he was twenty-eight years old that he was able to attend a course of lectures at New York Medical College during the summer and winter of 1855.
In 1856, when he was serving as apprentice to a physician in Burlington, Vt. , he was invited by the professors of the University of Vermont, because of his proficiency, to stand for public examination and as a result was awarded the degree of M. D.
Career
He sailed for England to study curative exercises and the Swedish system of Per Henrik Ling. In 1857 he began practice in New York, where for a time he was associated with his older brother, Dr. George H. Taylor. In 1861 he published The Theory and Practice of the Movement Cure, an effort to express ideas he had absorbed in London, but he later said that he "soon got over that infliction" and afterwards began to think his own thoughts. He never lost his interest in the "movement cure, " however, and always practised it on suitable cases, inventing many machines which increased the efficiency of this form of physical therapy.
His interest in spinal disease had been excited by Dr. John Murray Carnochan, but he had no remembrance of having observed a case before 1857. At that time, from the attitude of a patient, he made a correct diagnosis of spinal disease. His failure to relieve this and other cases made a tremendous impression upon him and led to his invention of "the spinal assistant, " designed to give protection to the diseased vertebrae through the principle of fixed points for adequate support. Relief and eventual cures followed. Patients multiplied.
Sound mechanical principle was served by accurate mechanical detail, and Taylor became the first great American surgeon-mechanic, planning and accurately fitting back braces and later many other types of orthopedic appliances for chronic bone, joint, and muscle lesions. But he was much more than a brace-maker.
Early in his life he recognized the influence of mental states upon physical conditions, and he constantly practised what has been described as "a common sense psychotherapy" with the happiest results. He also established a dispensary, and gave his services and his goods to the needy until his strength and his resources were threatened. Then with the help of rich friends and grateful patients he was instrumental in establishing the New York Orthopaedic Dispensary, from which developed the great New York Orthopaedic Dispensary and Hospital.
He published significant articles as important in their time as their titles suggest: Mechanical Treatment of Angular Curvature or Pott's Disease of the Spine (1863), Spinal Irritation or the Causes of Backache among American Women (1864), Infantile Paralysis (1867), Mechanical Treatment of Diseases of the Hip (1873), and "Emotional Prodigality" (Dental Cosmos, July 1879).
Tempted more than once to concentrate his practice on gynecology because of his success in handling gynecological cases and because of their large financial return, he chose the less lucrative field of orthopedic surgery, convinced of his ability to serve his fellows more completely in this branch of medicine.
About 1882 his health weakened, and after traveling widely abroad he settled in southern California. He died in Los Angeles.
Achievements
-
Taylor's great achievement lay in devising, and then applying, a method to relieve and eventually to cure a previously incurable disease, a spinal lesion known as Pott's disease (later discovered to be due to an infection of the bone by the bacillus of tuberculosis). He received several medals in honor of his work.

Membership
He was a member of numerous medical and scientific societies.
Personality
Possessed of great energy and an alert, inquiring mind, he was very modest at heart and felt throughout his life his lack of early education.
