The Net Advance of Physics:
History and Philosophy: Arthur Mangin

• WORKS: Mangin was an enormously popular writer of Belle Époque popular science. A list of his works (covering innumerable subjects, but mainly natural history and exploration/adventure) may be found on this page at IDREF--Autorités Sudoc; quite a few were translated into English, often in "expanded" versions. Only the few relevant to physical science are included below.
  • La navigation aérienne by Arthur Mangin [Tours: Alfred Mame, 1869]
  • The Earth and Its Treasures: A Description of the Metallic and Mineral Wealth of Nature by Arthur Mangin and W. H. Davenport Adams [London: Nelson, 1875]
  • Les phénomènes de l'air by Arthur Mangin [Tours: Alfred Mame, 1886]
