"Liquid Drops and Globules, Their Formation and Movements" by Charles R. Darling is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work comprises a series of lectures aimed at popular audiences, where the author explores the fascinating behavior and properties of liquid drops and globules. The book delves into various phenomena surrounding liquids, focusing on their formation, movements, and the underlying principles of surface tension, making it an engaging read for both scientists and curious laypersons. The opening of the text sets the stage for an exploration of the common yet remarkable phenomena associated with liquid drops. Darling introduces the concept of a drop as a familiar object in nature that holds deeper scientific intrigue. He discusses the general properties of liquids, such as mobility and the ability to form an elastic boundary surface. The text also touches on the unique characteristics of liquid surfaces and how they interact with external forces, inviting readers to engage with a series of experiments and observations that reveal the complexity underlying what seems superficially simple: a drop of liquid.
