	Coat-of-arms of Sir Benjamin Thompson, HRE Count Rumford (1753-1814) - Numericana
		In the history of Science, Rumford is best remembered for making the first observation which would precipitate the downfall of the dubious "caloric" theory, which presented heat as a fluid.
		Rumford pointed out that the heat released in the boring of a cannon would have been enough to melt the metal if that heat had actually been "contained" in it to begin with (as the caloric theory was stating).
		Rumford even estimated the so-called mechanical equivalent of heat, well before a precise value was obtained by James Prescott Joule (1818-1889).

	Prizes Awarded by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences
		Given at the discretion of the Council of the Academy on the recommendation of a nominating committee, the prize is awarded to a person for his or her total literary achievement rather than for a specific work.
		This prize recognizes contributions to the fields of heat and light, broadly interpreted.
		First awarded in 1974, this prize was established to honor the noted sociologist and former president of the Academy and is awarded for contributions to the social sciences (broadly defined).

	Rumford Medal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1796, Benjamin Thompson, known as Count Rumford, gave $5000 separately to the Royal Society of London and the other by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences to give awards every two years for outstanding scientific research on heat or light.
		The Royal Society awards the Rumford Medal; the American Academy of Arts and Sciences awards the Rumford Prize.
		It is awarded in even years in recognition of an outstandingly important recent discovery in the field of thermal or optical properties of matter made by a scientist working in Europe, noting that Rumford was concerned to see recognised discoveries that tended to promote the good of mankind.
