What is the difference between heat capacity and specific heat of a material ?

The heat capacity of a material is the amount of heat transformed to raise unit mass of a material 1 degree in temperature.
The specific heat of a material is the ratio of the amount of heat transferred to raise unit mass of a material 1 degree in temperature to that required to raise unit mass of water 1 degree of temperature at some specified temperature.
For most engineering purposes, heat capacities may be assumed numerically equal to;specific heats.
