Freed, Josh
Moonwebs - Journey Into the Mind of a Cult
216 pages including bibliography. Moderate wear. Light soiling. Some yellowing to contents. Gives a first hand description of the Moonies Boonville indoctrination camp, which the aughor himself visited; and it tells Benji Miller's story of his own indoctrination - a powerful nightmarish account of a human mind taken apart then put back together at someone else's direction. It tells the thrilling, moving, sometimes funny story of a six week transcontinental odyssey to rescue a friend. Describes the deprogramming of Benji Miller; an eye-witness account of a virtual exorcism. Looks behind the mask of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon and his growing political and financial empire. Above all, offers a serious, penetrating look at cult 'brainwashing' techniques and their relationship to our society. The first book to look at what cults do to people... and how it can be undone.

Fresnel Augustin Jean
MEMOIRE SUR LA LOI DES MODIFICATIONS QUE LA REFLEXION IMPRIME A LA LUMIERE POLARISEE
<p>Paris: L'Academie des Science 1823. 4to green boards boards scuffed minor spotting in margins otherwise generally in very good condition. Offprint from the Academy of Sciences. Fresnel at a young showed great aptitude in the sciences and qualified as an engineer at an early age. He began researching theories on light and polarisation and further developed the wave-theory of light. He became a member of the Academie des Sciences in 1823 and in the same year had his work on light polarisation published. In 1827 he received the Royal Society's Rumford Medal and being of weak constitution died a few days later at the age of 39. His work extended also to the distribution of light from lighthouses by way of a special lens rather than by reflectors. Fresnel's calculations on lenses and reflecting systems are still the foundations of lighthouse design. Biographical Dictionary of Scientists.</p> L\'Academie des Science, hardcover

M�moire Sur la Diffraction de la lumi�re o� l'on examine particuli�rement le ph�nom�ne des franges color�es que pr�sentent les ombres des corps �clair�s par un point lumineux. Memoir on the Diffraction of Light.
Paris Crochard 1816 No wrappers. In: 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique' Tome I Sec. Series Cahier Mars 1816. With htitle to vol. I. Pp. 225-336 and 1 folded engraved plate. The entire issue offered. Fresnel's paper: pp. 239-281. The plate shows the diffraction patterns. � First appearance of Fresnel's landmark m�moir - this m�moir was his first paper on diffraction and was later given the prize of the French Academy and published in Memoires de l'Academie in 1826 in full together with his further developments of his light theory - in which he for the first time explained the causes of the diffraction effects as the mutual interference of the secondary waves emitted by those portions of the original wave-front which have not been obstructed by the diffraction screen. His methods of calculation utilized the principles of both Huygens and Young and he summed the effects due to different portions of the same primary wave-front. The memoir records also Fresnel's famous mirror-experiment.<br><br>"In broad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics." DSB V p. 171.<br><br>"Augustin Fresnel seems to have adopted a wave theory of light from the very beginning of his studies. His first paper presented to the Academy.in October 1815 and entitled "La Diffraction de la Lumiere" the paper offered was written after a long correspondance with Arago who had promised Fresnel his full support. "The wave theory" Fresnel wrote "is well suited to explaining the complicated propagation of light phenomena and since as we know from the case of sound waves can surcomvent obstacles I decided to make a study of shadows.It is because they cross in regions common to them both that two pencils of rays can produce fringes. hence it follows that the vibrations of rays which cross at very small angles can cancel out whenever crests of one correspond to the throughs of the other." unknown

Brownspots to titlepage and some browspots to the second memoir. � First editions of two importent memoirs on polarization and reflexion of light by "the founder of the new optics".<br><br>The first paper takes on a central role in Fresnel's dealing with polarization in general and specially with chromatioc polarization and the explaining the phenomena that arises when light travels through crystals. The paper was read at the Academy on march 30 was not printed at the time as it disappeared and only turned up many years later around 1845 when it was found in the papers of Fresnel's brother. "On croyait ou M�moire perdu. Il a �t� retrouv� dans les papiers de M. L�onor Fresnel fr�re de l'illustre acad�micien." Thus the offered paper is here PRINTED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IN ITS FULL LENGHT.<br><br>The second paper deals with reflection and explains the different phenomena seen when light is reflected from glassplates having two surfaces parallel or with curvature interference of reflected waves and the measure of their different wavelenghts all explained according to the wave theory of light. The paper offered is for the FIRST TIME PRINTED IN ITS FULL LENGHT as it only appeared in the r�sum�-form in 1820 "R�sum� d'un M�moire sur la R�flexion de la lumi�re" Annales de Chimie et de Physique tome 15 pp. 379-386.<br><br>"As it was Fresnel succeeded fully in attaining his explicit goal the establishment of the wave conception of light. Not long after his death scientific opinion definitely shiftedin favor of waves and opened up the pathway leading to the deeper insight of Maxwell. In broad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics."

These two papers won the Academy's prize for 1818 and were later expanded and published as a long memoir in 1826. The first paper offered initiated the attack on the corpuscular theory of light which was completely owerthrown by a series of succesfull papers by Fresnel the next few years. In the second paper Fresnel summed up all his work prior to this date in completed form. The paper is called "extract" but the longer memoir was not published until 1826. The paper is A CLASSIC IN PHYSICS.<br><br>"In broad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics." DSB V p. 171.<br><br>Diffraction arises because of the way in which waves propagate; this is described by the Huygens-Fresnel principle. The propagation of a wave can be visualized by considering every point on a wavefront as a point source for a secondary radial wave. The subsequent propagation and addition of all these radial waves form the new wavefront. When waves are added together their sum is determined by the relative phases as well as the amplitudes of the individual waves an effect which is often known as wave interference. The summed amplitude of the waves can have any value between zero and the sum of the individual amplitudes. Hence diffraction patterns usually have a series of maxima and minima.

His study of light was a dynamic interplay between theory and observation between mathematics and experiment. - The offered series also comprises the contributions from Arago and the rapports from The French Academy's committees by Amp�re Biot and Fourier - see below nos. 6111415a.nd 18.<br><br>"From the point of view of method his investigations extended from the manual operations of the laboratory to the most abstract mathematical analyses. Few physicists since Newton had been so versatile."Silliman in "Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences" vol. 4 p. 155.<br><br>"The wave-thory at this time was still encumbered with difficulties. Diffraction was not satisfactorily explained; for polarization no explanation of any kind was forthcoming; the Huygenian construction appeared to require two different luminiferous media within double refracting bodies; and the universality of that construction had been impugned by Brewster's discovery of biaxial crystals. The upholders of the emission theory emboldened by the success of Laplace's theory of double refraction thought the time ripe for their final triunph; and as a step to this in March 1817 they proposed Diffration as the subject of the Academy's prize for 1818. Their expectation was disappointed; and the successful memoir afforded the first of a series of reverses of which in the short space of seven years the corpuscular theory was completely owerthrown. The author was Augustin Fresnel."Whittaker "A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity" vol. 1 p.107 ff.<br><br>"This concept of transverse waves met with the greatest hostility from the scientists of the day who could not imagine an extremely fluid and rarified ether which at the same time possessed the mechanical properties of a rigid body. Even Arago admitted that he could not follow the exuberant engineer in his ideas. ButFresnel was convinced that at last he had the key to many mysteries and with his model of waves he gave a full clarification of the phenomena of polarization. With insuperable precision he explained a long series of extremely complicated experiments such as those of chromatic polarization that Arago himself had discovered by chance in 1811 and which the followers of Newton could not explain in spite of all their efforts. Following this line Fresnel reached the synthesis which is his masterpiece.we must recall the final interpretation that he gave of the famous phenomenon of partial reflection by transparent surfaces that simple phenomenon which until then had puzzled Grimaldi Newton and Huygens and which in Malus's experiments had unexpectedly acquired a special importencee as it had been compared to the great mystery of double refraction."Ronchi "The Nature of Light" p. 255 ff.<br><br>Comprising:<br>1.

Biot Arago Ampee: pp. 80-102 225-258 a. 258-273. � First printing of these milestone papers in which Fresnel finally established the transversal nature of lightwaves. The volume also having the notable rapports and notes by Arago Biot Ampere exhibiting the famous controversy over the subject.<br>"This concept of transverse waves met with the greatest hostility from the scientists of the day who could not imagine an extremely fluid and rarified ether which at the same time possessed the mechanical properties of a rigid body. Even Arago admitted that he could not follow the exuberant engineer in his ideas. But Fresnel was convinced that at last he had the key to many mysteries and with his model of waves he gave a full clarification of the phenomena of polarization. With insuperable precision he explained a long series of extremely complicated experiments such as those of chromatic polarization that Arago himself had discovered by chance in 1811 and which the followers of Newton could not explain in spite of all their efforts. Following this line Fresnel reached the synthesis which is his masterpiece.we must recall the final interpretation that he gave of the famous phenomenon of partial reflection by transparent surfaces that simple phenomenon which until then had puzzled Grimaldi Newton and Huygens and which in Malus's experiments had unexpectedly acquired a special importencee as it had been compared to the great mystery of double refraction."Ronchi "The Nature of Light" p. 255 ff. hardcover

FRESNEL AUGUSTIN. EXPOUNDING THE WAVE THEORY OF LIGHT.
Ueber die durch polarisirtes Lichts in homogenen Fl�ssigkeiten hervorgebrachten Farben. .der Pariser Academie am 30. M�rz 1818 vorgelegt. Ueber die Reflexion des Lichts. Der Pariser Academie vorgelegt am 15. Nov. 1819. 2 M�moirs.
Leipzig Johann Ambrosius Barth 1848. Without wrappers. In "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff" Erg�nzungsbd. Bd. II St�ck 2. Titlepage to Erg-Bd. 2. Pp. 193-368. The entire issue offered. Fresnel's papers: pp. 304-331 textillustr. a. pp. 332-355 textillustr. A stamp on titlepage and verso of. Clean and fine. � First German editions of two importent memoirs on polarization and reflexion of light by "the founder of the new optics". The French versions of the papers appeared in "Annales de Chimie et de Physique"1846.<br><br>The first paper takes on a central role in Fresnel's dealing with polarization in general and specially with chromatioc polarization and the explaining the phenomena that arises when light travels through crystals. The paper was read at the Academy on march 30 was not printed at the time as it disappeared and only turned up many years later around 1845 when it was found in the papers of Fresnel's brother. "On croyait ou M�moire perdu. Il a �t� retrouv� dans les papiers de M. L�onor Fresnel fr�re de l'illustre acad�micien." Thus the offered paper is here PRINTED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IN ITS FULL LENGHT in the German version.<br><br>The second paper deals with reflection and explains the different phenomena seen when light is reflected from glassplates having two surfaces parallel or with curvature interference of reflected waves and the measure of their different wavelenghts all explained according to the wave theory of light. The paper offered is for the FIRST TIME PRINTED IN ITS FULL LENGHT in the German version as it only appeared in the r�sum�-form in 1820 "R�sum� d'un M�moire sur la R�flexion de la lumi�re" Annales de Chimie et de Physique tome 15 pp. 379-386.<br><br>"As it was Fresnel succeeded fully in attaining his explicit goal the establishment of the wave conception of light. Not long after his death scientific opinion definitely shiftedin favor of waves and opened up the pathway leading to the deeper insight of Maxwell. In broad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics."

Leipzig Joh. Ambrosius Barth 1833. Contemp. hcalf. Spine gilt. Very light wear to spine ends and edges. In: "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff" Jahrgang 1833 Bd. 30 Erg�ntzungsheft. 376 pp. a. 2 folded engraved plates. 2 small stamps to p.1 and a small stamp to verso of plates. Entire volume offered. Fresnel's papers: pp. 100-255 a. pp. 255-261. Clean and fine. � First German edition of Fresnel's epoch-making memoir from the French Academy 1826 and incorporating his experimental results from the years 1815-19 in which he for the first time explained the causes of the diffraction effects as the mutual interference of the secondary waves emitted by those portions of the original wave-front which have not been obstructed by the diffraction screen. His methods of calculation utilized the principles of both Huygens and Young and he summed the effects due to different portions of the same primary wave-front. He demonstrates that the transverse wave theory of light explains the observed phenomena of reflection refraction interference polarization difraction patterns diffraction fringes etc. making a strong case for the theory of the transverse nature of light waves. The memoir records also Fresnel's famous mirror-experiment.<br><br>"In broad contect Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics." DSB V p. 171.<br><br>"Augustin Fresnel seems to have adopted a wave theory of light from the very beginning of his studies. His first paper presented to the Academy.in October 1815 and entitled "La Diffraction de la Lumiere" the paper offered was written after a long correspondance with Arago who had promised Fresnel his full support. "The wave theory" Fresnel wrote "is well suited to explaining the complicated propagation of light phenomena and since as we know from the case of sound waves can surcomvent obstacles I decided to make a study of shadows.It is because they cross in regions common to them both that two pencils of rays can produce fringes. hence it follows that the vibrations of rays which cross at very small angles can cancel out whenever crests of one correspond to the throughs of the other."<br><br>The voume contains further a notable paper by AMP�RE "Bestimmung der krummen Fl�che der Lichtswellen in einem Mittel dessen Elasticit�t verschieden ist nach den drei Hauptrichtungen d.h. nach debjenigen in welchem die von der Elasticit�t erregte Kraft in desselben Richtung wirkt in der die Theilchen dieses Mittels verschoben wurden."
