PMM p. 210<br><br>This classic of Renaissance historiography is of the greatest importance to the development of the history of the Renaissance and of history of art and culture in general. More specifically Burckhardt here establishes the fact that the Renaissance came first in developing the human individuality to the highest degree. He places the earliest signs of "the modern European Spirit" in Florence which was a great contributing factor to the comprehension of this city as representing one of the highlights of European culture.<br><br>The Swiss historian of art and culture Jacob Chrisoph Burckhardt 1818-1897 contributed seminally to the historiography of these two fields. He is considered the discoverer of the Renaissance and with his main work he founded the study of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy and thereby the historical study of the Renaissance the society of which he dealt with all aspects of. <br>In general Burckhardt's works all constitute an original historical approach to the study of art culture social institutions etc. <br>As a highly respected scholar of Greek civilization Burckhardt with his original historiographical approach was highly admired by Nietzsche who also attended his lectures. The two kept in contact and corresponded frequently. Like Nietzsche Burckhardt was a great admirer of Schopenhauer and he greatly opposed the Hegelian interpretations of history.<br><br>". as in the case of other great historians such as Gibbon Ranke Macaulay no criticism of details can detract from the powerful spell which Burckhardt's book has exercised upon such widely different writers as Ruskin Nietzsche and Gobineau as well as upon innumerable lovers of the most magnificent period of European history."

He has written a number of important works within the field of agricultural science e.g. the famous "Lettres �crites d'Italie 1812-13 and the rural condition and economy of France. In time his focus turned to political matters and his excellent abilities for observation as well as his numerous relations to highly influential polititians and aristocrats enabled him to contribute importantly to the political history of his own century. His most important work within this field is his "Lettres de Saint-James" which traces all of the opinions of the reformists; it is this work which bestowed upon him the reputation of a skilled and important historian of contemporary politics and economy. <br><br>Barbier: 1261. unknown

XV 1 304 pp. Wih numerous illustrations most of them photographic. � First edition of this landmark work on the miserable living conditions of the poor immigrants in New York constituting one of the very earliest - and certainly the most popular and influential - attempts at making "the other half" i.e. the middle and upper classes aware of how the poor in New York actually lived. <br><br>Riis's work created attention to the neglected and overseen community that was the underprivileged in New York. In the long run the great success of the work created attention to the status living conditions and general health of the poor and it initiated social reform movements in all major North American cities. Furthermore the work is regarded the very first example of "muckraking" journalism and was the first to extensively use halftone photographic reproductions in a book.<br><br>Riis used a convincing combination of facts from Dr. Roger S. Tracy Registrar of Vital Statistics and his own talents as a photo journalist to make a hitherto unseen powerful description of the correlation between the high crime rate drunkenness and reckless behavior of the poor and their lack of proper homes. The statistical facts made it a relevant and sober work and lent it enough authority to the book's claims for it to be taken serious by city official. His groundbreaking photographs confirmed the dry numbers and "spoke directly to people's hearts". Pascal "Jacob Riis: Reporter and Reformer" p. 87. <br><br>Unlike all previously works on the living conditions of the poor "How the Other Half Lives" offered concrete solutions on how to improve living condition how to make the tenants improve their buildings and finally how the politicians and city officials could make the appropriate and necessary juridical changes.<br><br>The effect of the work was immediately seen and included: the tearing down of New York's worst tenements sweatshops and the reformation of the city's schools. The book led to a decade of improvements in Lower East Side conditions with garbage collection sewers and indoor plumbing all following soon after. <br><br>Because of the present work Riis quickly rose to fame and in 1895 he became close friends with Theodore Roosevelt then a New York City official who wrote of Riis: "Jacob Riis whom I am tempted to call the best American I ever knew although he was already a young man when he came hither from Denmark". After Roosevelt became President he wrote a tribute to Riis that started: "Recently a man well qualified to pass judgment alluded to Mr. Jacob A. Riis as "the most useful citizen of New York". Those fellow citizens of Mr. Riis who best know his work will be most apt to agree with this statement. The countless evils which lurk in the dark corners of our civic institutions which stalk abroad in the slums and have their permanent abode in the crowded tenement houses have met in Mr. Riis the most formidable opponent ever encountered by them in New York City."<br><br>The title refers to the French writer Fran�ois Rabelais who famously wrote in Pantagruel: "one half of the world does not know how the other half lives". As a work of journalism and of social criticism Riis's book still stands as a truly seminal testimony to how the lower classes lived at the turn of the century. Due to this work attention was eventually paid to them and their conditions bettered. hardcover

He dedicated the bulk of his speech to funerary rituals among ancient Greeks and Romans whom he revered. Grimm focused on ethnological descriptions of cremation practices but he also mentioned practical advantages like improvising hygiene saving space and making the transport of remains easier.

Any such field is either equal to K or is also rational i.e. L = KF for some rational function F. In geometrical terms this states that a non-constant rational map from the projective line to a curve C can only occur when C also has genus 0. That fact can be read off geometrically from the Riemann-Hurwitz formula.<br><br>"In addition Lueroth worked in other areas of mathematics far removed from algebraic geometry. He obtained partial proof of the topological in variance of dimension proved in 1911 by L. Brouwer and following the work of Staudt did research in complex geometry. He was also involved in the logical researches of his friend Schroder and published two books in applied mathematics and mechanics.

There were in all 5 solutions to the posed problem and Newton's solution was first printed in the Philosophical Transactions January 1697 and reprinted here. The solution proposed by L'Hopital not printed here was not published until 1988.<br><br>The brachistochrone problem was posed by Johann Bernoulli in Acta Eruditorum in June 1696. He introduced the problem as follows: "I Johann Bernoulli address the most brilliant mathematicians in the world. Nothing is more attractive to intelligent people than an honest challenging problem whose possible solution will bestow fame and remain as a lasting monument. Following the example set by Pascal Fermat etc. I hope to gain the gratitude of the whole scientific community by placing before the finest mathematicians of our time a problem which will test their methods and the strength of their intellect. If someone communicates to me the solution of the proposed problem I shall publicly declare him worthy of praise."<br><br> Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz deliberately tempted Newton with this problem. It is not surprising given the dispute over the calculus that Johann Bernoulli had included these words in his challenge:- <br>."there are fewer who are likely to solve our excellent problems aye fewer even among the very mathematicians who boast that they. have wonderfully extended its bounds by means of the golden theorems which they thought were known to no one but which in fact had long previously been published by others."<br><br>According to Newton's biographer Conduitt he solved the problem in an evening after returning home from the Royal Mint. Newton: <br>. "in the midst of the hurry of the great recoinage did not come home till four in the afternoon from the Tower very much tired but did not sleep till he had solved it which was by four in the morning."<br><br>Newton send his solution to his friend Charles Montague and Montague published anonymously in the Transactions. Newton's solution presented here in the Acta is also anonymous. The episode did not please Newton as he later wrote: "I do not love to be dunned pestered and teased by foreigners about mathematical things ." <br><br>After the competition Johann Bernoulli said ". my elder brother made up the fourth of these after Leibniz himself and Newton that the three great nations Germany England and France each one of their own to unite with myself in such a beautiful search all finding the same truth."<br><br>Struik Edt.

Some browning and brownspots to plates. � First printing of this milestone papers in the history of chemistry where Berzelius introduced his famous chemical symbolism the offered paper is the first on the subject - Leicester & Klickstein calls it the "Preliminary note whereby an element is generally represented by the first letter of its Latin name or in the event of elements having the same first letter by the first two letters. Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 see the note on p. 359 it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community. But once accepted they became the new international language of chemistry. <br><br>Berzelius "contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions moreover to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which with slight modification is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible "to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and after the determination of their relative weights present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but in England only after some considerable time."Findlay "A Hundred Years of Chemistry" p. 14.<br><br>Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1813 C. - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258 ff. - Holmberg 1813:28 a. hardcover
