SOBRERO ASCAGNE. THE DISCOVERY OF NITROGLYCERIN.
Sur plusieur compos�s d�tonants produits avec l'acide nitrique et le sucre la dextrine la lactine la mannite et la glyc�rine.
Paris Bachelier1847. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des S�ances de L'Academie des Sciences" Tome XXIV No. 7. Pp. 209- 252. Entire issue offered. Sobrero's paper: pp. 247-248. Clean and fine. � First appearance of the paper in which Sobrero announced his discovery of nitroglycerin.<br><br>"When I think of all the victims killed during nitroglycerine explosions and the terrible havoc that has been wreaked which in all probability will continue to occur in the future I am almost ashamed to admit to be its discoverer." Sobrero<br><br>"Nitroglycerin was synthesized by the chemist Ascagne Sobrero in the middle of the nineteenth century. When he tasted it as all good nineteenth century chemists did when they discovered a new compound it gave him what he called a migraine because of its vasodilatory effect which was later harnessed in the treatment of angina by William Murrell 1879 following the experience of a distinguished British clinician Lauder Brunton using amyl nitrite 1867 <br> Later in the nineteenth century Alfred Nobel discovered how to stabilize nitroglycerin using kieselguhr diatomite clay; this led to highly successful industrial applications of dynamite and created the fortune that eventually funded the eponymous prizes. For medical purposes nitroglycerin was subsequently renamed glyceryl trinitrate to hide the fact that it was literally dynamite as well as metaphorically." unknown

STEENSTRUP JOHANNES JAPETUS SMITH. THE DISCOVERY OF "ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS''.
Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsr�kker en s�regen Form for Opfostringen i de lavere Dyrklasser. On Reproduction and Development through Alternation of Generations a Special Form of Propagation in Lower Animals. Unders�gelser over Hermaphroditismens Tilv�relse i Naturen. Et natyurhistorisk Fors�g.
Kj�benhavn Bianco Luno 1842 a. 1845. 4to. Bound in one contemp. halfcalf spine gilt. A small tear to backhinge at lower compartment of spine. IV76 pp. and 3 double-page folded lithographed plates with many figs. XIV88 pp. and 2 double-apge lithographed plates with many figs. Light browning to the last leaves of the second work. � The scarce first edition of the work in which Steenstrup describes his discovery of the principle of 'ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS'' sexual and asexual in plants and animals. <br>"Steenstrup showed that certain animals produce offspring which never resemble them but which on the other hand bring forth progeny which return in form and nature to their grandparents or more distant ancestors." Garrison & Morton No 217. A German translation was published the same year and an English in 1845. Norman 2009 German translation. <br><br>"The second major publication - the first dealing with geology - of 1842 was "Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsr�kker." the work offered Steenstrup's comprehensive presentation of the form of reproduction that he called 'alternation of generations' that is the alternation of asexual and sexual reproduction or metagenesis. This phenomenon had previously been described by Chamisso but Steenstrup included a greater number of observations based on a significantly wider range of subjects and provided an importent chapter on its meaning. Steenstrup's growing reputation won him an appointment as professor of zoology at the University of Copenhagen where he tought from 1846 until 1885."DSB XII p. 9. unknown

STERN O. OTTO + WALTHER GERLACH. DISCOVERY OF SPATIAL QUANTIZATION THE STERN GERLACH EXPERIMENT
Ein Weg zur experimentellen Pr�fung der Richtungsquantelung im Magnetfeld in: Zeitschr. f�r Physik vol. 7 1921: Der experimentelle Nachweis des magnetischen Moments des Silberatoms in Zeitschr. f�r Physik vol. 8 1922
Berlin Julius Springer 1921 & 1922. 8vo. Bound in two uniform contemporary. In "Zeitschrift f�r Physik" Vol. 7 8 & 9 1922. All three volumes offered. Both with library stamp to title page and light wear to extremities. A fine set. Pp. 249-53; 110-11; 349-55. Entire volumes: VI 414 pp; IV 419 pp.; IV 412 pp. � First printing of Stern and Gerlach's seminal papers in which the first spatial quantization atomic magnetic moments was first presented. With these papers the first clear proof for the spin of the electron appeared profoundly influencing the world of physics. The discovery of the deflection of particles is often used to illustrate basic principles of quantum mechanics and demonstrates that electrons and atoms have inherent quantum properties.<br><br>Spatial quantization had been introduced merely as a theoretical concept by Sommerfeld in 1916 but no one before Stern had ever empirically demonstrated its existence and some physicists even considered it to be nothing more than a mathematical tool. In his 1921-paper Stern proposed an empirical test:<br>"The idea for the experiment proposed by Stern was simple enough. A beam of silver atoms is produced by letting silver evaporate in an oven with a small opening. The beam is collimated and travels in X direction until it falls on a glass plate. Between collimators and plate an inhomogeneous magnetic field is produced. It points in y direction and also changes its strength as a function of y. If the atoms possess a magnetic moment the field pulls them away from the X axis. If the moments are oriented at random there will be a broadening of the beam.

A beam of silver atoms is produced by letting silver evaporate in an oven with a small opening. The beam is collimated and travels in X direction until it falls on a glass plate.

Stone, Robert S.
The Secret Life of Your Cells
192 pages. Explores the latest research of Cleve Backster, who by attaching a lie-detector to the leaf of a plant discovered that it had feelings and the ability to read our thoughts. Now this ability - primary perception - has been traced even to disconnected cells of our own bodies. The implications and possibilities of that discovery, and the difficult struggle it has had in finding acceptance in the tradition-bound scientific community makes exciting, challenging, mind-expanding reading. Unmarked. Crease to one page. Small bookseller's label inside front cover. Very light wear. Glossy illustrated covers. Nice copy. Book

Storck, Anton, Freiherr Von.
LIBELLUS, QUO DEMONSTRATUR. [BOUND WITH] Libellus Secundus. [BOUND WITH] Supplementum Necessarium. Three Works in One Volume.
Full Title: "LIBELLUS, QUO DEMONSTRATUR: CICUTAM Non solum usu interno tutissime exhiberi, sed et esse simul remedium valde utile in multis morbis, qui hucusque curatu impossibiles dicebantur. Editio Altera. [BOUND WITH] Libellus Secundus. [BOUND WITH] Supplementum Necessarium. Three volumes in one." pp. (16), 110; 292; 67 + Wonderful folding engraved plate of the Giant Hemlock. Foxed. 8vo. Contemporary French full mottled leather binding, slightly worn at extremities. Manuscript of the first owner, a physician, (J. F.?) Coste. An important work on the medical properties and other aspects of hemlock, aconite, hyoscyamus, colchicum, etc. Before this publication, these plants were considered highly poisonous and had been rarely used in medicine owing to the difficulty of accurately estimating their doses and the danger this presented to the patient. Anton Storck, a 19-year-old Viennese doctor, in 1760 repeatedly sipped tea laced with hemlock, said to be the suicide drug of Socrates and believed in Storck's time to be beneficial against pain. The experiment so terrified Storck that he lost the ability to speak temporarily, but he suffered no lasting ill effects, and went on to publish this study. There is a direct line from Storck to the Americans Frederick Prescott and Scott Smith, who in the 1940s had themselves so paralyzed temporarily by curare that not even an eyelid could blink, thus demonstrating that the deadly poison could immobilize patients and revolutionize surgery. Throughout medical history researchers have served deliberately as guinea pigs because animal experiments can work only up to a point. Blake, p. 434; Waring 379. Quite scarce and important. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W153
