LEWIS MERIWETHER & CLARK WILLIAM; MEMBERS OF THE CORPS OF DISCOVERY; MOULTON GARY E. EDITOR
The Lewis And Clark Journals Abridged Edition : An American Epic Of Discovery
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2004. Softcover. Brand new book. Following orders from President Thomas Jefferson Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out from their wintering camp in Illinois in 1804 to search for a river passage to the Pacific Ocean. In this riveting account editor Gary E. Moulton blends the narrative highlights of the Lewis and Clark journals so that the voices of the enlisted men and of Native peoples are heard alongside the words of the captains. All their triumphs and terrors are here�the thrill of seeing the vast herds of bison on the plains; the tensions and admiration in the first meetings with Indian peoples; Lewis's rapture at the stunning beauty of the Great Falls; the fear the captains felt when a devastating illness befell their Shoshone interpreter Sacagawea; the ordeal of crossing the Continental Divide; the kidnapping and rescuing of Lewis's dog Seaman; miserable days of cold and hunger; and Clark's joy at seeing the Pacific. The cultural differences between the corps and Native Americans make for living drama that at times provokes laughter but more often is poignant and at least once tragic. Gary E. Moulton is Thomas C. Sorensen Professor of American History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His editing of the Lewis and Clark journals earned him the J. Franklin Jameson Award of the American Historical Association and the Outstanding Research and Creative Activity Award from the University of Nebraska. "An invaluable and easily digestible account of the epic journey."�Booklist "What makes this single volume of journal selections more powerful than its contemporaries is the use of other corps members' diaries to provide further details about the journey. . . . This book will bring the expedition alive to a new generation of readers." �Library Journal "Masterfully edited and annotated by Gary E. Moulton."�St. Louis Post-Dispatch University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2004 paperback

LIBBY WF. WILLARD FRANK. THE DISCOVERY OF RADIOCARBON DATING W. F.
Four Papers: 1. Together with Arnold J.R. Radiocarbon Dates. - 2. Radiocarbon Dates II. - 3. Chicago Radiocarbon Dates III - 4. Chicago Radiocarbon Dates IV.
Chicago Illinois: Institute for Nuclear Studies University of Chicago 1951. 1951 1952 1954. 4to. All 4 with orig. printed wrappers being offprints from "Science" Vol. 113 114116 a. 119. - 10 pp. 6 pp. 91 pp. 6 pp. Light marginal stain to the first work. � First editions off-prints of all four papers which together constitute the first printed results of radiocarbon dating based on samples gathered by Libby and his co-workers. It was due to this discovery which revolutionized the practice of archaeology and other branches of science e.g. geology geophysics etc. that Libby received the Nobel Prize in 1960. <br><br>Willard F. Libby 1908-80 was a skilled chemist who is remembered today for having developed the process of carbon-14 dating which is now of the utmost importance to several branches of science. Libby studied chemistry at Berkeley California from where he obtained his doctorate in 1933; here he stayed on as first instructor and then associate professor. In 1941 he was recruited into the Manhattan Project. After the war he became professor at the University of Chicago at the Institute for Nuclear Studies. It was here that he made his seminal discovery namely that a hitherto rarely noticed isotope of carbon that called carbon-14 was absorbed by plants through photosynthesis and that after a plant died it would no longer absorb the carbon-14 causing its remains to gradually lose the carbon-14 that it had accumulated through radioactive decay. Thus by measuring how much carbon-14 was left in the dead plant material it would be possible to determine when it died. Libby now developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content and he began testing his technique also on things the dates of which were already known and found that it applied to all locations everywhere.<br><br>The isotope carbon-14 had first been isolated in 1940 by two of Libby's students while working on the atomic bomb project. It had been shown that carbon 14 was continually being formed by cosmic rays colliding with atmospheric nitrogen. Libby surmised that traces should always be found in air's carbon dioxide and that carbon 14 could be detected by modern devices in all products of life such as archaeology geology geophysics and other branches of science. It was in 1950 that he reduced the small amount of ancient wood to pure carbon and in measuring its radioactivity he deduced its age. After the announcement of this result scientists from around the worlds presented him with samples of items to date. <br><br>Naturally Libby's discovery caused general excitement within scientific circles; archaeologists geologists etc. now only needed something organic e.g. wood plant remains charcoal etc. to possibly date a find. The method is surprisingly accurate and only when dating things more than 10.000 years old does it become less accurate. <br><br>Libby received the Nobel Prize in 1960 for his discovery of methods to use carbon 14. unknown

xxii, 638, 6 (ads) pages. Fold-out map. Occasional black and white illustrations. "It has been my object in this work to give as clear an account as I was able of tracts of country previously unexplored, with their river systems, natural productions, and capabilities; and to bring before my countrymen, and all others interested in the cause of humanity, the misery entailed by the slave-trade in its inland phases - a subject on which I and my companions are the first who have had any opportunities of forming a judgement." - from Preface. "There must be something in the appearance of white men frightfully repulsive to the unsophisticated natives of Africa; for, on entering villages previously unvisited by Europeans, if we met a child... he would take to his heels in an agony of terror, such as we might feel if we met a live Egyptian mummy at the door of the British Museum." - from page 199. Fold-out map measures 24" wide by 17" high and is entitled "The River Shire, The Lakes Nyassa & Shirwa, The Lower Courses of the Rivers Zambesi & Rovuma" - based on the Astronomical observations and sketches of Dr. Livingstone, Constructed by John Arrowsmith, 1865.

LOCKYER JOSEPH NORMAN THE DISCOVERY OF HELIUM.
Spectroscopic Observations of the Sun.- No. II. Received November 19- Read November 19 and 26 1868. With additional notes Nov. 26 April 9 1869 Oct. 10 1869.
London Taylor and Sons 1870. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1869 Vol. 159 - Part I. Pp. 425-444 and 2 lithographed plates 1 with the spectrum of helium 1 with his spectroscope not requiring eclipses to function. Clean and fine. � First appearance of this milestone paper in chemistry physics and astronomy announcing the discovery of helium in the sun and naming it 'helium' for Helios the Greek God of the Sun. In the same paper he demonstrates his invention of the spectroscope by which the prominences of the sun could be observed and studied without an eclipse by leading the light from the very edge of the sun through a prism. - Helium was not discovered on the earth before 1895 by William Ramsay and it was Crookes who established its identity with the helium Lockyer observed in the spectrum of the sun.<br><br>"This the last discovery was announced on the same day by the French astronomer Janssen who was in India observing a total eclipse. As a result the French government some ten years later struck a medallion showing the heads of both scientists.<br>By that time the two men had made a much more dramatic discovery at the same time this time in cooperation. Janssen studying the spectrum ofthe sun during the eclipse had noted a fine line he did not recognize. he send a report on this to Lockyer an acknowledges expert on solar spectra. Lockyer compared the reported position of the line with lines of known elements concluding that it must belong to a yeat unknown element possibly not even existing on the earth. He named the element from the Greek word for the sun."Asimov. unknown
