Sciama, Dennis W
The Unity Of The Universe
Garden City Ny: Doubleday & Company 1959. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 228 Pp. Black Cloth. First Edition Stated. Near Fine No Marks Bumping To Upper Front Tip Ownership/Gift Label. . Dust Jacket Priced $3.95 Wear Small Losses At Ends Of Spine. Per Wikipedia Dennis William Siahou Sciama Frs 1926 -1999 Was A British Physicist Who Through His Own Work And That Of His Students Played A Major Role In Developing British Physics After The Second World War And He Is Considered One Of The Fathers Of Modern Cosmology. Sciama Earned His Phd In 1953 At The University Of Cambridge Supervised By Paul Dirac With A Dissertation On Mach's Principle And Inertia. His Work Later Influenced The Formulation Of Scalar-Tensor Theories Of Gravity. Sciama Taught At Cornell University King's College London Harvard University And The University Of Texas At Austin But Spent Most Of His Career At The University Of Cambridge 1950S And 1960S And The University Of Oxford As A Senior Research Fellow In All Souls College Oxford 1970S And Early 1980S. In 1983 He Moved From Oxford To Trieste Becoming Professor Of Astrophysics At The International School For Advanced Studies Sissa And A Consultant With The International Centre For Theoretical Physics. He Also Taught At The Scuola Normale Superiore Of Pisa. From 1972 To 1973 He Was The Donegall Lecturer In Mathematics At Trinity College Dublin. Sciama Made Connections Among Some Topics In Astronomy And Astrophysics. He Wrote On Radio Astronomy X-Ray Astronomy Quasars The Anisotropies Of The Cosmic Microwave Radiation The Interstellar And Intergalactic Medium Astroparticle Physics And The Nature Of Dark Matter. Most Significant Was His Work In General Relativity With And Without Quantum Theory And Black Holes. He Helped Revitalize The Classical Relativistic Extension To General Relativity Known As Einstein-Cartan Gravity. Early In His Career He Supported Fred Hoyle's Steady State Cosmology And Interacted With Hoyle Hermann Bondi And Thomas Gold. When Evidence Against The Steady State Theory E.G. The Cosmic Microwave Radiation Mounted In The 1960S Sciama Abandoned It And Worked On The Big Bang Cosmology; He Was Perhaps The Only Prominent Steady-State Supporter To Switch Sides Hoyle Continued To Work On Modifications Of Steady-State For The Rest Of His Life While Bondi And Gold Moved Away From Cosmology During The 1960S. During His Last Years Sciama Became Interested In The Issue Of Dark Matter In Galaxies. Among Other Aspects He Pursued A Theory Of Dark Matter That Consists Of A Heavy Neutrino Certainly Disfavored In His Realization But Still Possible In A More Complicated Scenario. Several Leading Astrophysicists And Cosmologists Of The Modern Era Completed Their Doctorates Under Sciama's Supervision Notably:George Ellis 1964 Stephen Hawking 1966 Brandon Carter 1967 Martin Rees 1967 Gary Gibbons 1973 James Binney 1975 John D. Barrow 1977 Philip Candelas 1977 David Deutsch 1978 Adrian Melott 1981 Antony Valentini 1992. Sciama Also Strongly Influenced Roger Penrose Who Dedicated His The Road To Reality To Sciama's Memory. The 1960S Group He Led In Cambridge Which Included Ellis Hawking Rees And Carter Has Proved Of Lasting Influence. <br/> <br/> Doubleday & Company hardcover

SCOFIELD, Levi T (1842-1917)
Partly-Printed Autograph Document Signed
This noted architect and sculptor of Cleveland Ohio -- the first Cleveland architect to join the American Institute of Architects -- built many important public buildings and monuments in that city; he served with the 103rd Regiment Ohio Volunteers and authored the 1909 study of the Franklin campaign "The Retreat from Pulaski to Nashville Tennessee." Partly-printed ADS 1p 17" X 11" n.p. 1863 December 1. Near fine. Form for obtaining payment for servants filled out and signed by Scofield who adds rank and title "1st Lieut. & Act. Topographical Engineer / 3d. Division 23d. A.C." He checks various columns to claim one months' pay and subsistence for his servant "John" whose complexion eyes and hair he all notes as "Black." He also notes payment coming from U.S. Army Paymaster John Coon -- his uncle by the way -- and Coon also signs. One of Scofield's most notable monuments is his Civil War monument "These Are My Jewels" -- a document from the 21-year-old future architect from his Civil War period is extremely unusual and desireable. unknown

Scott R. K
Autograph Letter Signed Washington D. C. October 18 1839 to Samuel Hood Philadelphia
Manuscript. Very Good. quarto 4 pp. old folds some splits along folds postal cancellation and sealing wax on integral address leaf some light soiling and damp-staining good condition. Letter to Samuel Hood a Philadelphia lawyer born in 1800 and who had emigrated from Ireland to America in 1826. "My dear Hood I am inclined to the opinion that what with horrid murders - awful conflagrations - bank suspensions and presidential receptions you Philadelphians have become so engrossed in your municipal affairs as to forget that you have friends out of the sounds of Christ Church bells. I do hope that in time the quiet for which our good city was once so celebrated may return and that her denizens may give a thought and a line to those whose hearts are at home tho' their persons are away. Seriously how are you And how is your worthy chum Horn And all our other good men and true The newspapers you sent me were duly received and read with pleasure especially the one containing a notice of our staid 6th street friend William to whom be all honor and glory legal and aquitable. sic As I have by "my preliminary observations" as the orators & ministers say pretty directly called on you for some news you may reasonably expect me to impart some which I should be more happy to do if I had any but having none I must excuse myself by propounding the problem of take nothing from nothing and what remains The answer will give you all the news which so far as this place is concerned is the return of the President & Heads of Department and the various subs connected therewith who had been so fortunate as to have the means and the permission to absent themselves for a summer excursion from this city of magnificent distances dust dems and blue devils. All hands are now I believe pretty generally hard at it preparing for the approaching session. Milliners - store keepers- and hack drivers are making their preparations to reap their annual harvest from the crowd of loafers sharpers gulls politicians legislators office hunters and people of all kinds & descriptions who congregate here during the winter from motives of curiosity business pleasure or dissipation. It would be really worth your while to spend a month or two here in the midst of the season to a man of observation thought and reflection it affords a rare treat. One I am sure you would understand and appreciate tho' I doubt whether you would much enjoy it. Looking merely at the surface it affords an intoxicating sort of pleasure but penetrating too deeply into its mysteries and becoming intimate with it the feeling produced is rather that of disgust and contempt for the sort of human nature that it portrays. Had not my paper run out and my tea bell rung I fear you would have been inflicted with a fit of moralizing brought about by a rainy afternoon and a little self exercise of the "serious second thought" of a poor public officer one of a class which from all accounts don't much indulge in that very necessary exercise of the mental faculty." <br/> <br/> unknown books

The agency dominated the genres of science fiction mystery and horror. The agency also managed prominent authors such as Norman Mailer Arthur C. Clarke Ed McBain Philip K. Dick and Carl Sagan. The agency ran a "reading program" which evaluated whether unpublished manuscripts were commercial enough to sell and offered to represent those which were. The program became one of the most successful self-help direct response programs of the 20th century and the forerunner of self-publishing programs of today. Scott Meredith's biography Writing to Sell is widely acknowledged as one of the best primers on commercial fiction writing. Although Scott Meredith passed away in 1993 his agency lives on continuing to be one of the foremost literary agencies in the world. What makes this copy of Writing to Sell so special is that there is a signed letter from Scott Meredith to the owner of this book. The book's owner Jack Delbert Waldron had written to Meredith about representation for his work on lyrics. Our informal research has not turned up any additional biographical information with the exception of two copyrights issued to him for lyrics written. It is clear that Waldron valued the book. It is heavily annotated with his comments and notes. There are many underlined passages and marginalia. This is an outstanding piece that combines an excellent instruction guide on writing by one of the foremost literary agents that also includes a letter from the agent/author to another aspiring author. Its rare to see all of this together in one place. It would make a fine addition to any writer or aspiring writer's library. The book is a hardback. It has 209 pages and is in good condition. The covers are fine and the binding and spine are intact. The pages are in good condition. ; Autograph; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 209 pages . Scott Meredith Literary Agency hardcover

Principles Of Peace: Tracts I- Xii Of The Society For The Promotion Of Permanent And Universal Peace. 1. A Solemn Review Of The Custom Of War. 2. War Inconsistent With The Doctrine And Example Of Jesus Christ. 3. An Essay On The Doctrines And Practice Of The Early Christians. 4. Extracts From The Writings Of Erasmuc. 5. Sketches Of The Horrors Of War. 6. On Universal Peace. 7. The Applicability Of The Pacific Principles Of The New Testament. 8. An Examination Of The Principles Which Are Considered To Support The Practice Of War. 9. Three Parts The Conduct Of The Society Of Friends In Ireland. 10. Historical Illustrations Of The Origin And Consequences Of War. 11. Reflections On The Calamities Of War 12. Essay On War And On Its Lawfulness
London: Thomas Ward & Co / Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace 1838. First Collected Edition . Full Blue Calf Gilt. Good. Stereotype Reprints Of The First Twelve Tracts Published As Pamphlets By The Society Each Newly Printed Here With 1838 Date On Title Pages For Each Tract And Catalog Of All Twelve Tracts Plus The 'New Series Of Small Tracts" On The Verso Of The Title Page Each Title Page With Price Of Two Or Three Pence. The First Tract Is Commonly Available But The Later Tracts Were Mostly Based On A Popular Theological Interpretation Of Christian Principles And Unreadable By Anyone Involved In Executive Decisions Particularly As War Had Been The Usual Basis Of Promotion And Wealth In All Socities Worldwide . Finely Bound In Polished Blue Calf Four Raised Bands Decorated In Gilt Morocco Spine Label Blind-Stamped Compartments Covers With Four Sets Of Gilt Border Rules With Ornate Gilt Embellishments At Corners Of Two Central Sets Of Rules All Edges Gilt Finely Hand-Marbled End Papers Four Wavy Gilt Lines On All Turns. Binding Worn Page Block Neatly Detached From Binding No Chips Or Tears Could Be Nicely Refurbished. Unfortunately Peace Literature Does Not Start With A Statement Of What A Government Should Hold Truly Essential And Non-Negotiable In Any Peace Negotiation Nor Discusses What Is Negotiable To The Benefit Of The Other Party; Rather Peace Literature Is Like Rules For A Playtime Tea. This Is Fitting As The Grown-Ups And The Government Just Want To Remain In Charge While Looking Good Although Actually Having No Articulable Principles Applicable To Both Parties To State Because They Know No Other Way To Achieve Popularity Or At Least Incumbency. <br/> <br/> Thomas Ward & Co / Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace unknown
