Andrew Szanton; Eugene P Wigner, With Gift Card From Wigner
The Recollections of Eugene P. Wigner as Told to Andrew Szanton
Plenum Press 1992. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Xxiv 335 Pp. Black Boards Spine Gilt. First Printing No Additional Printing Indicated. Fine In Fine Dust Jacket Priced $24.50. Laid In Loosely Is A Gift Card Signed By Wigner And Dated In 1965. Per Wikikpedia Eugene Paul Wigner 1902 - 1995 Was A Hungarian-American Theoretical Physicist Who Also Contributed To Mathematical Physics. He Received The Nobel Prize In Physics In 1963 "For His Contributions To The Theory Of The Atomic Nucleus And The Elementary Particles Particularly Through The Discovery And Application Of Fundamental Symmetry Principles". A Graduate Of The Technical Hochschule Berlin Now Technische Universität Berlin Wigner Worked As An Assistant To Karl Weissenberg And Richard Becker At The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute In Berlin And David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen. Wigner And Hermann Weyl Were Responsible For Introducing Group Theory Into Physics Particularly The Theory Of Symmetry In Physics. Along The Way He Performed Ground-Breaking Work In Pure Mathematics In Which He Authored A Number Of Mathematical Theorems. In Particular Wigner's Theorem Is A Cornerstone In The Mathematical Formulation Of Quantum Mechanics. He Is Also Known For His Research Into The Structure Of The Atomic Nucleus. In 1930 Princeton University Recruited Wigner Along With John Von Neumann And He Moved To The United States Where He Obtained Citizenship In 1937. Wigner Participated In A Meeting With Leo Szilard And Albert Einstein That Resulted In The Einstein-Szilard Letter Which Prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt To Authorize The Creation Of The Advisory Committee On Uranium With The Purpose Of Investigating The Feasibility Of Nuclear Weapons. Wigner Was Afraid That The German Nuclear Weapon Project Would Develop An Atomic Bomb First. During The Manhattan Project He Led A Team Whose Task Was To Design Nuclear Reactors To Convert Uranium Into Weapons Grade Plutonium. At The Time Reactors Existed Only On Paper And No Reactor Had Yet Gone Critical. Wigner Was Disappointed That Dupont Was Given Responsibility For The Detailed Design Of The Reactors Not Just Their Construction. He Became Director Of Research And Development At The Clinton Laboratory Now The Oak Ridge National Laboratory In Early 1946 But Became Frustrated With Bureaucratic Interference By The Atomic Energy Commission And Returned To Princeton. In The Postwar Period He Served On A Number Of Government Bodies Including The National Bureau Of Standards From 1947 To 1951 The Mathematics Panel Of The National Research Council From 1951 To 1954 The Physics Panel Of The National Science Foundation And The Influential General Advisory Committee Of The Atomic Energy Commission From 1952 To 1957 And Again From 1959 To 1964. In Later Life He Became More Philosophical And Published The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Natural Sciences His Best-Known Work Outside Technical Mathematics And Physics. <br/> <br/> Plenum Press hardcover

Wu, C S [Chien-Shiung] / Moszkowski, S A [Steven Alexander]
Beta Decay Series: Interscience Monographs And Texts In Physics And Astronomy Volume Xvi
New York: Interscience Publishers / John Wiley & Sons 1966. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Good. Xiv 394 Pp. Gray-Green Cloth Printed In Dark Green. First Printing. Near Fine No Names Or Marks Or Fading Or Stains. Dj WornWith Rubbing Along Edges Short Tears And Small Losses At Corners Interior Clear Tape Reinforcements To Spine. Remarkably Thorough Experimental And Theoretical History And Analysis. Definitive For The Advanced Student And The Expert. Per Wikipedia Chien-Shiung Wu Chinese: ; Pinyin: Wú Jiànxióng; Wade-Giles: Wu2 Chien4-Hsiung2; 1912 - 1997 Was A Chinese-American Particle And Experimental Physicist Who Made Significant Contributions In The Fields Of Nuclear And Particle Physics. Wu Worked On The Manhattan Project Where She Helped Develop The Process For Separating Uranium Into Uranium-235 And Uranium-238 Isotopes By Gaseous Diffusion. She Is Best Known For Conducting The Wu Experiment Which Proved That Parity Is Not Conserved. This Discovery Resulted In Her Colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee And Chen-Ning Yang Winning The 1957 Nobel Prize In Physics While Wu Herself Was Awarded The Inaugural Wolf Prize In Physics In 1978. Her Expertise In Experimental Physics Evoked Comparisons To Marie Curie. Her Nicknames Include The "First Lady Of Physics" The "Chinese Madame Curie" And The "Queen Of Nuclear Research". After Work On The Manhattan Project During Wwii Wu Accepted An Offer Of A Position As An Associate Research Professor At Columbia. She Would Remain At Columbia For The Rest Of Her Career And Was First Named Associate Professor In 1952 Which Made Her The First Woman To Become A Tenured Physics Professor In University History. In November 1949 Wu Experimented With The Conclusions Of Einstein's Epr Thought Experiment Which Called Quantum Entanglement "Spooky Action At A Distance". Wu Was The First To Establish The Phenomenon And Validity Of Entanglement Using Photons Through Observing Angular Correlation As Her Result Confirmed Maurice Pryce And John Clive Ward's Calculations On The Correlation Of The Quantum Polarizations Of Two Photons Propagating In Opposite Directions. Specifically The Experiment Carried Out By Wu Was The First Important Confirmation Of Quantum Results Relevant To A Pair Of Entangled Photons As Applicable To The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Epr Paradox. Her 1950 Letter To Physical Review Famously Identified Confirmation Of Wheeler's Ideas On Entanglement. Tsung-Dao Lee And Another Chinese Theoretical Physicist Chen Ning Yang Grew To Question A Hypothetical Law Of Elementary Particle Physics The "Law Of Conservation Of Parity". Lee And Yang Worked Out A Pencil-And-Paper Design Of An Experiment For Testing Conservation Of Parity In The Laboratory. Because Of Her Expertise In Choosing And Then Working Out The Hardware Manufacture Set-Up And Laboratory Procedures Wu Then Informed Lee That She Could Carry Out The Experiment. Wu Chose To Do This By Taking A Sample Of Radioactive Cobalt-60 And Cooling It To Cryogenic Temperatures With Liquid Gases. Cobalt-60 Is An Isotope That Decays By Beta Particle Emission And Wu Was Also An Expert On Beta Decay. The Discovery Of Parity Violation Was A Major Contribution To Particle Physics And The Development Of The Standard Model. The Discovery Actually Set The Stage For The Development Of The Model As The Model Relied On The Idea Of Symmetry Of Particles And Forces And How Particles Can Sometimes Break That Symmetry.The Wide Coverage Of Her Discovery Prompted The Discoverer Of Fission Otto Frisch To Mention That Those At Princeton Would Often Say That Her Experiment Was The Most Impactful Since The Michelson-Morley Experiment That Inspired Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. In December 1962 Wu Experimentally Demonstrated A Universal Form And More Accurate Version Of Fermi's Old Beta Decay Model Confirming The Conserved Vector Current Cvc Hypothesis Of Richard Feynman And Murray Gell-Mann On The Road To The Standard Model. <br/> <br/> Interscience Publishers / John Wiley & Sons hardcover

What Then Would Be The Position Of Human Kind Upon Earth" Next Year In Ten Years In Twenty Years A Hundred Years And What Government Agency Exactly Will Care William Addison Dwiggins 1880 -1956 Was An American Type Designer Calligrapher And Book Designer. He Attained Prominence As An Illustrator And Commercial Artist And He Brought To The Designing Of Type And Books Some Of The Boldness That He Displayed In His Advertising Work. His Work Can Be Described As Ornamented And Geometric Similar To The Art Moderne And Art Deco Styles Of The Period Using Oriental Influences And Breaking From The More Antiquarian Styles Of His Colleagues And Mentors Updike Cleland And Goudy. Dwiggins' Interest In Lettering Led To The Mergenthaler Linotype Company Sensing Dwiggins' Talent And Knowledge Hiring Dwiggins In March 1929 As A Consultant To Create A Sans-Serif Typeface Which Became Metro In Response To Similar Type Being Sold From European Foundries Such As Erbar Futura And Gill Sans Which Dwiggins Felt Failed In The Lower-Case. Dwiggins Went On To Have A Successful Working Relationship With Chauncey H. Griffith Linotype's Director Of Typographic Development And All His Typefaces Were Created For Them. His Most Widely Used Book Typefaces Electra And Caledonia Were Specifically Designed For Linotype Composition And Have A Clean Spareness. <br/> <br/> Alfred A. Knopf hardcover

Krappe, Alexander Haggerty
Unique Archive Of 69 Articles In Complete Journals And Offprints All By Alexander Haggerty Krappe Circa 1924 - 1948
New York Ny: Hispanic Society Of America Etc. 1920. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Fine. Archive Of 69 Separate Scholarly Philological Articles All Well Preserved Very Good To Fine. No Marks. Apparently The Author's Own Copies. Per Wikipedia Alexander Haggerty Krappe 1894 -1947 Was A Folklorist And Writer. Along With Francis Peabody Magoun He Was The First Translator Of Folktales Collected By The Brothers Grimm Into The English Language. He Was Also A Linguist Teacher Translator Of Scientific And Other Materials A Roman Philologist A Comparative Mythologist A Classicist And Scandinavianist. Despite His Contributions And Academic Writing His Work Has Been Overlooked In The Modern Folklore Discipline As He Staunchly Denied The Existence Of American Folklore. Alexander Haggerty Krappe Was Born In Boston Massachusetts In 1884. His Childhood Was Said To Be Unhappy And After His Parents Divorced He Was Taken Back To Europe By His German-Born Father. Krappe Received His Education In The Leibniz Und Siemen's Oberealschuel In Charlottenberg Berlin. An Accomplished Student He Remained At The University Until 1915 Upon His Decision To Study Modern Languages. Thus Krappe Spent 1915-1916 Studying Medieval History And Romance Languages At The University Of Berlin. Krappe Went On To Enter The University Of Iowa In Iowa City On A Graduate Fellowship And Received His M.A. With A Major In French And A Minor In Italian. The Capstone Of His M.A. His Thesis Was Entitled "The Chronology Of The Old French Chanson De Geste." In January 1918 He Began Doctoral Work At The University Of Chicago On Another Graduate Fellowship. In 1919 Krappe Received A Ph.D. His Work In University Established His Interest In Epic And Medieval Literature. In 1919 Krappe Married Edith Smith The Daughter Of Folklorist Grace Partridge Smith. Edith Would Go On To Describe Her Husband As "Brilliant But Deeply Troubled And Enigmatic Man When All Of The Sources Are Combined It Is The Picture That Emerges." Krappe Died On November 30 1947 In Iowa City Iowa Leaving Three Book-Length Manuscripts. The Most Significant Of These And Only One Published Was A Translation Of Grimm's Collected Fairy Tales In Conjunction With Francis Peabody Magoun. In His Book The Science Of Folklore He Stated: Folklore Is A Historical Science Having Its Own Methods Of Research And Admitting Of The Same System Of Checks And Verifications As Any Other. With Its Sister Sciences It May Combine To Make Up The Cycle Of Our Knowledge Of Man's Past Life. From This Follows That It May Assume The Rank Of An Ancillary Science To Any Or All Of Them And It Has Done So Repeatedly Notably To The Various Philogies History Ethnography And The History Of Religion. Krappe's Work Also Extended Into The Field Of Folksong His Own Scholarly Definition." "The Folksong Is A Song I.E A Lyric Poem With Melody Which Originated Anonymously Among Unlettered Folk In Times Past And Which Remained In Currency For A Considerable Time As A Rule For Centuries . . . The American Kentucky Home Though It Is Supposed To Have Originated In Circle Of A Somewhat Darker Hue Than Is Popular In Certain Sections Of The Country Is A Genuine Folksong Of Both Colored And White People. This Also Serves As A Prime Example Of Krappe's Unpopularity Among Folklorists And Anthropologists As According To One 1998 Article In American Folklore By Editor Brunvand Krappe's Work Many Times Shows Him To Be Racist And Sexist Although These Characteristics Do Not Appear In The Articles We Have Read And Krappe Himself Published In American Folklore In 1942. <br/> <br/> Hispanic Society Of America, Etc. paperback

Very Good In Very Good Silvery Probably Aluminum-Coated Dj Priced $2.00; Small Name/Address Label And Signature Of Olga Poulsen. Per Wikipedia Miriam Constance Beaumont-Vaughan 1901-1979 Better Known By Her Pseudonym Olive Moore Was A Modernist English Writer Best Known For Three Well-Esteemed Novels: Celestial Seraglio 1929 Spleen 1930 And Fugue 1932 And For The Acerbic Essay Collection The Apple Is Bitten Again 1934. She Also Produced An Essay On D.H. Lawrence Entitled Further Reflections On The Death Of A Porcupine Which Was Privately Printed In 1933 And Included In Her Essay Collection. Her Collected Writings Was Published In 1992. Born In Hereford Moore Was Acquainted With The Bloomsbury Literary Circles In London During Her Prolific Years And With The Poet Hugh Mcdiarmid And The Radical London Bookseller And Publisher Charles Lahr. She Briefly Worked For The Daily Sketch. In The Early 1920'S She Married The Sculptor Sava Botzaris 1894-1965. Otherwise Little Is Known About Her Life Beyond A Brief Autobiographic Sketch In 1933. Moore Claimed To Be Working On A Novel Entitled Amazon And Hero: The Drama Of The Greek War For Independence Which Was Never Published. Due To Her Rapid Disappearance From The London Literary Scene The Date And Location Of Her Death Remain Unknown Though She Is Believed To Have Died Around 1970. Moore Has Been Termed "A Cross Between Virginia Woolf And Djuna Barnes But With A More Biting Wit." Her Novels Make Free Use Of Modernist Techniques Such As Stream Of Consciousness In Their Frank Dealings With Issues Of Sexuality And Disability. Though Considered A Highly Talented Experimental Writer Moore's Disappearance And The Rarity Of Published Versions Of Her Texts Until The Mid-1990'S Has Led To A Relative Critical Neglect Of Her Work Until Recently.

Clean Pages Slightly Aged In A Modern Sturdy Blue Cloth Binding Spine Gilt By Tassinari Bros. Of Indian Orchard Ma. Light Wear. Two New Hampshire Institutional Stamps. Simon Newcomb 1835 -1909 Was A Canadian-American Astronomer Applied Mathematician And Autodidactic Polymath. Newcomb Visited Paris France In 1870 Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris He Realized That In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672 And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878 Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light Using A Refinement Of The Method Of Léon Foucault. A Letter From Albert Abraham Michelson Began A Long Collaboration And Friendship. In 1880 Michelson Assisted At Newcomb's Initial Measurement But Michelson Left To Start His Own Project. Miichelson Published His First Measurement In 1880 Reprinted Here But Newcomb's Measurement Was Substantially Different And In 1883 Michelson Revised His Measurement To A Value Closer To Newcomb's. In 1881 Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law Formulating The Principle That In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit. In 1891 Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel. He Wrote On Economics And His Principles Of Political Economy 1885 Was Described By John Maynard Keynes As "One Of Those Original Works Which A Fresh Scientific Mind Not Perverted By Having Read Too Much Of The Orthodox Stuff Is Able To Produce From Time To Time In A Half-Formed Subject Like Economics." He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Hostility To C. S. Pierce And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight. Source: Wikipedia. Albert A. Michelson 1852-1931 Performed Early Measurements Of The Velocity Of Light With Amazing Delicacy And In 1881 He Invented His Interferometer For The Purpose Of Discovering The Effect Of The Earth's Motion On The Observed Velocity. In Cooperation With Professor E.W. Morley And Using The Interferometer It Was Shown That Light Travels At A Constant Speed In All Inertial Systems Of Reference. The Instrument Also Enabled Distances To Be Measured With Greater Accuracy By Means Of The Length Of Light-Waves. At The Request Of The International Committee Of Weights And Measures Michelson Measured The Standard Metre In Terms Of Wavelength Of Cadmium Light. He Invented The Echelon Spectroscope And During His Wartime Service In The Navy He Performed Research Work On Devices For Naval Use - He Developed A Rangefinder Which Was Adapted As Part Of U.S. Navy Equipment. On His Return To Civilian Life Michelson Became More Interested In Astronomy And In 1920 Using Light Interference And A Highly Developed Version Of His Earlier Instrument He Measured The Diameter Of The Star Betelgeuse: This Was The First Determination Of The Size Of A Star That Could Be Regarded As Accurate. He Was The First American To Receive The Nobel Priize For Physics. Nobel Lectures Physics 1901-1921 Elsevier Publishing Company Amsterdam 1967.

Researches In Magneto-Optics With Special Reference To The Magnetic Resolution Of Spectrum Lines
London: Macmillan And Co 1913. First English Language Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. Xiv 1 219 Pp 4 Pp Ads At Rear. Blue Cloth Gilt And Blindstamped. Seven Line Inscription And Signature Of Zeeman Dated In December 1924 To Alfred Lande. Light Rubbing At Corners And Front Spine Edge Gilt All Present But Not Brilliant Very Faint Dampstaining In Upper Right Third Of Front Cover And Small Area In Upper Corner Of Rear Cover But No Trace On Contents; Otherwise Clean No Fading To Cloth. From Wikipedia: Alfred Landé 1888 -1976 Was A German-American Physicist Known For His Contributions To Quantum Theory. In 1913 Landé Was Sent By Arnold Sommerfeld His Thesis Advisor At The University Of Munich To Be A Special Assistant For Physics To David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen To Replace Paul Peter Ewald Whom Sommerfeld Had Sent To The Same Position In 1912. Landé Obtained His Doctorate Under Sommerfeld At The University Of Munich Two Weeks Prior To The Start Of The First World War. He Joined The Red Cross And Served For Two Years On The Eastern Front Before Being Invited By Max Born To Join Him At The Artillery Testing Commission One Of The Few Scientific Sections Of The Army. Apart From Their Work On Artillery Location By Sound Ranging They Began To Examine The Cohesive Forces And Compressibility Of Crystals. This Work Led To The Unexpected Result That The Electron Trajectories In Atoms Were Not At All Like Planetary Orbits Which At The Time Was The Usual Understanding Of The Electron In An Atom. Landé Studied Atomic Structure Intensively For The Next Seven Years. In 1916 Sommerfeld Had Begun To Apply The New Atomic Theory To Form A General Quantization Rule. In 1919 Landé Unexpectedly Turned To Spectroscopy Even Though The Continuation Of The Study Of The Spatial Orientation Of The Atoms Was The Most Pressing Problem Of The Time. He Turned To The Problem Of Atoms With Several Electrons In Particular To The Simplest Case The Spectrum Of Helium. The Spectrum Showed Non-Combining Single And Double Actually Triplet As It Turned Out Later Terms So That It Seemed As If Helium Was Made Of Two Different Substances Which Is Explained Today As The Result Of Electron Spin. Landé's Work Contained Several New Important Ideas Including The Rule Of Vector Addition Of Two Quantum-Mechanical Angular Momenta J1 And J2. His Findings And Postulates Were Later Confirmed By Quantum Theory. Landé's Frankfurt Investigations December 1920 Until April 1921 Ended With The Discovery Of The Well-Known Landé G-Formula And An Explanation For The Anomalous Zeeman Effect. The Landé G-Factor Is Now Defined Through Mj The Magnetic Quantum Number. In 1923 Landé Stated The Landé Interval Rule A Rule Dealing With The Relation Between An Electron's Spin And Orbit. Landé Was A Forerunner In A Phase Of New Interpretation Of Quantum Theory From Which Concrete Physical Statements About Experimentally Verifiable Facts Can Be Made. This Happened After The First Phase Of The Interpretation Of The Theory With Well-Known Discussions Between Niels Bohr Werner Heisenberg And Wolfgang Pauli Who Favoured The Copenhagen Interpretation Opposed In Varying Degrees By Erwin Schrödinger Louis De Broglie And Most Notably Albert Einstein. After 1950 And For The Rest Of His Life Landé Turned Energetically Against The Copenhagen Interpretation Of Quantum Theory Requiring As Did Einstein An Objectively Real Description Of Physical Processes. This Change Was Driven By Landé's Perception That Wave-Particle Duality Was An Unnecessary Misrepresentation Of Quantum Processes That He Explained By Developing A New Unitary Particle Formulation Without Dualistic Reference To Waves. Landé Based His New Formulation Upon Non-Quantal Principles Of Symmetry And Invariance With Duane's Rule For Quantisation Of Momentum Exchange With Space-Periodic Structures And Leibniz's Principle Of Cause-Effect Continuity To Explain The Intrinsically Probabilistic Nature Of Quantum Processes. His Interpretation Is Considered A Minority Interpretation. <br/> <br/> Macmillan And Co hardcover
