Andrade, E. N. da C. [signed By Robert F Bacher]
The Structure of the Atom
New York 1923: Harcourt Brace & Co. 1923. First American Edition . Blue Cloth. Very Good. 314 Pp. First Printing. This Is Andrade's First Book Originally Published In England In 1923 Intended As An Introduction To Atomic Structure For The "Serious Student". Andrade Was Quain Professor Of Physics At The University Of London 1928-1950 And A Highly Honored Historian Of The Physical Sciences. This Copy Signed By Robert F. Bacher And Dated In April 1925 While Bacher Was A Student. Bacher Later Followed Hans Bethe To Cornell In 1935 Where He Started Doing Experimental Work In Nuclear Physics With Bethe And Left Theoretical Work Behind. He Was Quickly Promoted To Full Professor And Director Of The Laboratory Of Nuclear Studies. Early On He Had Felt That The United States Needed To Start Doing War Work And When Lee Dubridge Head Of The Radiation Lab Working On Radar At Mit Summoned Him There In 1941 He Went. Then Late In 1942 Oppenheimer Who Had Been One Of Bacher's Instructors Earlier At Caltech Approached Bacher About A New Lab For Nuclear Weapons Work That Was Just Starting Up And The Following Spring Asked Him To Join The Manhattan Project. Bacher Declined Initially Telling Oppenheimer That What He Needed Was Engineers. Ultimately When Oppenheimer Made A Commitment To Hiring More Engineers And Made Him Head Of The Experimental Physics Division Bacher Signed On. From The Beginning Bacher Was Firmly Opposed To Making Los Alamos A Military Lab And Persuaded Oppenheimer Who Had Agreed To Take A Commission As Lieutenant Colonel And Had Already Ordered His Uniforms To Keep It Under Civilian Control At Least Until They Had Enough Fissionable Material For A Bomb. When The Project Was Reorganized In July 1944 To Speed Work On Implosion Bacher'S Experimental Physics Division Was Split And He Was Put In Charge Of The G For "Gadget" The Code Name For The Bomb Division. Bacher Personally Escorted The First Bomb To The Test Site In July Of 1945. In 1946 He Was Awarded The President'S Medal For Merit For His Work On The Manhattan Project. Bacher Returned To Cornell Hoping To Get Back To High-Energy Physics But The Bomb'S Aftermath Continued To Involve Him. He Felt Strongly That There Should Be Some Sort Of International Control Of Atomic Weapons And Worked Hard On Negotiations With The Soviet Union. He Admitted In His Oral History That This Was Perhaps Idealistic But Thought That Getting This Technology Out In The Open Might Have Avoided The Subsequent Cold War. When The Atomic Energy Commission Was Established Bacher Served As The Only Scientist Among Its Members; He Had Tried To Decline The Post But Took It On When He Learned That There Would Be No Scientist At All If He Didn'T Accept. While A Member Of The Aec He Pushed For The Development Of Nuclear Submarines And Breeder Reactors For Commercial Power. In The Meantime Lee Dubridge Now President Of Caltech Offered Him A Position As Chairman Of The Division Of Physics Mathematics And Astronomy Or As Just A Professor Whichever He Preferred. "The Decision I Came To Was A Fateful One And Probably Illustrates A Major Failing In My Makeup" Bacher Said In The Oral History. What He Saw As A Major Failing In His Makeup Was In Fact A Superb Talent For Envisioning The Future And Leading The Institute Into It. After Getting A Commitment That The Institute Would Support A Program In High-Energy Physics Both Theoretical And Experimental Bacher Arrived In 1949. One Of His First Hires In High-Energy Physics Was Robert Walker Whom He Had Known At Los Alamos And Cornell. Another Of Bacher'S Early Recruits Was Richard Feynman Who Was Reportedly Feeling "Unsettled" At Cornell; Bacher Persuaded Him To Sign On At Caltech With A Sabbatical Year In Brazil In Between. Feynman Then Settled In Pasadena In 1951 For The Rest Of His Career. Now With Feynman And Robert Christy Who Had Come In 1946 Bacher Felt He Had The Two Most Outstanding Theorists From Los Alamos. Then In 1955 He Also Hired Murray Gell-Mann. <br/> <br/> Harcourt Brace & Co. hardcover

Inscribed To Ny And California Actress Elizabeth Talbot-Martin By Juana De Laban And Dated "Xmas 1970". "Juana De Laban Von Varalja Was An Internationally Recognized Teacher Performer Choreographer Director Author Critic And Theatre And Dance History Scholar. As A Dance Educator Laban Influenced The Development Of The Pedagogy Of Dance History And Research. Juana De Laban The Eldest Daughter Of Rudolf Von Laban And Maya Lenares Was Born On October 21 1910. Laban's Mother Was A Famous Italian Opera Singer And Her Father Was A World-Famous Movement Analyst Philosopher Writer Director Choreographer And Dancer Who Developed The Labanotation Dance Notation System. Laban's Early Years Were Dominated By The Tutelage Of Her Father. By 1934 She Had Earned A Diploma From The Royal Hungarian Academy In Budapest Where She Specialized In The National Dances Of Hungary. During The Mid-1930'S She Toured Austria Switzerland And Germany As A Solo Danseuse And Served As A Critic For The Dancing Times And Der Tanz. Her Understanding Of The Arts And Fluency In Five Languages Provided Her With A World Picture That Was To Guide Her Professional Career. At The Onset Of Wwii In 1938 She Immigrated To The United States. In 1939 Laban And Dance Partner Frances Bartha Toured Together And Opened The Laban Dance Studio In New York City. In 1941 She Began Her American Academic Training At Yale University Completing A Master Of Fine Arts In 1943 And A Doctor Of Philosophy Degree In Theatre Arts In 1947. After Graduation Laban Shifted Her Focus Away From Performing To Concentrate On Her Role As Educator. She Built Her Career In Academia Through A Series Of Posts In American Public Institutions Teaching And Speaking On Modern Educational Dance Folk Dancing And The Role Of Dance As Part Of A Fine Arts Curriculum. In 1954 Paul Baker Chairman Of The Drama Department At Baylor University Recruited Laban To Head The Graduate Division For Drama Where She Taught Stage Movement And Theatre History. The Next Eight Years Were Exceptionally Fruitful For Laban: Developing New Courses; Spearheading A National Trend To Train Actors In Movement; Directing And Choreographing Student Productions; And Teaching In South America On A Fulbright Lectureship. In 1963 Laban Accepted A Position At University Of California Los Angeles Ucla Where She Returned To A Position Within A Dance Department. Here She Concentrated On Teaching Publishing And Speaking About The Importance Of Scholarly Research And The Study Of Dance History. As An Early Member Of The Committee On Research In Dance Cord Laban Helped Shape The Development Of This Organization. By 1967 Laban Became So Committed To Scholarly Research That She Founded A Private Business The Dance Research Associates To Perform Research Assignments On A Request Basis. Because Of Her Distinguished Reputation Southern Methodist University In Dallas Recruited Laban To Head The Burgeoning Graduate Dance Program In 1971. Upon Her Return To Dallas Laban Renewed Her Association With The Dtc And Paul Baker. Robyn Baker Flatt A Former Student And Baker's Daughter Appointed Laban To The Dtc Graduate Program In 1973. Ill Health Forced Her Retirement To Temple Tx Where She Died Of Cancer In 1978 At The Age Of 68." "The Scope Of The Juana De Laban Dance Collection Housed At The Dallas Public Library Is So Broad That It Can Serve As An Important General Resource For International Research On The Many Idioms Of Dance And For The Study Of Human Movement. The Size Of The Collection Is Impressive." <br/> <br/> Teachers College Press, Columbia University hardcover

Reynolds, Reginald [Ethel Mannin, E. M. Forster and Gandhi interest]
Handwritten Letter to M L Austin Discussing Gilbert Highet E. M. Forster Horizon New Statesman Jacques Barzun Etc.
London: Unpublished 1953. Original Letter . No Binding. Very Good. Reynolds Was A British Pacifist Who Worked With Gandhi In The 1920'S And Later Was Secretary Of The No More War Movement. Two Page Handwritten Letter 54 Lines Condensed Onto A Sixpence Air Letter. Following Up On A Letter Sent A Week Earlier Now Thanking The Recipient For A Book On Liberia. He Notes That Gilbert Highet Mentioned In The Recipient's Earlier Letter Had Been Saying Nice Things About Reynolds On The Radio. "I Strongly Approve Of This & Hope It Will Be Encouraged. I Have A Feeling I Shall Be Over In The States If This Goes On. Yesterday I Received A Copy Of The Griffin Reader's Subscriptions Inc. With An Article By Jacques Barzun No Less On E. M. Forster's Hill Of Devi. He Said 'With Mr. Reginald Reynolds' A Quest For Gandhi Which Is Its Perfect Autobiographical Counterpart The Hill Of Devi Is The Best Introduction To The Physical And Emotional Realities Of Modern India". This Has Completely Gone To My Head. The Snooty Pederasts Of Horizon And The New Statesman Never Paid Me Such Compliments. Nobody Here Compares My Modern Workto The Great And Monumental Achievements Of Mr. Forster. I Think I Must Go To America Soon The Land Where They Don't Expect Me To Lick Some Old Queen's Arse Before You Can Get A Decent Write-Up. But Does Somebody I Know - You For Example-Happen To Know Jacques Barzun Because He Posted The Thing To Me Himself To Oak Cottage Which Is Even Odder Than Sending It Here To Chelsea." He Then Discusses His Wife Edith Mannin's Recent Diet "And Much Better For It" And Is Worried About What She Will Eat When She Travels To Burma To Stay With U- Indecipherable As He Is Sure They Will Cook All Their Food In Ghee And Then Fry It Too. Then "I Must Cultivate Some More Forsterian Habits But Draw The Line At One; For He Is "Called' As We Say In Chelsea- Called To The Higher Faith Greater Than The Love Of Women Which No Doubt Helped In His Career This Side Of The Atlantic." He Then Closes With Sending His Love To The Recipient "To You Both" Inquiries What The Recipient Is Doing And Asks When They Will See Them Again. In 1964 His Wife Traveled Through The United States Meeting Austin In California Staying With Him And Traveling In California With Him. She Wrote A Book About The Trip "An American Journey" Hutchison 1967 Which She Dedicated "For Rickey With Whom I Made Some Of These Travels And To Whom I Owe So Much - In Enduring Friendship". <br/> <br/> Unpublished unknown

Nikolassee Leopoldstr. 14 1949. . An den Kritiker u. Übersetzer Dr. Edwin Montijo: "Besprechungsexemplare für die Zeitungen kommen spärlich und langsam heran und so erlauben Sie mir dass ich Ihnen eines meiner eigenen Exemplare der "Europäischen Legende" überreiche." verbunden mit der Bitte den 1948 in Leipzig im Insel-Verlag erschienenen Roman falls er auch ihm "in irgend einer Weise. 'bedeutungsvoll' 'erregend' 'schön' 'kühn' oder wie auch immer" erscheine "sich seiner Behandlung im Feuilleton anzunehmen - ehe es in andere Hände fällt. Denn wie leicht könnte es der nur politischen Aktualisierung verfallen und wie schlecht wäre seinem Anliegen damit gedient!" - Skutsch der als Jude im Dritten Reich mit einem Publikations-Verbot belegt war hatte den Roman bereits während des Krieges den er als Händler überlebte verfaßt. Seit 1945/46 leitete er das Kulturamt Zehlendorf im "Haus am Waldsee" in dem er im Frühjahr 1948 u.a. eine Lesung von André Gides Tagebuch plante das er von Montijo entliehen hatte. - Mit 1 Querfalte im oberen u. unteren Rand braunfleckig.
