Aczel, Amir D.
Pendulum LÈon Foucault and the triumph of science
Octavo in white illus DJ, b&w illus and color illus to front DJ, deckle edges, x, 275 pages, b&w illustrations, map ; 23 cm. Signed by author. || In 1851, struggling, self-taught physicist L n Foucault performed a dramatic demonstration inside the Panth n in Paris. By tracking a pendulum's path as it swung repeatedly across the interior of the large ceremonial hall, Foucault offered the first definitive proof -- before an audience that comprised the cream of Parisian society, including the future emperor, Napoleon III -- that the earth revolves on its axis. In this book, Amir Aczel has revealed the life of a gifted physicist who had almost no formal education in science, and yet managed to succeed despite the adversity he suffered at the hands of his peers. Foucault gave us the modern electric compass, devised an electric microscope, invented photographic technology, and made remarkable deductions about color theory, heat waves, and the speed of light. Yet until now so little has been known about his life. Pendulum tells of the illustrious period in France during the Second Empire; of Foucault's relationship with Napoleon III, a colorful character in his own right; and -- most notably -- of the crucial triumph of science over religion. Contents: A stunning discovery in the cellar -- Ancient logic: Bible and inquisition -- Failed experiments with falling bodies-- A science "irregular" in the age of the engineer -- The meridian of Paris -- "Come see the earth turn" -- Mathematical Bedlam -- A new Bonaparte -- The force of Coriolis -- The PanthÈon -- The Gyroscope -- The Coup d'…tat and the second empire -- An unemployed genius -- The observatory physicist -- Final glory -- A premature end -- The defeat at Sedan -- Aftermath. Physicists -- France -- Biography.

Adamo Giuliana
L'ultima voce. Vittore Bocchetta: ribelle, antifascista, deportato, esule, artista
br. La vita di Vittore Bocchetta: ribelle fin dall'infanzia, antifascista, deportato, sopravvissuto alla "marcia della morte", rimpatriato, esiliatosi per decenni nelle Americhe, ritornato in Italia, protagonista e testimone degli avvenimenti più tragici del XX secolo. Nella sua longeva esistenza, Bocchetta, dotato di uno straordinario multiforme ingegno, è riuscito ogni volta a sopravvivere reinventandosi sempre. Solitudine, resilienza, capacità di tollerare il dolore fisico e i disagi, uniti a un'onestà intellettuale e a una coerenza interiore fuori dal comune, ne fanno una figura straordinaria che tuttora si staglia lucida contro il passare del tempo. Giuliana Adamo - basandosi sui racconti diretti fatti in decenni di ostinata testimonianza pubblica - ne ricostruisce le straordinarie vicende, documentate dalla sua (quasi) infallibile memoria di ultracentenario. Prefazione di Oliviero Diliberto. Postfazione di Paolo Cherchi.

Adams, George Worthington
Doctors in Blue : The Medical History of the Union Army in the Civil War
New York: Schuman 1952. 1952. Near Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full blue cloth. The spine is stamped in dark blue and gilt. Octavo. xii 253pps. 16 pages of photos. There is mild bumping to the tips and a previous owner's name is neatly penned in the upper corner of the ffep. Otherwise clean tight square and bright. No apparent reading wear. The dustjacket glossy in a new mylar sleeve has light rubbing wear at the extremities and along the folds and a couple of closed tears at the head of the spine; the original price is intact. SIGNED by the author -- without further inscription -- on a special tipped-in page. ".Based on extensive study of surgeons' reports inspectors observations soldier narratives and other first-hand materials 'Doctors in Blue' fills a long glaring gap in the story of American medicine and the history of the American Civil War. Dr. Adams already distinguished for research in Confederate experience develops the subject of health and medical practice on the Union side with remarkable skill and balance. Disease on the Northern side as on the Southern was far more deadly to the fighting men than were the bullets of their opponents. Behind the sickness and mortality statistics of the Civil War lay ignorance stupidity inefficiency and jealousy. But behind them also are to be seen earnestness cooperative spirit and great strides of scientific knowledge. Many aspects of the Civil War have been written about profusely but the important theme of medicine has never before had its general historian. In this book the reader will find a warm and human story of the contributions made by the great military medical men of the period and a compelling picture of the roles played by the hospital attendants ambulance men and the army's first women nurses." Purchase with confidence: all books gradings and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded.
