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.

Reiss, Tom
The Orientalist solving the mystery of a strange and a dangerous life
Octavo in blue-b&w illus DJ, xxvii, 433 pages, b&w illustrations ; 24 cm. This book traces the life of Lev Nussimbaum, a Jew who transformed himself into a Muslim prince and became a best-selling author in Nazi Germany. Born in 1905 in Baku, at the edge of the czarist empire, Lev escaped the Russian Revolution in a camel caravan. He found refuge in Germany, where, writing under the names Essad Bey and Kurban Said, his remarkable books about Islam, desert adventures, and global revolution, became celebrated across fascist Europe. But his life grew wilder than his wildest stories. He married an international heiress who had no idea of his true identity--until she divorced him in a tabloid scandal. His closest friend in New York was arrested as the leading Nazi agent in the United States. He was invited to be Mussolini's official biographer--until the Fascists discovered his "true" identity. Under house arrest, he wrote his last book, helped by a mysterious half-German salon hostess, an Algerian weapons-smuggler, and the poet Ezra Pound. As he tracks down the pieces of Lev's deliberately obscured life, Reiss discovers a series of shadowy worlds--of European pan-Islamists, nihilist assassins, anti-Nazi book smugglers, Baku oil barons, Jewish Orientalists--that have also been forgotten. The result is a thoroughly unexpected picture of the twentieth century--of the origins of our ideas about race and religious self-definition, and of the roots of modern fanaticism and terrorism. Contents: Revolution -- Wild Jews -- The way east -- Escape -- Constantinople, 1921 -- Minarets and silk stockings -- The German revolution -- The Berlin wall -- A hundred kinds of hunger -- Weimar media star -- Jewish Orientalism -- Backing into the inferno -- A tough morsel for the melting pot -- Mussolini and Mrs. Kurban Said -- Positano.
