Vintage science technology textbook. Pierre-Gilles de Gennes's foundational monograph of modern soft matter physics; the author received the 1991 Nobel Prize in Physics. Ships in box from the USA quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Pierre-Gilles de Gennes's text presents the foundational monograph of modern soft matter physics. The work outlines scaling concepts and self-similarity laws to describe the complex physical conformations and dynamics of long flexible polymer chains. De Gennes's theoretical frameworks draw mathematical analogies between macromolecular behavior and the critical phenomena of phase transitions unifying polymer chemistry with the rigorous principles of statistical mechanics. Tan cloth covers embossed w/ a gold-gilt title on the spine and front cover house the text which is illustrated throughout with black-and-white figures and mathematical diagrams. The publisher's dust jacket features a minimalist geometric design of interlocking circular rings on the front panel and carries catalogs for Cornell University Press's chemistry lectureships on the rear panel. A previous owner signature on the front free endpaper provides a provenance link to Wake Forest University biophysicist and Professor of Physics George Holzwarth. Having pioneered research in macromolecular dynamics polymer physics and DNA gel electrophoresis Holzwarth's ownership connects this volume directly to the active scientific community that applied de Gennes's scaling equations during the textbook's initial 1979 release. Cornell University Press first published the volume in Ithaca New York in late 1979. Pierre-Gilles de Gennes who subsequently received the 1991 Nobel Prize in Physics for his generalizations of order phenomena in complex matter composed the work as a synthesis of contemporary polymer theories. The publication date coincided with rapid developments in neutron scattering and light spectroscopy experiments which validated de Gennes's scaling equations. Cornell University Press hardcover

Early Stratemeyer Syndicate juvenile w/ Edward Stratemeyer writing as Arthur M. Winfield in the original 40-cent Enterprise Books series. Ships in box from the USA quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Preserved with its original pre-WWI red-stamped paper dust jacket this rare vintage 12mo hardcover edition of Bob the Photographer; or A Hero in Spite of Himself captures the turn-of-the-century transition from 19th-century dime novel paperbacks to publisher-bound juvenile series fiction. Authored by Edward Stratemeyer under his Arthur M. Winfield pseudonym the storyline follows orphaned youth Bob Hazelton navigating studio photography railroad intrigue and wilderness perils while thwarting a train conspiracy. The narrative blends Horatio Alger pluck-and-luck themes with period industrial fascinations specifically view-camera photography and steam railroading. The physical volume features blue cloth boards stamped in orange and black with a detailed view-camera illustration a glossy monochrome frontispiece and plain endpapers. Enclosing the binding is an authentic circa-1910 paper dust wrapper displaying red artwork the 40-cent Enterprise Books price mark and publisher series advertisements along the flaps and rear panel. The front flap advertises The Enterprise Books listing down to Lost in the Land of Ice while the rear flap advertises The Bobbsey Twins listing down to The Bobbsey Twins at the Seashore. Bibliographically carrying a 1902 copyright date by A. Wessels Company and a Grosset & Dunlap title page this printing state dates to circa 1910 based on back cover advertisements listing The Tom Swift Series down to Tom Swift and His Electric Runabout published in 1910. Edward Stratemeyer's work during this era connects to the brief Stitt Publishing Company window 1905 to 1906 a pivotal phase in the development of the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Stratemeyer's factory assembly model pioneered the production framework that later spawned The Rover Boys The Bobbsey Twins The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Paper dust wrappers from popular libraries and early juvenile series suffered an estimated 99.5% attrition rate as early readers routinely discarded fragile wrappers. Surviving pre-WWI paper wrappers represent major antiquarian rarities in juvenile series collecting. As an intact dime-novel-era artifact preserving its original publisher wrapper the book provides an important physical record of early 20th-century popular print culture. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover

A glossy coated frontispiece plate illustrated by R. Emmett Owen captures Tom encountering an enemy soldier in his searchlight beam. The text spans 206 numbered pages followed by period publisher catalog advertisements for The Tom Slade Books. Bibliographical evaluation of the jacket back cover advertising The Roy Blakeley Books through Roy Blakeley's Bee-Line Hike dates this specific Grosset & Dunlap printing to circa 1920. Author Percy Keese Fitzhugh wrote extensively for Grosset & Dunlap under the official endorsement of the Boy Scouts of America creating interconnected youth series that defined American juvenile fiction during the 1910s and 1920s. Bridgeboro scout characters created by Fitzhugh introduced millions of young readers to outdoor woodcraft patriotic service and military history. The publisher produced these volumes in uniform series bindings incorporating contemporary photographic imagery from Underwood & Underwood to reflect the technological atmosphere of early twentieth-century warfare. Early Grosset & Dunlap juvenile series titles published prior to 1922 are sought after by specialized children's literature preservationists and World War I fiction collectors. Fragile paper dust jackets from this period experienced an attrition rate exceeding ninety-nine percent due to immediate reader disposal upon purchase. Surviving copies retaining their original color pictorial dust wrappers represent uncommon publishing artifacts from the Golden Age of series books. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover

A glossy black-and-white frontispiece illustration by artist S. Schneider introduces the text which appeared under the house pseudonym Capt.

The Frontier Boys series reflects early twentieth-century American youth literature during a period of expanding Pacific travel and cultural interest following the 1898 annexation of Hawaii. Paper dust jackets produced on budget juvenile series between 1908 and 1912 suffered an extreme attrition rate as fragile paper wrappers were routinely discarded by contemporary readers making surviving jacketed copies increasingly uncommon.
