1976Ex-library copy with the usual stamps and markings. Interior pages clean and unmarked; tight binding. 321 pages. Small tear at top of spine. This book provides a summary of the same theory covered in another book by the same author, titled Engineering Field Theory, together with a large number of worked examples and worked solutions. The first part of the book develops the concept of flux starting with electric flux and proceeding to applications in gravitation, ideal fluid flow, and magnetism. The second part introduces the concept of potential, again starting with electrical potential, and proceeds to applications in gravitation, electric conduction, fluid flow through permeable media, conductive heat transfer, ideal fluid flow, and magnetism. Attention is given to static fields, and although there is a chapter on electromagnetic induction, time -varying fields are not included. The book has 104 diagrams, 145 worked examples, and 244 problems with their worked solutions.

Describes the Soviet success in acheiving space flight with Sputnik and with particluar reference to the first manned space flight which was carried out by Yuri Gagarin.

18124 vols. bound in 2 and plate volume. (2), XL, 318 pp. (4), 296, (4) pp. (2), XX, 368 pp. (4), VIII, 333, (3) pp. Plate vol.: 24, 12 pp. With 17 (12 coloured) plates. Contemp. cloth with giltstamped red spine labels. 8vo and 4to. Second edition of Goethe's principal scientific work, the "Farbenlehre" (Sämmtliche Schriften, vols. XX-XXIII, with half titles), including the quarto-sized "Erklärung der zur Goethe’s Farbenlehre gehörigen Tafeln" and the "Anzeige und Übersicht", which is also usually found missing. "Goethe's first publication on optics culminated in his 'Zur Farbenlehre', his longest and, in his own view, best work, today known principally as a fierce and unsuccessful attack on Newton's demonstration that white light is composite" (DSB V, 445). In 1810-17, Geistinger published a pirated edition of Goethe's works; the "Farbenlehre" was issued both separately with its own title page and as part of the collected works. The scarcity of Geistinger's edition (the only one published during the author's lifetime to include the "Farbenlehre") is dicussed by K. Dorn in his article "Habent sua fata libelli", in: Aus dem Antiquariat 1988, p. 379f. Goethe counted this edition of his works among the good ones, but himself owned only an incomplete copy. - Much rarer than the edition published in 1810: not in ABPC auction records since 1975; OCLC lists only two copies (Johns Hopkins Univ., San Diego Univ.). - Slightly browned and brownstained; plate volume foxed; plates trimmed and mounted on backing paper. A very nice copy with old ownership stamp from a school in Tulln/Donau on flyleaf of plate volume. Hagen 348, 348 b-c. Kippenberg 387 & 388. Goedeke IV/3, 583, 46 a 1. Schmid 68-71 & 77-79.
8vo and 4to. 2 vols. and volume of plates. XLVIII, 654 pp. XXVIII, 757 pp. With 17 plates (12 in colour; with the extra plate after no. II). Contemporary half calf with giltstamped Saxon arms on covers. Edges marbled. First edition of Goethe's principal scientific work, the "Farbenlehre", including the quarto-sized "Erklärung der zur Goethe’s Farbenlehre gehörigen Tafeln". "Goethe's first publication on optics culminated in his 'Zur Farbenlehre', his longest and, in his own view, best work, today known principally as a fierce and unsuccessful attack on Newton's demonstration that white light is composite" (DSB V, 445). The plates are of various sizes, showing this to be the earliest impression of the 17-plate set, but do not have the manuscript corrections present in some copies (cf. Hagen, p. 170). - Bindings somewhat rubbed; occasional brownstaining due to paper. A fine, complete copy in its first binding, originally in the library of the Dukes of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach: gilt Saxon arms on the marbled covers; armorial stamps to all titles. Most famously, Duke Karl August was Goethe's friend, lord, and benefactor. Hagen 347, 347 d. Goedeke IV 3, 583 (46). Kippenberg I, 386, 389. Hirzel A 288. Speck 2289/90. Schmid 55-58. Brieger 733.
