Per Wikipedia Sir James Hopwood Jeans Om Frs 1877 - 1946 Was An English Physicist Mathematician And An Astronomer. He Served As A Secretary Of The Royal Society From 1919 To 1929 And Was The President Of The Royal Astronomical Society From 1925 To 1927 And Won Its Gold Medal.Jeans Was Elected Fellow Of Trinity College In October 1901 And Taught At Cambridge But Went To Princeton University In 1904 As A Professor Of Applied Mathematics. He Returned To Cambridge In 1910. From 1923 To 1944 He Was Associated With Caltech's Mount Wilson Observatory. He Made Important Contributions In Many Areas Of Physics Including Quantum Theory The Theory Of Radiation And Stellar Evolution. Jeans Along With Arthur Eddington Is A Founder Of British Cosmology. His Scientific Reputation Is Grounded In The Monographs The Dynamical Theory Of Gases 1904 Theoretical Mechanics 1906 And Mathematical Theory Of Electricity And Magnetism 1908. After Retiring In 1929 He Wrote A Number Of Books For The Lay Public. One Of Jeans's Major Discoveries Named The Jeans Length Is A Critical Radius Of An Interstellar Cloud In Space. It Depends On The Temperature And Density Of The Cloud And The Mass Of The Particles Composing The Cloud. A Cloud That Is Smaller Than Its Jeans Length Will Not Have Sufficient Gravity To Overcome The Repulsive Gas Pressure Forces And Condense To Form A Star Whereas A Cloud That Is Larger Than Its Jeans Length Will Collapse. Jeans Came Up With Another Version Of This Equation Called The Jeans Mass Or The Jeans Instability That Solves For The Critical Mass A Cloud Must Attain Before Being Able To Collapse. Jeans Also Helped To Discover The Rayleigh-Jeans Law Which Relates The Energy Density Of Black-Body Radiation To The Temperature Of The Emission Source. Jeans Is Also Credited With Calculating The Rate Of Atmospheric Escape From A Planet Due To Kinetic Energy Of The Gas Molecules A Process Known As Jeans Escape. Cambridge University Press hardcover

Sklar Specialized In The Philosophy Of Physics Approaching A Wide Range Of Issues From A Position Best Described As Highly Skeptical Of Many Of The Metaphysical Conclusions Commonly Drawn In The Physical Sciences. He Advocated The 'Mimo' Metaphysics In Metaphysics Out Principle Claiming That Much Of The Metaphysical Content Of Interpreted Theories In The Special Sciences Arises From Metaphysical Assumptions Made During Their Formulation. Although Physics Has Moved Much Since 1985 His Books Are Still Quite Worthwhile Reading. University of California Press hardcover

Inscribed By Goldschmidt At Length To Raymond Toussaint. Near Fine Slight Usage. Per Wikipedia Bertrand Goldschmidt 1912 - 2002 Was A French Chemist. He Is Considered One Of The Fathers Of The French Atomic Bomb Which Was Tested For The First Time In 1960 In The Nuclear Test Gerboise Bleue. During The Battle Of France Goldschmidt Served In A Military Laboratory In Poitiers And Was Taken Prisoner By The Invading Germans. They Later Released Him And He Moved Into The Unoccupied Zone. He Taught For A Short Time In Montpellier Until The Post-Surrender Vichy Government Changed The Status Of Jews Under Pressure From The Germans. He Then Emigrated To The United States And Arrived In New York City In May 1941 Where He Joined The Free French Forces. Enrico Fermi Later Asked Goldschmidt To Join Him At Columbia University As One Of The Group Of Scientists Working On The Project Which Would Later Initiate The World's First Man-Made Self-Sustaining Nuclear Chain Reaction In The Chicago Pile-1 Experimental Reactor. Despite The Decision Of The U.S. Government To Refuse The Participation Of French Scientists Goldschmidt Was Permitted To Join The Group In July 1942. He Would Be The Only French Citizen To Participate In The Manhattan Project On U.S. Soil. He Worked In The Group Of Glenn Seaborg On The Development Of The Purex Process For Separation Of Plutonium And Uranium And Was Involved In The Extraction Of The First Gram Of Plutonium Produced In Chicago Pile-1. He Later Joined The Anglo-Canadian Nuclear Program At The Montreal Laboratory Where He Worked With Other French Scientists Such As Hans Von Halban Jules Guéron Pierre Auger And Lew Kowarski Who Would Join The Project In 1944. They Contributed To The Development Of Canada's First Nuclear Reactor The Zeep In September 1945. He Returned To France In 1946. Goldschmidt Was One Of The Founders Of The French Atomic Energy Commission Cea In 1945. In November 1949 He And His Collaborators Pierre Regnault Jean Sauteron And André Chesne Extracted The First Few Milligrams Of Plutonium From The Spent Fuel From The Zoé Nuclear Reactor At The Bouchet Plant In Ballancourt-Sur-Essonne An Essential Step For The Production Of The French Atomic Bomb.4 He Would Also Play A Critical Role In The Establishment Of The Israeli Nuclear Program. Goldschmidt Traveled To Israel In 1954 To Meet With David Ben-Gurion About Nuclear Issues And Would Serve Between 1956 And 1957 As One Of The Cea Officials In The Negotiations Leading To The Establishment Of The Dimona Nuclear Facility. Goldschmidt Headed The Department Of Chemistry Of The French Atomic Energy Commission Until 1960. He Is The Author Of Numerous Books On The History Of The Development Of Nuclear Energy. He Was The French Representative In The Board Of Governors Of The International Atomic Energy Agency From 1958 To 1980. Fayard paperback
