Dust Jacket Priced $3.75 Slight Usage. Dust Jacket Blurbs By William O. Douglas Robert M. Hutchins Paul B. Sears Harold C. Urey Albert Einstein H. J. Muller; Brown Was An Outstanding Scientist Himself; But Few World Politicians Or Business Leaders 1946 To Present Ever Tried To Seriously Address These Issues Apparently Because They're Not There Primarily For The General Welfare. Harrison Scott Brown 1917 - 1986 Was An American Nuclear Chemist And Geochemist. He Was A Political Activist Who Lectured And Wrote On The Issues Of Arms Limitation Natural Resources And World Hunger. During World War Ii Brown Worked At The Manhattan Project's Metallurgical Laboratory And Clinton Engineer Works Where He Worked On Ways To Separate Plutonium From Uranium. The Techniques He Helped Develop Were Used At The Hanford Site To Produce The Plutonium Used In The Fat Man Bomb Dropped On Nagasaki. After The War He Lectured On The Dangers Of Nuclear Weapons. After The War He Worked At The University Of Chicago Where He Pioneered Nuclear Geochemistry. The Study Of Meteorites By Brown And His Students Led To The First Close Approximation Of The Age Of The Earth And The Solar System. In 1948 Brown Was Awarded The American Association For The Advancement Of Science Prize For His Work On Meteorites.Between 1951 And 1977 He Worked At The California Institute Of Technology Caltech Where He Contributed To Advances In Telescopic Instrumentation Jet Propulsion And Infrared Astronomy. While There He Attracted Several Former Colleagues And Highly Regarded Scientists To The Team. Together They Made Advancements In Telescopic Instrumentation Jet Propulsion Contributing To Nasa's Early Planetary Exploration Missions And Infrared Astronomy. In June 1954 He Was One Of Twenty Scientists Under The Age Of Forty Identified By Fortune Magazine As "Top Young Scientists In U. S. Universities And Industry". In The Early 1970S He Began Working More Directly On The Resource/Environment Issues That He Had Been Developing In His Books. In 1977 He Became Director Of The Newly Created Resource Systems Institute Of The East-West Center In Hawaii Where He Turned Full Time To Work On Understanding And Influencing The Interactions Of Energy Mineral And Food Systems In The Asia-Pacific Region Themes He Had Developed In His Books Since The 1950S.

More and more frequently Einstein chose his assistants from mathematicians." One of the chief of them at that time was Professor Walter Mayer a small round individual who at first sight seemed crushed beneath the personality of Einstein. Einstein's family called him Mayerle and this Swabian diminutive suited him to perfection. But in Mayer's self-effacement there was more affection than respect. He gently contradicted Einstein interrupted him when necessary follwed up an argument and smiled a little mysteriously his head on one side as he watched the figures drawn up in front of him. "It is he who produced all my calculations; his skill is fantastic you know "Einstein used to say. In October 1933 Mayer followed Einstein in his American exile. -cf.

1927rif. 1663Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wiss 1927. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OFFPRINT ISSUE IN ORIGINAL PAPER WRAPS VERY GOOD CONDITION. "Einstein and Grommer's work treats the particle as a singularity in the field and attemptss to obtain the equations of motion by imposing conditions on the exterior field in the neighborhood of the singularity" Stachel Einstein from 'B' to'Z' pp. 507. Weil 155. In 1927 Einstein's research "concentrated on a new approach to the problem of the motion of particles in a general field theory" Mehra The Golden Age of Theoretical Physics 997. He presented his work conducted with Jakob Grommer in this report. Einstein and Grommer here show that 'in the case of a pure gravitational field the mechanical behavior of singularities can be derived' a result which in Einstein's opinion 'opened the possibility to obtain on the basis of the field equations a theory of matter characterized as discontinuities in space' ibid 997; Einstein and Grommer 1927. "After Einstein had tried for years to obtain a theory of material particles in a generalized field theory by describing these objects with the help of continuous functions Einstein and Grommer now proposed 'to consider elementary particles as singular points or singular world lines respectively' motivated by the observation 'that both the equations of the pure gravitational field and the equations augmented by Maxwell's electromagnetic field possess simple spherically-symmetric solutions which contain a singularity' ibid. Finally they arrived at the result: In the approximation of the gravitational field obtained by solving linearized equations the equation of motion for a singularity is completely determined - at least in the case of equilibrium - and corresponds to the law of a geodetic line" ibid.

1913rif. 50339Leipzig: Johann Ambrosius Barth 1913. Einstein Albert 1879-1955. Einige argumente fur die annahme einer molekularen agitaation beim absoluten nullpunkt. In Annalen der Physik 40 pp.551-560. With: Otto Stern 1888-1969. Red cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. Whole volume: 1056 pp. 1 plate. 210 x 130 mm. A very good copy. "Some arguments for the assumption of molecular agitation at absolute zero." In this paper Einstein and Stern show that the quantum theory of solids to give the best agreement with experiments at normal temperatures seems to demand that at absolute zero a residual energy would remain in the solids which they term "zero-point energy." They thus introduced this important concept to physics." p. 292. Calaprice Kennefick & Shulmann. An Einstein Encyclopedia. 2015. Otto Stern was a German-American physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He was the second most nominated person for a Nobel Prize with 82 nominations in the years 1925-1945 ultimately winning in 1943 "for his contribution to the development of the molecular rat method and his discovery of the magnetic moment of the proton". In 1912 Stern did his doctoral dissertation in concentrated solutions. After receiving his Ph.D. degree Stern took advantage of his economic independence to join Albert Einstein at Prague. Stern was with Einstein from the spring of 1912 until 1914. Weil's Bibliography no. 53. . Johann Ambrosius Barth unknown
