He was musically inclined having invented the 31EDO pipe organ. He earned his doctorate in 1913 continuing his studies with Albert Einstein Ernest Rutheford 1871-1937 and William Bragg 1862-1942. In his 1913 thesis he derived the Fokker-Planck equation with Max Planck 1858-1947. Fokker made contributions to special relativity and general relativity particularly the effects of the curvature of space-time formally called "geodetic precession". Wikipedia. .

Second edition first printing. 1945 LANDMARK SUMMARY OF NOBELIST ALBERT EINSTEIN'S THEORIES THAT ESTABLISHED MODERN PHYSICS--COPY OF NOBELIST CARLETON GAJDUSEK WHO DISCOVERED KURU THE FIRST PRION DISEASE. 8 inches tall hardcover gray cloth binding gilt title to spine decorative bookplate of D. Carleton Gajdusek to front paste-down signature of D. Carleton Gajdusek to front free endpaper vi 135 pp near fine in very good unclipped jacket with faint splash mark to cover light wear to spine ends and corners in protective mylar sleeve. This first printing of the second edition contains an appendix added by the author discussing advances in the theory of relativity since the first edition in 1921. ALBERT EINSTEIN 1879 – 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. In 1922 he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The Meaning of Relativity: Four Lectures Delivered at Princeton University May 1921 is a book published by Princeton University Press in 1922 that compiled the 1921 Stafford Little Lectures at Princeton University given by Albert Einstein. The lectures were translated into English by Edwin Plimpton Adams. The lectures and the subsequent book were Einstein's last attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of his theory of relativity and is his only book that provides an accessible overview of the physics and mathematics of general relativity. The book is made of four lectures. The first is titled "Space and Time in Pre-Relativity Physics". The second lecture is titled The Theory of Special Relativity and discusses the special theory of relativity. The third and fourth lectures cover the general theory of relativity in two parts. Einstein added an appendix to update the book for its second edition published in 1945 offered here. PROVENANCE: DANIEL CARLTON GAJDUSEK 1923-2008 was an American medical doctor and researcher who was co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976 for his work in Kuru the first prion disease. Gajdusek graduated from Harvard Medical school at age 23 served as head of virological and neurological research at the National Institute for Health in 1958; and inducted into the National Academy of sciences in 1974. Gajdusek's best-known work focused on kuru. This disease was rampant among the South Fore people of New Guinea in the 1950s and 1960s. Gajdusek connected the spread of the disease to the practice of funerary cannibalism by the South Fore. With elimination of cannibalism kuru disappeared among the South Fore within a generation. He proved his hypothesis by successfully transmitting the disease to primates and demonstrating that it had an unusually long incubation period of several years. This was the first demonstration of the infectious spread of a noninflammatory degenerative disease in humans. Subsequently additional human agents belonging to the same group were discovered. They include sporadic familial and variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. Gajdusek recognized that diseases like Kuru and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease were caused by a new infectious agent that had not yet been identified. Princeton University Press hardcover books

1915réf. 14657Leipzig and Berlin: B.G. Teubner 1915. With frontispiece portrait of Minkowski and text figures. Boards spine and corners frayed and cracking. Sammelband containing the original papers on the special and general theories of relativity with a foreword by O. Blumenthal. It is in Minkowski's famous paper Raum und Zeit Space and time that he proposes the concept of time as the fourth dimension and initiates a mathematical study that became the basis of the later development of the theory. Included here is the re-issue of that work by Einstein and Lorentz with notes by A. Sommerfeld published after Minkowski's untimely death along with other papers by the two scientists whose works led to the abandonment of space and time as separate entities.

Catalog published on the occasion of an exhibition of paintings and drawings by George Grosz held during the Spring of 1926 in Berlin at the Galerie Alfred Flechtheim. This catalog features 24 duo-tone and b/w photographic reproductions. Includes a poem by Gottfried Benn and four essay on the artist and his work by Carl Einstein Marc Neven Max Herrmann and Florent Fels. Some age-wear and moderate soiling on wrappers. Upper corners bumped thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Text in German gothic script with one of the four essays in French. Wrappers in overall good- to good interior in good to very good condition. Alfred Flechtheim 1878-1937 was a German art dealer art collector journalist and publisher. Flechtheim appeared in the art world shortly after 1900 with a collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne; French Avant garde early works of Pablo Picasso Georges Braque and André Derain; paintings of Wassily Kandinsky Maurice de Vlaminck Alexej von Jawlensky Gabriele Münter and the Rhein Expressionists Heinrich Campendonk August Macke Heinrich Nauen de and Paul Adolf Seehaus de. Flechtheim opened his first gallery in Düsseldorf in 1913 followed by galleries in Berlin Frankfurt Cologne and Vienna. Flechtheim served in the German Army during World War I but not at the front. His art business collapsed during the war but he re-opened in Düsseldorf in 1919. In 1921 he founded "Der Querschnitt" the Cross Section a cultural magazine. Legendary glamorous parties in Flechtheim's gallery overflowed with the glitterati of the new Berlin: movie stars titans of finance prizefighters and artists of every stripe. As Hitler rose to power in the late 1920s and early 1930s Flechtheim became a bête noire because of the art he espoused and championed. In 1933 Sturmabteilung men broke up an auction of Flechtheim's paintings. The Nazis aryanized Flechtheim's gallery as they would many other Jewish businesses and turned it over to Flechtheim's business manager Alex Vömel. After the war former party member Vömel said he didn't even remember who Flechtheim was. The Nazis seized and sold off Flechtheim's private collection as well as the contents of his gallery. Emigration and Death Six months after the Nazis came to power in 1933 Flechtheim penniless fled to Paris and tried to find work with his former business partner Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Flechtheim subsequently organized exhibits in London of the paintings of exiled German artists. In London Flechtheim slipped on a patch of ice was taken to a hospital punctured his leg on a rusty nail in his hospital bed developed septicemia leading to amputation of his leg and died.
