1907rif. 433121907. Offprint from "Zeitschrift für Elektrochemie" 1907. Single sheet pp. 41-42. 287 x 206 mm. Chipped several marginal tears some toning. Fair. First edition offprint issue. "In 1907 Einstein published a paper entitled 'Theoretical Observations on the Brownian Motion' in which he considered the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle. Einstein showed that by measuring this quantity one could prove that 'the kinetic energy of the motion of the center of gravity of a particle is independent of the size and nature of the particle and independent of the nature of its environment.' This is one of the basic tenets of statistical mechanics known as the equipartition theorem. However Einstein concluded that due to the very rapid randomization of the motion the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle would be impossible to measure in practice.

In his landmark 1905 paper on special relativity Einstein used the velocity-dependent concepts of transverse and longitudinal mass for the moving electron these terms have now been replaced with the concept of relativistic mass first defined by Lewis and Tolman in 1909. In the present paper Einstein proposed an experimental method for determining the ratio of the transverse to the longitudinal mass and invited experimentalists to verify his special theory of relativity. Einstein later abandoned velocity-dependent mass concepts stating in 1948 that "it is better to introduce no other mass concept than the rest mass" quoted in L. B.

Boni's Einstein Checklist no. 14 John William Strutt third Baron Rayleigh Lord Rayleigh 1842-1919 was a british mathematician and physicist; he was one of the very few members of higher nobility who won fame as an outstanding scientist. Rayleigh was born as the son of John James Strutt second Baron and his wife Clara Elizabeth La Touche eldest daughter of Captain Richard Vicars R.E. Lord Rayleigh was awarded the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his investigations of the densities of the most important gases for his discovery of argon in connection with these studies." Rayleigh provided the first theoretical treatment of the elastic scattering of light by particles much smaller than the light's wavelength now known as "Rayleigh scattering" - a process which notably explains why the sky is blue. He also made extensive contributions to fluid dynamics e.g. the Rayleigh number critereon for the stability of the Taylor-Couette flow etc. Rayleigh also formulated the circulation theory of aerodynamic lift. His derivation of the Rayleigh-Jeans law for classical black body radiation played an important role in the birth of quantum mechanics i.e. the Ultraviolet catastrophe. During the first World War he was president of the United Kingdom government's Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Notable students of the 3rd Lord Rayleigh include J.J. Thomson 1856-1940 and Sir William Ramsay 1852-1916 who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904 "in recognition of his services in the discovery of the elements in air." In 1871 he married Evelyn Balfour sister of the future prime minister the Earl of Balfour and daughter of James Maitland Balfour and his wide Blanche the daughter of the second Marquis of Salisbury. They had three sons the eldest of whom Robert John Strutt 1875-1946 was to become Professor of Physics at Imperial College of Science and Technology London.

In 1916 after publishing his great work on general relativity Einstein returned to the question of blackbody radiation. In November 1916 he wrote to his friend Besso that "a splendid light has dawned on me about the absorption and emission of radiation" quoted in Pais p. 405 one that led him to a new derivation of Planck's radiation law and convinced him of the reality of light-quanta photons. After publishing these results in three papers culminating with the famous "Zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung" 1917 Einstein kept looking for "new ways in which the existence of photons might lead to observable derivations from the classical picture" Pais p. 413. He found none until 1923 when Arthur Compton and Peter Debye independently derived the relativistic kinematics for the scattering of a photon off an electron at rest. The work of Compton and Debye led Wolfgang Pauli to extend Einstein's work of 1917 to the case of radiation in equilibrium with free electrons see Pais p. 414n. "Pauli examined the requirements of detailed balance under Lorentz transformations and found that scattering of light by free electrons must include a term of a form which we would now call stimulated emission . . . Einstein and Ehrenfest then showed that Pauli's results could be obtained by an extension of Einstein's 1917 paper with the unnecessary specialization to discrete energy levels removed . . . The core of Einstein's argument is that the scattering process should be broken into two parts: the absorption of energy from radiation of frequency 1 and the emission of energy as radiation of frequency 2" Lewis p. 42.

First printing of a major paper in Quantum Theory introducing the first systematic introduction of probability factors in Quantum Theory."From 1905 through 1909 Einstein published five major papers on the hypothesis of energy quanta its theoretical implications and its use in the explanation of various phenomena. Among these papers we have his importent paper "Die Plancksche." and in his second paper from 1906d he asserted that Planck's derivation implicitly assumes quantification of the enrgies of charged oscillators. Now in the paper offered he returned to this question showing that if the structure function in phase space he had introduced earlier is assumed to restrict the oscillators to orbits with energies that are integral mulætiples of 'hv' then the average oscillator energy in a canonical ensemble yealds Planck's law when substituted in eg. The works contains the first systematic introduction of probability factors in the mathematics of Quantum Theory." Weil: nos 15 1-2 with an asterix denoting a major paper. - Boni: 15. unknown

Very good. 1 First Edition in Journal Form Revised of Einstein's doctoral thesis ranked by his biographer as being on the same level as his 1905 papers on relativity the light quanta and Brownian motion. In his thesis Einstein presented a new theoretical method for determining molecular radii and Avogadro's number the number of atoms or molecules needed to make up a mass equal to a substance's atomic or molecular weight in grams. The thesis appeared in print in the spring of 1905; in the journal version published at the beginning of 1906 Einstein added a brief appendix containing an improved value of Avogadro's number. Einstein's biographer Abraham Pais wrote of Einstein's thesis as follows: "It is not sufficiently realized that Einstein's thesis is one of his most fundamental papers. Histories and biographies invariably refer to 1905 as the miraculous year because of his article on relativity the light-quantum and Brownian motion. In my opinion the thesis is on a par with the Brownian motion article. In fact in some-not all-respects his results on Brownian motion are by-products of his thesis work emphasis ours. This goes a long way toward explaining why the paper on Brownian motion was received by the Annalen der Physik on May 11 1905 only eleven days after the thesis had been completed. "Three weeks after the thesis was accepted this same journal received a copy of the thesis for publication. It was published only after Einstein supplied a brief addendum in January 1906. . . . As a result of these various delays the thesis appeared as a paper in the Annalen der Physik only after the Brownian motion article had come out in the same journal. This may have helped create the impression in some quarters that the relation between diffusion and viscosity-a very important equation due to Einstein and Sutherland-was first obtained in Einstein's paper on Brownian motion. Actually it first appeared in his thesis . . . ." "Quite apart from the fundamental nature of some results obtained in the thesis there is another reason why this paper is of uncommon interest: it has had more widespread practical applications than any other paper Einstein ever wrote . . . . The thesis dealing with bulk rheological properties of particle suspensions contains results which have an extraordinarily wide range of applications. They are relevant to the construction industry the motion of sand particles in cement mixes to the dairy industry the motion of casein micelles in cow's milk and to ecology the motion of aerosol particles in clouds to mention but a few scattered examples. Einstein might have enjoyed hearing this since he was quite fond of applying physics to practical situations" Pais Subtle is the Lord pp. 89-90. Pais notes that during the period 1970-1974 the 1906 journal version of Einstein's thesis was cited four times more often than his 1916 paper on general relativity and eight times more often than his 1905 paper on light quanta. 2 First Edition of Einstein's second paper on Brownian motion containing two further methods for finding Avogadro's number.

In fine condition. Translated and edited with an introduction by Leon Simon. An exceptional presentation. Einstein was a prominent supporter of both Labor Zionism and efforts to encourage Jewish-Arab cooperation. He supported the creation of a Jewish national homeland in the British mandate of Palestine but was opposed to the idea of a Jewish state "with borders an army and a measure of temporal power." In a letter to Jawaharlal Nehru dated June 13 1947 he asserted "Long before the emergence of Hitler I made the cause of Zionism mine because through it I saw a means of correcting a flagrant wrong.The Jewish people alone has for centuries been in the anomalous position of being victimized and hounded as a people though bereft of all the rights and protections which even the smallest people normally has.Zionism offered the means of ending this discrimination." Einstein's speeches lectures and letters concerning Zionism were first published in 1930 by The Soncino Press and eleven of these essays were later collected in The World as I See It published in 1933 which Einstein dedicated "to the Jews of Germany".

1906rif. 602Leipzig: Barth 1906. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine. FIRST EDITION of two important Einstein papers including one of the two papers on his Noble Prize winning work on the photoelectric effect. On the Theory of Light Production and Light Absorption: A continuation and development of Einstein's revolutionary first paper in 1905 on the photoelectric effect "On a Heuristic Point of View about the Creation and Conversion of Light". "In a companion paper to "On a Heuristic Point." published in 1906 Einstein exposed appeal to the quantum as fundamentally counter to the ethos of classical physics: 'the theoretical bases on which Planck's radiation theory rests are different from those of Maxwell's theory'. Planck had not initially intended to quantify light-radiation itself but Einstein demonstrated that his own 'light-quantum hypothesis' was implicit in Planck's earlier work. In viewing radiation not as a continuous wave but as composed of small packets of energy later called photons Einstein was again shaking the foundations of classical physics" Honner The Description of Nature 31. Particle Physics: One Hundred Years of Discoveries: "Corpuscular-wave dualism for photons. Explanation of the photoelectric effect using the quantum hypothesis of Planck. Nobel prize to A. Einstein awarded in 1921 'for services to Theoretical Physics and especially of he law of the photoelectric effect.'" Weil 12. The Principle of Conservation of Motion of the Center of Gravity and the Inertia of Energy: Einstein's further development of E=mc2.

1944rif. 182569London: The Jewish Agency for Palestine 1944. First separate edition of Einstein's appeal for Zionism. Einstein was one of the most prominent international supports of Zionism. He argues Palestine is the only place historically spiritually and culturally tied to the Jewish people. Whereas the Arabs with many homelands the Jews have nowhere else to go. Their claims are rooted not in conquest or nationalism but in justice and survival. The article was originally published in the Princeton Herald earlier that year.
