2004DEDALO 2004 INTRODUZIONE DI JOHN MADDOX SEGNI DEL TEMPO ALLA COPERTINA, OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI. Com'è nato l'universo? Cos'è l'intelligenza? Come si è evoluto il linguaggio? Possiamo sconfiggere la fame nel mondo? Come inizia e finisce un amore? Dalla fisica alla psicologia, dalla medicina alla filosofia, questo volume illustra il punto di vista della scienza sui grandi interrogativi che da sempre suscitano la curiosità e la riflessione degli studiosi e dell'uomo comune. Alla carrellata delle diverse teorie che, nel corso dei secoli, hanno avanzato ipotesi risolutive di questi interrogativi, si affianca la presentazione degli sviluppi più recenti che hanno aperto nuovi spiragli di indagine su alcuni dei più grandi misteri dell'esistenza.

2016ill., br. Quando la sorprendente indeterminazione della meccanica quantistica travolse il mondo ordinato della fisica newtoniana, Albert Einstein e Erwin Schrödinger erano in prima linea nella rivoluzione. Entrambi però rimasero sempre insoddisfatti dell'interpretazione "ortodossa" della meccanica quantistica e si ribellarono a ciò che consideravano la sua caratteristica più irragionevole: la casualità. Einstein protestò con una battuta che "Dio non gioca a dadi con l'Universo", mentre Schrödinger costruì il celebre paradosso di un gatto che era vivo e morto contemporaneamente. Ma questi due giganti non si limitarono a opporsi, cercarono di formulare una teoria onnicomprensiva che rendesse nuovamente sensato l'Universo. Il fisico Paul Halpern racconta la vicenda di come Einstein e Schrödinger abbiano cercato di trascendere gli aspetti bizzarri dei quanti, dando ai lettori spunti originali circa la storia della fisica e raccontando l'impresa di due scienziati le cui ossessioni ne hanno guidato il progresso.

M. S. Blackett' see below with Blackett's ownership inscription in blue ink to front free endpaper.First English edition with a preface by Einstein of this work arguing for nuclear disarmament translated by the gardener novelist and anarchist Edward Byams this copy from the library of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Patrick Blackett whose own work is discussed at length in the book.Jules Moch 1893-1985 worked as a French Resistance organiser during the war later became a senior minister in several post-war governments and was France's delegate to the UN Disarmament Committee for 1951-1960. It was this latter role that informed the principles he sets forth in Human Folly which argue for multilateral nuclear disarmament. Divided into two parts the first examines the destructive capacities of modern warfare before tracing the recent history of disarmament negotiations. Moch attempts to represent both Soviet and Western positions with fairness concluding that the divisions between the two are gradually narrowing. Though he does not regard the situation as entirely hopeless he presents it as one of pressing urgency. The preface by Albert Einstein one of Moch's most eminent supporters makes clear peace can only arise from political will: 'Those who do not believe in the possibility of the attainment of a lasting and assured peace or have not the courage to act accordingly are ripe for destruction' p. 8. Provenance: front free endpaper with the ownership inscription of Patrick Blackett 1897-1974 with his occasional underlining throughout and one word 'Target' in pencil to the top of p. 10. Blackett was awarded the 1948 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering work in nuclear physics and cosmic radiation including experiments demonstrating nuclear transmutation and important early research into the positron. During the Second World War he headed Operational Research at the Admiralty where his statistical criticism of the RAF blanket bombing campaigns led to increasing ostracism from the military authority. His opposition to mass destruction later informed his belief that Britain should not develop nuclear weapons. Combined with his openly socialist views this attracted the attention of MI5 and led to his inclusion on George Orwell's list of alleged 'crypto-communists' contributing to his marginalisation by the post-war Labour government. Blackett's book The Military and Economic Consequences of Atomic Energy 1948 is discussed at length by Moch pp. 117-19. Written before the development of second-generation thermonuclear weapons Blackett had estimated that thousands of atomic bombs would be required to destroy the United States or the Soviet Union when at the time only a few dozen existed. As Moch observes on p. 121 however 'today a few dozen thermonuclear bombs would produce the same results'. It is particularly notable that Blackett has not annotated the passages explicitly discussing his work. This copy of Human Folly is offered with Blackett's pamphlet The Atom and the Charter which discusses the extent to which 'the advent of atomic bombs necessitates changes in the procedure for the application of sanctions under the Charter of the United Nations Organisation' issued by Victor Gollancz and the socialist Fabian Society on behalf of the Association of Scientific Workers a scientific trade union of which Blackett was president. hardcover

Limited to 3000 Copies in the original glassine outer wrapper. 8vo. 40 pp. With black and white photographs of Albert Einstein and Frank Back. A fine copy in handmade decorative paper covered boards printed glossy paper label to the upper cover. The volume dedicated to Albert Einstein is the only book written by Dr. Frank Back "The Father of the Zoom Lens" and creator of the first widely used zoom lenses for film and television. Dr. Back a close friend of Albert Einstein was persuaded by Einstein to take the trip commemorated in this beautifully produced volume in order to capture the total eclipse of the sun which occurred on June 20 1955. Dr. Back intended to provide conclusive evidence for Einstein's theory of relativity by calculating the optical distortion if any of starlight caused by the sun's gravity. In 1919 Einstein's general relativity principles were supported by observations of a solar eclipse. The two scientists conferred on the project for over a year. Armed with a special Zoomar designed and built wide-angle solar-eclipse spectrograph Dr. Back was off to the Philippine Islands to board a military jet and chase the eclipse. Einstein however died while Back was on his way to Manila. Unable to report the excursion to his friend Dr. Back dedicated this book to his memory. In a TBCL dark green cloth slipcase.

This photograph was taken circa 1954 and is one of the images published in this limited edition. With An 18" x 22" blueprint folded of the Solar Eclipse Spectrograph size "C" drawing. It was made from the original drawing dated 4/1/55 drawn by Zoomar's Chief Designer Alfred Joseph Quittner "AJQ" & approved by Dr. Back "FGB". A very interesting package indeed. Dr. Back was a very close friend of Albert Einstein. Dr. Einstein persuaded the author to take the trip commemorated in this beautifully produced volume in order to capture the total eclipse of the sun which occurred on June 20 1955. Dr. Back intended to provide conclusive evidence for Einstein's theory of relativity by calculating the optical distortion if any of starlight caused by the sun's gravity. Earlier in 1919 Einstein's general relativity principles were supported by observations of a solar eclipse. The two scientists conferred on the project for over a year. Armed with a special Zoomar designed & built wide-angle solar-eclipse spectrograph Dr. Back was off to the Philippine Islands to board a military jet & chase the eclipse. Einstein however died while Back was on his way to Manila. Unable to report the excursion to his friend Dr. Back dedicated this book to his memory. Dr. Frank Back held over 200 patents directly relating to photographic equipment. He was the founder & president of Zoomar Inc. The photographic term " zoom" was derived from Zoomar. Dr. Back created the first widely used zoom lenses for motion picture and television; then in 1959 introduced the first zoom lens for still cameras with the introduction of the 36-82mm/f2.8 Voigtlander Zoomar. Dr. Back & Zoomar purchased the great Heinz Kilfitt optical factory of Munich Germany in 1966 & it became a subsidiary of Zoomar Inc. This volume was never widely distributed & when Zoomar Inc. ceased operations at Glen Cove Long Island many cases of this book were discovered & unceremoniously trashed. The existing number of copies is unknown but the book is not frequently encountered. This copy came from the personal estate of Dr. Frank Gerald Back & it is one of the few copies signed by him. An excellent example suited for collectors of Science Astronomy Einstein Zoomar or Photographic History in general. In a lovely custom clamshell case with a window insert displaying the original Einstein/Back photo. On page 13 there is a typo. He wrote July 301954 instead of June 30 1954 and was never changed.
