1993Best.-Nr. 81602Boston:: Beacon Press 1993. SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket. Uncommon in the first edition and especially so signed. First printing. A book which "concentrates on 17th- and 18th-century European developments in taxonomy and physical anthropology to show how the European male became the prototype of the human race; how women were reduced to a subset noted only for sexual differences; and how people of color were placed at inferior levels of the great chain of being on a par with apes. By celebrating sexuality in plants Erasmus Darwin and Linneaus did much to set the stage for thinking of females in terms of sexuality alone - leading Linneaus to choose the term 'mammals' to distinguish the order of warmblooded hairy animals - -but also to underscore women's role as nurturing caretakers. More shocking was the scholars' concern with female genitalia and sexual characteristics." Kirkus Winner of the 1994 Society for Social Studies of Science Ludwik Fleck Prize which noted that her "incisive book draws timely attention to the critical roles of language metaphor and ideology in the development of science." INSCRIBED by the author on the half title page to the late Oklahoma collector Larry Owens. Illustrated with reproductions of vintage drawings. Extensive notes bibliography index. viii 289 pp. Beacon Press, hardcover

By Thomas Thomson." New series Vol. I. VIII479 pp. a. 7 engraved plates. Entire volumes offered. Herapath's papers: pp. 273-293 340-351 a. 401-416. First printing of these contoversial papers where Herapath revived the kinetic theory of gases. His theory was more or less neglected by the scientific community at his time. The kinetic theory remained dormant and forgotten after Euler's and Bernouilli's work "until 1816 when Herapath proposed a theory which is essential Bernoulli's. Unfortunately he chose to define temperature as being proportional to the momentum rather than the kinetic energy of molecules. Herapath was the first to show more or less that kinetic theory can provide simple explanations for the changes of state diffusion and the propagation of sound."Trousdell "Essayas in the History of Mechanics" pp. 283 ff. unknown

First edition of these fundamental and highly influential Planck-papers in which he defines his concept of entropy and heat radiation and hereby ANTICIPATES HIS FAMOUS SEMINAL PAPER OF 1900 which redefined physics and took it to the 20th century. - The first two papers "Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge" were rewritten for the "Annalen" and was first introduced in "Sitzungsberichte d.k. Akad. Wissensch. zu Berlin"."By invoking the hypothesis of natural radiation Planck not only succeeded in obtaining a relation between the energy of the resonator and the intensity of radiation for a given wavelength or frequency but also in defining the entropy of radiation by a proper expression such that the change of the total entropy was always a positive quantity". Mehra Jagdish. The historical development of quantum theory 2001 p. 36. These results found in the period 1894-00 culminated in the present paper "Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge" and for the first time incorporates the concept of natural radiation and made a purely electromagnetic definition of entropy and of temperature. hardcover

Titlepage to vol. 2. Pp. 1-118 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Cavendish's paper: pp. 1-62. the torsion balance of Michell shown on the plates. First German edition of Cavendish's famous paper in which he calculated the weight of the earth and determined its mass. He also as the first observed gravitational motion of minute portions of matter. He estimates the earth's mass to 66 x 10 to the potential of 24 kg. The original paper "Experiments to determine the Density of the Earth" appeared in Philosophical Transaction 1798."Cavendish published five papers between 1784 and 1809.With one exception they were comparatively minor productions.The exception was his determination of the density of the earth or weighing of the world in 1798 by means of John Michell's torsion balance. The apparatus consisted of two lead balls on either end of a suspended beam; these movable balls were attracted by a pair of stationary lead balls. Cavendish calculated the the force of attraction between the balls fro the observed period of oscillation of the balance and deduced the density of the earth from the force. He found it to be 5.48 times that of water. Cavendish was the first to observe gravitational motions induced by comparatively minute portions of ordinary matter.By weighing the world he rendered the law of gravitation complete. The law was no longer a proportionally statement but a quantitatively exact one; this was the most importent addition to the science of gravitation since Newton."DSB III p. 158. unknown

The entire volume offered. Gerhardt's paper: pp. 285-342. Light scattered brownspots. First printing of an importent paper in which Gerhardt introduced the concept of "type" in organic chemistry in order to understand all substitution reactions."Gerhardt adopted Laurent's nucleus or unitary theory and combined it with the theory of types and radicals. In 1852 he discovered the anhydrides of organic acids and explained their structure by an extension of the water type of Williamson. He further proposed that all organic compounds could be related to one of four inorganic types: water hydrogen hydrogen chloride and ammonia. These types could be used to explain most organic reactions as double decompositions. Since Gerhard felt that the formula of organic compounds never ecpressed the actual structure of the molecule but only its reactions he was satisfied with this theory and carried it no farther. However it was a great advance in systematization and helped to bring order into the confused field of organic reactions."Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry 1400-1900" p. 351."Gerhardt will occupy a permanent position in the history of Chemistry for his services to organic classification for his concept of homology for his preparation of acid anhydrides and for his reform of equivalents."DSB V p. 374.The volume contains further importent papers Marcelin Berthelot "Sur la Bichlorhydrate D'Essence de Térébenthine" pp. 223-230 by Arago Edmond Becquerel etc.etc. hardcover
1803Best.-Nr. 44129Halle Rengerschen Buchhandlung 1803. Without wrappers as extracted from "Annalen der Physik. Herausgegeben von Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert" Bd. 12. Pp. 310-318 a. pp. 385-395. First German edition of both papers constituting the first 2 papers in his "Experimental Essays on the constitution of mixed gases." 1802 in which he formulated his famous gas laws and raised the foundation of the atomic theory in chemistry.The publication of these papers gave him at once international reputation they tried to explain why the gases of the atmosphere remain mixed instead of segregating with the heaviest element at the bottom it states that the maximum density of a vapour in contact with its liquid remains the same whether other gases be present or not and the vies that the particles of everykind of elastic fluid are elastic only with regard to their own kind and that the total pressure of the atmosphere equals the sum of the pressures exerted by the individual gases each of which excerts its pressure independently of the others. This was the first step toward his atomic theory of in chemistry. unknown

X636 pp. and 4 folded lithographed plates. Clausius's paper: pp. 239-258. The entire volume offered. Fine and clean. First printing of this main paper in the working out of the Kinetic Theory of Gases in which Clausius announced his determination of the equation governing the mean free path lenght of a molecule moving freely in gases. By this he inscribed his name as one of the founders of the Kinetic Theory of Gases."Clausius was one of the founders of the kinetic theory of gases and of the science of thermodynamics. He and Lord Kelvin at about the same time and independently announced the Second Law of thermodynamics. Clausius particularly developed the theory of thermodynamics by applying it to the study of gases and vapors."Magie in "A Source Book in Physics" p. 228."In order to analyze the process of molecular collisions Clausius adopted a simplified model for his admittedly complicated molecule. He assumed that whatever the actual patterns on intermolecular forces one could suppose that there is some advantage distance between the centers of molecules which would represent a general boundary between attractive and repulsive forces. If two molecules were to approach each other within that boundary repulsion would generally occur. Thus the very complex problem of intermolecular action was reduced to a "billiard ball" model."

Dumas' paper: pp. 149-178. First appearance of this paper which was published the same year in 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique' is the most importent on the theory of structural types and the nomenclature of organic compounds refuting the electrochemical theory of Berzelius. "The development of this idea type organique into what is sometimes called the "Older Type Theory" as distinguished from Gerhardt's Type heory is contained in Dumas' importent memoir on the substitution and the theory of types presented on 3 febriary 1840."Partington IV p. 365. "Jean Baptiste Dumas advances a theory that the chemical properties of an organic compound are determined by its structure and not as seems to be the case with inorganic compounds by its electrical properties. he illustrates the concept with the example that the basic qualitative properties of acetic acid are retained even after replacing three fourths of the hydrogen by chlorine. As a consequence he calls for a revision of chemical nomenclature for organic compounds basing terms on common features not on elemental composition."Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1840 C. unknown
