Plain white printed wraps with three holes punched near the spine as issued. 8vo. Previous owner's name C. P. Troemel on front wrapper. A later printing with white wrappers rather than the light blue wrappers. Wraps. Previous owner C. P. Troemel was a writer for Popular Electronics in the 1960s. The first separate appearance here in a later printing of this seminal paper in Monograph B-1239 of the Bell Telephone System Technical Publication series. First published in the Bell System Technical Journal July 1940 based on a presentation given at an IEEE Symposium on Network Theory in January 1940. This paper Bode's "best known and most succinct contribution to feedback theory" pre-dates Bode's better known work "Network Analysis and Feedback Amplifier Design" by 5 years and is the first publication on Bode plots. It is a seminal work in the field of control theory. "Henry Wade Bode was widely known as one of the most articulate thoughtful exponents of the philosophy and practice of systems engineering - the science and art of integrating technical components into a coherent system that is optimally adapted to its social function.Bode in 1929 transferred to Bell Labs' mathematical research group.and specialized in network theory and its application to long-distance communications. His extensive research in this field led eventually to the publication in 1945 of his classic book 'Network Analysis and Feedback Amplifier Design'.During his carrer at Bell he was granted 25 patents for innovations in the areas of transmission networks transformer systems electrical wave amplification broadband amplifiers and artillery computing.Bode received many honors during his career. In 1969 he was awarded the prestigious Edison Medal of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers IEEE 'for fundamental contributions to the arts of communication computation and control and for guidance and creative counsel in systems engineering.With the death of Hendrik Bode the country and university community lost of of the great engineering philosophers of his time." Memorial Tributes National Academy of Engineernig Vol. 3 While not known to the average citizen Bode is well known to engineering students for the Bode plot which allows engineers to characterize a feedback amplifier and it's useful range of operation. Practically speaking it helps engineers keep systems from operating at the extremes like the shrill noise we've all heard when someone using a microphone gets too close the speaker broadcasting their words. Like many things it was born from his need to solve a specific problem and finding that after a search of the literature nothing practical existed. "As a consequence of developing mathematical methods for designing feedback amplifiers to specified tolerances it became possible to design reliable vacuum-tube circuitry suitable for precision applications in early computers ."

1782rif. D17563Berlin: Bey Gottlieb August Lange 1782. First Edition thus. Hardcover. Very Good. Oblong folio 210 x 270mm. Pagination: viii 32pp. title 34 leaves of plates and 2 leaves of manuscript indices in German comprising registers based on Bodes Uranographie and dated 1801 bound in at end. Signatures: 4 a-e4 A-D4. Letterpress title page and text within twice-ruled borders. 34 hand-colored copperplate engravings and pictorial title page group of putti surrounding globe at base of column inscribed Die Gestirne signed by D. Berger Sculpt. 1782 i.e. Daniel Berger 17441825 all finely colored in a contemporary hand for the major star constellations and groups. Bodes plates have been celebrated for their accuracy and as elegantly rendered depictions of the zodiacal beasts constellations and other celestial bodies. Near contemporary calf; rebacked spine gilt with title Flamstead Gestirne corners carefully repaired; some light overall browning but plate colors remain fresh and bright a beautiful copy of this classic and significant work for astronomy. First edition of Johann Elert Bodes German version the Vorstellung der Gestirne after the smaller French Flamsteed star atlas by Fortin in 1776. In all the same but enlarged with Bodes newly engraved plates which included about 50 percent additional stars and constellations in improved positions over the 5000 stars included in Flamsteeds coordinate system. The Vorstellung der Gestirne was updated and reissued one more time by Bode in 1805 only after J. J. de Lalande and Pierre F. A. Mechain published their updated version of Fortins star atlas in 1795 and Christian Goldbach published his version in 1799. Johann Elert Bode 17471826 royal astronomer and director of the Berlin Observatory for almost 40 years sought to improve the coverage and accuracy of celestial cartography in his time he also wanted to provide charts for the amateur astronomer. Working alongside such contemporaries as Charles Messier 17301817 who first published the Messier objects list in 1771 and then again in 1781 Bodes Vorstellung der Gestirne also identified non-stellar objects like nebulae clusters and binary stars. The expert engraver of these whimsical night sky pictures Daniel Berger 17441825 came from a family of Berlin-based artists who were highly trained and well-regarded in their trade. This copy of the Vorstellung der Gestirne incorporates two manuscript leaves of added indices; the first register was based on Bodes later and larger star catalogue: the Uranographia sive Astrorum Descriptio 1801 containing summary counts and comparisons for stars. The other comprises a list about meridians arranged by time midnight and by the first day of the month. Doubtless an avid 19th century student of astronomy keenly familiar with Bodes works poured over both publications in order to create a larger reference system. It is an utterly unique addition to an already extraordinary publication representing the best in astronomical illustration and scientific advancement in the Age of Enlightenment.
