1878réf. 572London: Macmillan 1878. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF GEORGE DARWIN'S FISSION THEORY OF THE FORMATION OF THE MOON. The history of modern lunar origin theory dates to this paper. A reprint of this paper was published in the 1879 Philosophical Transactions; that paper is sometimes misidentified as a first edition but it is not. This paper the one appearing in 1878 in Nature is the true first. "Before Kuiper revived the double planet thesis George Darwin son of the famous British naturalist had in 1878 advanced an attractive alternative. Drawing on the pronounced tidal effects exerted between the earth and moon Darwin speculated that the moon's mass had been ejected from a fluid and rapidly spinning protoearth when centrifugal force and solar tides acting on matter in the earth's equatorial plane exceeded the force of gravity. In time the moon moved out to its present orbit and attained its coincident period of rotation and revolution as a result of tidal interactions between the two bodies. Darwin proposed that these tidal effects on the spherical shape of the earth have changed as the moon has moved farther away in its orbit. Darwin's proposed idea for the creation of the moon came to be known as the "fission theory" of lunar formation. This theory basically stated that the moon broke away from the earth due to its rapid rotation. From this he also calculated that it would have taken at least 56 million years for the moon to reach its current distance from the earth" Giedd Tidal Friction. Darwin argues "that tides raised by the Moon imply an Earth much closer to the Moon far in the past. Modeling Earth and Moon as a viscous liquid rather than a system dominated by oceans and basins Darwin calculated that the two bodies merged about 50 million years ago with the system rotating every five hours" Crottis The New Moon 159.

1881réf. 27509AB1881. London and New York Macmillan and Co. 1881. 4°. XVI 624 pages including an original full page potrtrait-engraving of scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Original Hardcover recently beautifully rebacked with gilt lettering on spine. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Pages 559 to 564 with central tear. Few small library stamps discarded. Also with a contribution by Darwin in the section "Letter to the editor" Darwin responds to an article "Leaves injured at Night by free radiation". James Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE 13 June 1831 5 November 1879 was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation bringing together for the first time electricity magnetism and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realised by Isaac Newton. With the publication of "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" in 1865 Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. Maxwell proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led to the prediction of the existence of radio waves. Maxwell helped develop the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases. He is also known for presenting the first durable colour photograph in 1861 and for his foundational work on analysing the rigidity of rod-and-joint frameworks trusses like those in many bridges. His discoveries helped usher in the era of modern physics laying the foundation for such fields as special relativity and quantum mechanics. Many physicists regard Maxwell as the 19th-century scientist having the greatest influence on 20th-century physics. His contributions to the science are considered by many to be of the same magnitude as those of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. In the millennium poll a survey of the 100 most prominent physicists Maxwell was voted the third greatest physicist of all time behind only Newton and Einstein. On the centenary of Maxwell's birthday Einstein described Maxwell's work as the "most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton". Wikipedia hardcover
