191413011914. First Edition. Bridgman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1946 for his invention of an apparatus capable of generating sustained hydrostatic pressures far exceeding those previously attainable and for the discoveries he made with it. The two papers offered here together constitute the primary and secondary publication of the most celebrated of those discoveries: the existence of five distinct polymorphic forms of ice each stable within a defined region of pressure and temperature mapped for the first time across a pressure range reaching 20500 kgm/cm² — nearly six times the highest pressure at which water had previously been studied. The high-pressure ice phases Bridgman first characterized are now understood to be among the most abundant forms of water in the solar system present in the interiors of icy moons and their properties remain central to models of planetary structure and the physics of the deep ocean floor. 1 Water In the Liquid and Five Solid Forms Under Pressure; from Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences Vol. XLVII No. 13 pp. 441–558. Boston: American Academy of Arts and Sciences 1912. Offprint 8vo 244 × 159mm pp. 1 118 2 plus 2 inserted plates. Original green printed wrappers some chips one from the lower corner of the front wrapper secured with tape ex-libris stamp of E. K. Rideal to the front wrapper light damp-stain to the gutter of the final quire most pages unopened very good.<br /> <br /> The full technical account conducted at the Jefferson Physical Laboratory Harvard University with support from the Rumford Fund of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. As Bridgman states in his introduction the purpose of the paper is to identify the fundamental facts that any theory of liquids valid for high pressures must accommodate and to determine the nature of the equilibria between the crystalline and liquid phases; questions that no existing theory of liquids was at that time competent to answer. Beyond the discovery and characterization of the five ice polymorphs and the mapping of their mutual equilibria and transition points the paper measures the compressibility of liquid water and of each solid phase across the pressure range documents the anomalous behavior of water near the liquid-vapor curve and at the density maximum and engages critically with Tammann's theoretical treatment of the liquid-solid equilibrium curve finding it inadequate to account for the behavior actually observed. The apparatus employed a nickel-steel high-pressure cylinder with a manganin resistance coil calibrated at the Bureau of Standards embodies the self-sealing packing Bridgman had developed in preceding years the invention that made the entire program of research possible by eliminating the leak problem that had constrained all previous high-pressure experimentation.

Philadelphia: Franklin Institute 1914. Extracted paper 8vo 222 x 144mm pp. 18. Staple and tape-bound some light toning near fine.<br /> <br /> An abstract of a paper presented to the Section of Physics and Chemistry on November 13 1913 in which Bridgman presents the principal results of the 1912 investigation to a general scientific audience. The introduction is notable for his effort to convey the scale of the pressures involved to readers unfamiliar with them: the highest pressures ordinarily familiar he observes are those of modern artillery where the average firing pressure of large guns reaches approximately 2000 atmospheres; the pressures in his experiments 20000 atmospheres sufficient if exerted against a one-inch square steel rod to support a locomotive weighing 150 tons are ten times that amount and nearly double the highest pressure previously measured which was produced by the explosion of nitroglycerin in a closed vessel. This is the form in which the discovery of the five ice polymorphs first reached the broader scientific community. unknown

194535840New York: Harper & Brothers 1945. First printing. Fine in very good jacket. First edition of White's first book for children sold with an original pen-and-ink drawing by Garth Williams that appears on page 24 of the book. White's Stuart Little like Thumbelina is born to standard-sized human parents and takes his entitled place within his human family by right and without question but suffers many tests and challenges as he makes his way in the world and works to thwart the family cat. Romance or friendship is short-lived leaving the young mouse "alone with his broken dreams and his damaged canoe." The first of White's three great children's books STUART LITTLE is a quest story though not a quest with a traditional arc or dénouement. By the end of the novel Stuart has done many deeds and surmounted any obstacles but is not finished or at rest: "I rather expect" he says "that from now on I shall be traveling north until the end of my days." The pen-and-ink drawing features George sitting disheartedly on an old discarded rowing machine that he found while looking for the missing Stuart. The image is greatly reduced in the book. 8.25'' x 5.5'' book; 6'' x 9'' drawing. Original tan pictorial cloth stamped in green and white. In original unclipped $2.00 color pictorial dust jacket. Green pictorial endpapers. Illustrated by Williams in black and white throughout. 131 1 pages. Jacket with shallow chipping at spine head overall a bit toned with faint stain on rear panel: still presents well.

100462GARTH WILLIAMS: LETTERS TO HIS DAUGHTERS. Together with: <br /> <br /> 3 black and white snapshots of new wife Alicia and son Juan Miguel; 1" x 2" each. <br /> <br /> <br /> During this period Williams was living in Guanajuato Mexico with Alicia and their Juan Miguel. He signed his letters "Papá" "Garth" or in one instance "Sam Crabgrass." Williams sends updates about his health work and travel schedule shares anecdotes about his childhood and most frequently expels fatherly advice especially to the younger Jessica. He often writes rhyming or nonsensical sentences and in one letter writes phonetically in a Cockney accent "Ow's me ole chum" July 1 1963. Jessica and Estyn were both teenagers during this time. <br /> <br /> In his first letter Williams sends a brief description of his new wife - thirty years his junior - and son "She was born in Guanajuato in 1942 on Oct. 24th. Alicia. Alice in english. She is 5 foot 3 inches tall. weight 100 lbs. Dark brown eyes black hair. Her son is Juan Miguel. He is 6 months old now" June 5 1962. <br /> <br /> Williams sends letters filled with fatherly advice and sometimes shares stories about his boyhood. In one letter to Jessica Williams informs her about boys: <br /> <br /> I see from recent letters you have written that perhaps you will be like everyone else and get mixed up with other people; not just girls but even with those horrible creatures - boys. When you get mixed up with boys you often get mixed with girls and mixed up altogether; because it is like measles-of-the-brain or mumps-of-the-thumper heart. February 20 1963 <br /> <br /> He goes on to share a long anecdote about when he has his first clash of the sexes - at age 10 - with two neighborhood girls named Betty and Pat who were sisters and concludes with the realization that "When you feel love which you may not be - no advice is any good even when you know it is good advice and suggests that Estyn maybe able to help her too. <br /> <br /> A couple months later Williams writes a similar letter to Estyn though this time his advice is about morals: "You have to work out a code to live by when you are living by your rules you can say you are being moral. When not - immoral or unmoral" April 29 1963. He also tells Estyn that morals change and that "What USED to be bad is now OK" and gives the following example: <br /> <br /> My mother did all the wrong things. She smoked a pipe rode a bicycle wore bloomers and ended up being chained to the railings in Hyde Park with a Mrs Pankhurst when they wanted to get the right to vote for women etc etc. Most people considered her unmoral in her behaviour. She was an art student in Paris for five years; - pretty dreadful. ibid.<br /> <br /> In a long undated letter to Jessica Williams responds to her questions about God admitting "I don't know any more than you do" n.d. The explains that the topic is vast and unknowable but suggests studying about religion and recommends that she read Santayana. <br /> <br /> It is clear that sometimes Williams masks his concern with humor or downplays serious discussions. When he found out that Jessica had started smoking he wrote her explaining how her genes make the habit especially dangerous for her: <br /> <br /> My reason for warning you is - you inherit from your mother the same tendencies. See a doctor about it. Have him check you for bad circulation. People with bad circulation cant smoke. They feel colder than everyone else. Their fat does not help. They are lousy bed fellows with far too many covers and icy feet" May 4 1967. <br /> <br /> He suggests that Jessica "Take peppermint Brighton Rock Kandy Kisses Humbugs Lollypops - anything. Create a new craze - eating candy instead of smoking. Create a distinctive image - the girl who chews lemon rind. Unique" ibid. <br /> <br /> Williams's drawings usually illustrate something about Jessica or Estyn or something that Williams had seen. His card to Jessica for her October 1964 birthday shows her sleeping in bed with a full stomach and a candle stuck in her belly-button a pair of elaborate red boots discarded at the foot of the bed with the instruction to "Eat too much drink too much and sleep late - the secret of a lovely life - by J.W./We hope your birthday boots are keeping your tootsies warm" October 1964; "Estyn's Shadow" shows a slim Estyn in profile with eyes downcast with a bosomy and full-skirted shadow behind her 1964; "Jessicat" is a portrait of Jessica's face with cat-like eyes and paws 1964; and "My favourite Bottles" features two bottles labeled "Foot Lotion" and "Reducing Balm" with human-like proportions. unknown books

I was often tempted to call you during the rehearsal period for Sweet Bird of Youth in New York . I didn't call because I was atraid that I had forfeited your concern for me by my stubborn resistance and running away from our work. I managed to stay on my feet till the day after the opening. Then I came down with the flu or a virus or just collapsed with exhaustion and fever. . . so l pulled myself a little together and took a plane to Miami. The fever's gone now but the exhaustion stays. I can barely write this letter. Let alone write on the film-plays that dear little Audrey Wood his agent and Sam Spiegel Hollywood producer and so forth are expecting me to turn out like hot-cakes for them. You see I am still full of piss and vinegar even if I am not still energetic. Well I got through this thing which I felt I had to get through and maybe now I will be willing and able to make another effort to salvage the me that doesn't live on paper or stage. I wonder!. If you are going to be with such a hospital a psychiatric hospital I would like to know about it just in case I finally have to face the necessity of that kind of help. If I have to I would like it to be with you. You are one of the two or three wisest men that I have known in my life and probably know me better than anyone else. <br /> <br/><br/> unknown
