Occasional Papers Vol II Music and Dance Series No. 5. From the Poetry Foundation: "A leading figure in the Native American literary renaissance that emerged in the 1960s Simon J. Ortiz has published many books of poetry short fiction and non-fiction. In general his writing is concerned with modern man's alienation from others from himself and from his environment-urging humanity to reconnect the wisdom of ancestral spirits and with Mother Earth."

1162One folding engraved plate. iv 245 1 pp. 8vo cont. half-cloth & marbled boards ends of spine almost invisibly repaired spine gilt. Berlin: T.H. Riemann 1827. First edition of this pioneering work which contains one of the most important discoveries in electrical science - "Ohm's law" - the basis of the present system of electrical measurement. Ohm discovered the unit of resistance in an electrical current. "In the field of electrical measurement Ohm was the great pioneer.Ohm's great contribution - 'The Galvanic Chain Mathematically Calculated' - was to measure the rate of current flow and the effects of resistance on the current. 'Ohm's law' - that the resistance of a given conductor is a constant independent of the voltage applied or the current flowing - was arrived at theoretically by analogy with Fourier's heat measurements 1800-14."-Printing & the Mind of Man 289. It is known that the publisher was forced to pulp most of the copies of this book due to lack of sales. A very fine and fresh copy with the bookplate of Alfred Schmid. ❧ Dibner Heralds of Science 63.

Modern brown marbled boards printed paper spine label; extremities rubbed. Bookplate of Andras Gedeon institutional exlib stamps. Very good. FIRST EDITION. THE PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF OHM'S LAW; HIS FIRST PUBLICATION. This short article in Annalen der Physik und Chemie preceded Ohm's book Die Galvanische Kette Mathematische Bearbeitet 1827 and is his first published scientific paper May 1825. Ohm began publishing his electricity researches in 1825 with his Vorlaufige Anzeige des Gesetzes nach welchem Metalle die Contakteletricitat leiten a paper in which he sought to find a functional relationship between the decrease in the electromagnetic force exerted by a current-carrying wire and the length of the wire. Although this paper contained some fundamental errors it was remarkable for its direct foundation on experiment a characteristic of all Ohm's early papers. In February and April of the following year Ohm published two important papers dealing separately with the two major aspects of his theory of galvanic electricity which he would later unify in his landmark Die galvanische Kette. DSB. "From the zinc and copper poles of a voltaic pile he ran two wires A and B the free ends of which terminated in small mercury-filled cups M. and N; between M and another cup O he ran a third wire C. Together A B and C formed what he called the 'invariable conductor' to distinguish it from one of the seven wires of different lengths that when placed in the circuit between O and N constituted the 'variable conductor'. . . over wire C Ohm hung the magnetic needle of a Coulomb torsion balance which served to measure the electromagnetic force exerted when one of the variable conductors completed the circuit. . . Tabulating these values against the lengths of the wires he found that his data were well represented by the formula v = 0.41 log 1x where v is the loss in force and x is the length of the wire in feet." DSB. In modern application the formula is simplified to v = i r; voltage being equal to current and resistance. Reference: DSB Vol. X p. 187. Joh. Ambrosius Barth, 1825. hardcover books

253Halle: Journal für Chemie und Physik. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. FIRST EDITION of the experimental proof of Ohm's law "the fundamental law of electric circuits" Dibner 63. Ohm "made a study of the laws of galvanic currents and while investigating the relative conductivity of metals finally discovered the relation known as 'Ohm's law' which underlies all electrical theory and measurement. The experimental proof of this law was first published in a paper in Schweigger's Journal fur Chemie und Physik vol. xlvi. 1826 under the title of Bestimmung des Gesetzes nach welchem Metalle die Contactelektricität leiten" Peck and Colby The New International Encyclopedia. "The following year Ohm published a book entitled Die Galvanische Kette mathematisch bearbeitet Berlin 1827. It contained a theoretic deduction of Ohm's law and became far more widely known than his article of 1826 giving the experimental deduction. In fact his experimental paper was so little known that the impression long prevailed and still exists that he based his law on theory and never established it empirically. This misapprehension accounts perhaps for the unfavourable reception of Ohm's conclusions" Cajori A History of Physics. In: Journal für Chemie und Physik. Hrsg. v. J. S. C. Schweigger u. W. Schweigger-Seidel vol. 46 pp. 137-166. Halle: 1826. The whole volume offered. Octavo modern cloth. Some dampstaining throughout; occasional browning.

3373One folding engraved plate. iv 245 pp. lacking the errata leaf & leaf of ads. 8vo cont. grey paste-paper boards lower joint with short split at head & foot. Berlin: T.H. Riemann 1827. First edition and a splendid association copy of this pioneering work which contains one of the most important discoveries in electrical science - "Ohm's law" - the basis of the present system of electrical measurement. Ohm discovered the unit of resistance in an electrical current. This copy belonged to the "Prince of Mathematicians" - Carl Friedrich Gauss - and has the "Gauss-Bibliothek" stamp on the title. It is quite exciting to be able to link two of the greatest 19th-century scientists through an important book like this. "In the field of electrical measurement Ohm was the great pioneer.Ohm's great contribution - 'The Galvanic Chain Mathematically Calculated' - was to measure the rate of current flow and the effects of resistance on the current. 'Ohm's law' - that the resistance of a given conductor is a constant independent of the voltage applied or the current flowing - was arrived at theoretically by analogy with Fourier's heat measurements 1800-14."-Printing & the Mind of Man 289. It is known that the publisher was forced to pulp most of the copies of this book due to lack of sales. A very fine and fresh copy. Lacking the errata leaf it clearly was never bound-in and as usual the leaf of ads.
