Description: "An account of the development of Greek art in the Classical period about 480-320 BC which places particular emphasis on the meaning and content of Greek sculpture architecture and painting. Professor Pollitt reminds us that the visual arts in Greece as elsewhere were primarily vehicles of expression. He does not ignore formal development but always relates this to social and cultural history which it reflected and from which it grew. While his subject is art he refers frequently to the literature and philosophy of the period which were shaped by the same influences." -- with a bonus offer-- . Cambridge University Press paperback

19266060Berlin: Springer 1926. First edition. First edition. "By including the spin property of the electron Heisenberg and Jordan obtained perhaps the greatest triumph of matrix mechanics: they were able to derive all observed phenomena connected with the anomalous Zeeman effect" Rechenberg. This success validated not only the new quantum mechanics but also the highly controversial concept of electron spin discovered by Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit in the previous year. Hardcover. EXPLANATION OF THE ANOMALOUS ZEEMAN EFFECT. <p>First edition of the explanation of the anomalous Zeeman effect on the basis of matrix mechanics. "By including the spin property of the electron Heisenberg and Jordan obtained perhaps the greatest triumph of matrix mechanics: they were able to derive all observed phenomena connected with the anomalous Zeeman effect" Rechenberg p. 211. When an atom is placed in a magnetic field its spectral lines split into a series of equidistant lines - always an odd number - whose separation is proportional to the field strength. This the normal Zeeman effect was explained in 1916 by Debye and Sommerfeld in terms of the 'old' quantum theory: the splitting was due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the orbital magnetic moment of the electrons in the atom. However there is also an anomalous Zeeman effect observed particularly in atoms with odd atomic number in which the lines split in a more complex fashion. "During 1920-24 many physicists attacked the problem of the anomalous Zeeman effect including Landé who was able to give a phenomenological explanation of the observed splitting of spectral lines. However neither Landé Sommerfeld Pauli Heisenberg nor other physicists occupied with the problem could justify their results in terms of quantum theory. "It's a great misery with the theory of anomalous Zeeman effect" Pauli wrote to Sommerfeld on July 19 1923" Kragh p. 158. This paper was of crucial importance in the early history of quantum mechanics because its success in explaining the hitherto mysterious anomalous Zeeman effect validated not only the new quantum mechanics itself but also the highly controversial concept of electron spin discovered by Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit in the previous year. </p> <br /> <p>After Heisenberg's introduction of matrix quantum mechanics in 1925 one of the first problems he wanted to address using his new theory was the anomalous Zeeman effect. The crucial ingredient was electron spin which Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit had discovered by studying the regularities in the anomalous Zeeman effect documented by Landé. "Although based originally upon the classical concept of a rotating electron electron spin is a purely quantum mechanical property intrinsic to the electron. Opinions were strongly divided about the validity of the concept Pauli taking a strongly negative position while Bohr Heisenberg and Jordan took a more positive view. The challenge taken up by Heisenberg was to find a quantum mechanical solution for the anomalous Zeeman effect using the concept of a spin-½ particle within the context of their recently completed matrix formalism.</p> <br /> <p>"Despite the less than encouraging views of Pauli in November 1925 Heisenberg set about finding the stationary states and line splittings associated with the anomalous Zeeman effect. Disappointingly he almost reproduced Landé's formula for the anomalous Zeeman effect but the crucial spin-orbit coupling term resulted in a factor of 2 discrepancy from Landé's expression a result which cast doubt on the whole scheme.</p> <br /> <p>"The solution was however at hand thanks to the insight of Llewellyn Thomas who had arrived recently at Bohr's Institute in Copenhagen as a visiting graduate student . Thomas was aware of the fact that there is an additional kinematic effect associated with the orbital motion of a vector such as the spin vector of the electron according to the special theory of relativity. This purely kinematic effect results in an additional contribution to the precession and hence interaction energy of the electron. and can account completely for the discrepant factor of 2. After considerable debate even Pauli was convinced and the paper on the quantum mechanical explanation for the anomalous Zeeman effect was published by Heisenberg and Jordan in June 1926. Rechenberg has written in his summary of the history of quanta and quantum mechanics that the explanation of the anomalous Zeeman effect was one of the greatest triumphs of matrix mechanics" Longair pp. 312-5. </p> <br /> <p>Heisenberg and Jordan described their results in the abstract of the paper as follows: "For explaining the anomalous Zeeman effect Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit have applied Compton's hypothesis of the rotating electron. In the present paper we investigate the quantum mechanical behaviour of the atomic model characterized by this hypothesis. The result is that the Zeeman effect and the fine structure of the doublet spectra can be explained completely by the said hypothesis" Mehra & Rechenberg p. 273.</p> <br /> <p>Helge Kragh Quantum Generations 1999; Malcolm Longair Quantum Concepts in Physics 2013; Helmut Rechenberg Ch. 3 'Quanta and Quantum Mechanics' in Twentieth Century Physics Vol. 1 L.

19404651731940. Unbound. Very Good. A collection of thirteen black and white promotional photographs measuring 8" x 10" with printed captions and pen notations on the verso. Slight edgewear and toning thus very good or better.<br /> <br /> A small collection of photographs promoting Louis Jordan and his band in various films from the 1940s. The images feature stills from the motion pictures and scenes of dancing playing various instruments as well as female musicians including Una Mae Carlisle. Films seen here include Fuzzy Wuzzy “Hep Cat Serenade Caldonia Home in Indiana and Rock Baby Rock It. Jordan began his career in the 1930s playing in Big Bands and evolved in the 1940s to create jump blues increasing his popularity and gaining him the title of "King of the Jukebox."<br /> <br /> A modest but interesting archive of promotional material for an important figure in African-American music. unknown

NOTE on edition: The true first edition/first printing was published by TOR/Tom Doherty & Assoc. in only about 2000 trade hardcover copies the balance in trade paperbacks with many of the former going to libraries. Because of rising demand TOR modified some of the trade paperbacks into hardcovers for a second state of about 1000 copies. Orbit UK released the book in hardcover probably in about the same number 2000 copies.
