1934022000n.p.: The Author 1934. First Edition. Wraps. Just about Fine and quite scarce. Printed yellow wraps 5-1/4" x 7-1/2"; 80 pages. Illustrated with photographs and a color folding map. Introduction by Adam Clayton Powell Sr. In this scarce autobiography Lewis Garnett Jordan 1853-1939 describes his early life as a slave in Mississippi and the travails he and his mother endured as well as the hardships he suffered after the conclusion of the Civil War. Jordan had no name until he was asked for one by a teacher in a Union camp and he responded by giving the first names of soldiers who had been kind to him. From his spartan and cruel roots Jordan was ordained a Baptist preacher in 1874. In addition to describing his early enslaved life Jordan also describes his religious endeavors including his missionary work in Africa. He would later write a book titled NEGRO BAPTIST HISTORY U.S.A. 1750-1930. Not in BLOCKSON or WORK. <br/><br/> The Author paperback

1926140498Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1926. Draft script for the 1927 Silent film. <br/><br/>Based on the 1913 yellow peril play by Henry Maurice Vernon and Harold Owen and previously adapted for the screen in 1919 directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Matheson Lang. Lon Chaney in full yellowface murders his daughter after discovering she loves the son of a British diplomat then seeks revenge on son and his the entire family. <br/><br/>Anna May Wong who has a small role in the film was originally considered for the role of the daughter but censorship of mixed race relationships on the screen caused the role going to a white actress a sadly all-too-familiar story in her career. Wong would leave Hollywood for Europe the following year after once again being denied the lead role in a film because of her race this time in "The Crimson City."<br/><br/>Tan titled wrappers rubber-stamped copy No. 543 and production No. 1589 dated Nov. 13 1926 with credits for story writer Louise Jordan Miln and screenwriter Lorna Moon.

1927460501927. <p>Jordan Pascual 1902-80. Über Wellen und Korpuskeln in der Quantenmechanik. Offprint from Zeitschrift für Physik 45 1927. 766-775pp. 229 x 157 mm. Original printed wrappers slightly toned. Very good. Presentation Copy inscribed by Jordan to H. A. Kramers 1894-1952 on the front wrapper: "Kramers Mit vielen herzlichen Grüßen!" Kramers with best regards.</p> <p> First Edition Offprint Issue. Jordan the "unsung hero among the creators of quantum mechanics" Schweber QED and the Men who Made It p. 5 was one of the founders of quantum electrodynamics. In 1927 Dirac had laid out the initial formulation of QED in his paper "The quantum theory of emission and absorption of radiation" which introduced the idea of "second quantization" to reconcile the wave and light-quantum descriptions of the electromagnetic field. "Reading Dirac's QED paper gave Jordan the insight on how to 'second quantize' so that the quanta obeyed the Pauli exclusion principle" Schweber p. 34.</p> <p> For Jordan this second quantization "was to be viewed as the quantization of a classical field. Jordan had been very much drawn to the de Broglie-Einstein-Schrödinger view that fields were the primary entities. Moreover he believed that this procedure should be applied to matter fields in the same way as it had been applied by him to the electromagnetic field in his paper with Born 1926 and in the Dreimännerarbeit 1926 . . . In a series of seminal papers including this one stimulated by Dirac's formulation Jordan established that the 'second quantization' procedure could in fact be thus interpreted. These papers laid the foundation of quantum field theory" Schweber p. 33; emphasis ours.</p> <p> Following a joint paper with Oskar Klein "Zum Mehrkörperproblem der Quantentheorie" 1927 Jordan published the present paper in which he formulated the quantization rules to yield Fermi-Dirac statistics. This paper "contained several other formal and mathematical generalizations but its main practical value is that in the newly established theory of the 'quantized wave field' the fluctuations in the Bose case now satisfied all requirements following from Einstein's light-quantum treatment of 1924 and 1925" Mehra and Rechenberg Historical Development of Quantum Theory 6 p. 231. </p> . unknown
192<p>First edition first printing has all the points of the first state as listed in the ABAA article about collecting Robert Jordan https://www.abaa.org/blog/post/collecting-robert-jordan-wheel-of-time. Full number line on verso of title page. Clean unclipped jacket priced at $24.95. A difficult book to find in this hardback first printing state for the sheets. The start of a saga that made two authors' careers Jordan and Brandon Sanderson who completed the series and started writing his own and has been developed into a TV series. There are reports of a sewn binding representing an earlier state; I think this is the perfect binding bound into boards but not having seen the sewn binding I can't say for sure. With a copy of the manuscript 2 pages per sheet reduced probably sent out to an author to solicit blurbs: the manuscript does not have the Preface found in the book and has many small editorial changes deletions word changes small additions done on the original. It is labeled "revision 23" at the bottom of each page. Also included is the promotional poster for the second volume THE GREAT HUNT folded as issued. This is almost identical to the promo poster for the third volume except it talks about the second volume -- it is much scarcer in this state. </p> Tor hardcover

131781Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front panel "To Bill Happy 50th Birthday Hope you make it to 50 more Michael Jordan." From the collection of Bill Zwecker the former longtime entertainment and celebrity journalist. Beginning his journalism career in the 1980s Zwecker is an industry veteran who has interviewed some of the most renowned celebrities across a breadth of industries. This was a gift to Zwecker for his 50th birthday from Michael Jordan. With a framed collage of Zwecker and Jordan at the annual Chicago Celebrity Softball Game in 1992. It was taken the first time Michael Jordan ever played softball according to Jordan. In For the Love of the Game Jordan takes us through the wonder of his career on the court and away from the game. From the dream that preceded the game-winning shot against Georgetown in the 1982 NCAA Finals to the methodical dissection of the Utah Jazz prior to his game-winning shot in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals Jordan pulls back the curtain on one of the most remarkable lives this century. unknown

181319194PALMA: Sin imprenta 1813. Segunda impresión.- 4 tomos grabados.- Medidas totales: 32 x 44 cm.- Medidas plancha de estampación: 18 x 265 cm.- Escala en palmos Mallorquines.- Al pie de los grabados: ""Medida y diseñada por el Arquitecto Isidoro Velazquez - grabada por Francisco Jordán en Mallorca 1813"". Por la filigrana del papel ""A. Romanit T."" sabemos que pertenece a Antonio Romani y Tarres que trabajó en Capellades a partir de 1850. Por la textura de impresión podemos asegurar que se trata de una segunda estampación realizada entre 1850 y 1860. sidro González Velázquez 1765-1829 fue probablemente el arquitecto español más importante entre finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. Nacido en el seno de una familia de artistas se matriculó en la Academia de San Fernando en 1777 y en 1779 empezó a trabajar en el estudio del arquitecto Juan de Villanueva. Entre 1791 y 1796 fue pensionado extraordinariamente por Carlos III para estudiar en Roma. Durante la ocupación francesa José I le confirmó como teniente de Villanueva en las obras reales pero a pesar de ello en diciembre de 1810 salió de la corte con su familia y se exilió en Palma donde permaneció hasta 1814. A su regreso a Madrid Fernando VII le nombró arquitecto mayor. Francisco Jordan 1778-1832 fue un grabador natural de Muro Alicante. Fue otro de los grandes grabadores de la época de la Ilustración. Al igual que Isidro Velázquez se exilió en Palma durante la invasión napoleónica 1808-1814 y a su regreso se retiró al Convento de Cartujos de Porta Coeli donde continuó trabajando hasta su muerte. Muy buen ejemplar limpio y con todos los márgenes sin cortar. Elena Páez 'Repertorio de grabados españoles en la Biblioteca Nacional' 1110-10-13 Sin imprenta unknown

1934432721934. <p>Jordan Pascual 1902-80; John von Neumann 1903-57; and Eugene Wigner 1902-95. On an algebraic generalization of the quantum mechanical formalism. Offprint from Annals of Mathematics second series 35 1934. 29-64pp. 254 x 176 mm. Original printed wrappers margins a bit dust-soiled. Very good. Presentation Copy Inscribed by Jordan to physicist Gregor Wentzel 1898-1978 on the front wrapper: "Herrn Wentzel mit hertzlichen Grüssen! P. J." </p> <p>First Edition Offprint Issue of Jordan von Neumann and Wigner's classic paper on one of the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics introducing what are now known as the formally real Jordan algebras. "When the real numbers the complex numbers and the quaternions were sent down from platonic heaven to tell the world about the algebraic structure of quantum mechanics they took on human avatars and wrote this paper" Baez. </p> <p>In an earlier paper Jordan had introduced the "Jordan algebras" a special type of non-associative algebra to formalize the notion of an algebra of observables in quantum mechanics. </p> <p>"In 1932 Pascual Jordan tried to isolate some axioms that an "algebra of observables" should satisfy. The unadorned phrase "algebra" usually signals an associative algebra i.e. one in which a b c = a b c but this not the kind of algebra Jordan was led to. In both classical and quantum mechanics observables are closed under addition and multiplication by real scalars. In classical mechanics we can also multiply observables but in quantum mechanics this becomes problematic. . . . </p> <p>"However in quantum mechanics one can still raise an observable to a power and obtain another observable. From squaring and taking real linear combinations one can construct a commutative product . . . This led Jordan to define what is now called a formally real Jordan algebra . . . In 1934 Jordan published a paper with von Neumann and Wigner classifying finite-dimensional formally real Jordan algebras" Baez; emphasis ours. </p> <p>The formally real Jordan algebras correspond to various spin factors which in turn "have an intriguing relation to special relativity" Baez; see Baez for a more detailed account of Jordan von Neumann and Wigner's paper. Jordan algebras also play important roles in other branches of mathematics: Lie groups and algebras differential geometry projective geometry probability and statistics. </p> <p>Jordan presented this copy of his paper to theoretical physicist Gregor Wentzel who also made contributions to quantum mechanics: He is best known for the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation for finding approximate solutions to linear partial differential equations with spatially varying coefficients.
