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.

"Some years since I began a study of the Eugenics of War the hereditary effects of the systematic extermination by war of the bold and strong among the yeomanry of the nations of Europe. I soon found it necessary to consider also the 'Euthenics' of War the non-hereditary effects of the financial impoverishment of the rank and file of the people by the cost of war and war armament. This book is a preliminary survey of the elements involved in this subject." - Author's Prefatory Note. "David Starr Jordan 1851-1931 was the founding president of Stanford University a strong supporter of eugenics and an antimilitarist as he believed war killed off the best members of the gene pool." - Wikipedia. He begins with the history of the Rothschilds and an enumeration of their colleagues including the House of Pereire Credit Mobilier The House of Fould Bleichroder the House of Camondo The Goldschmids Baron Horace Gunzburg The House of Hirsch The House of Cassel The Sassoons Mendelssohn Werthheimer Ralli J.P. Morgan & Co. and more. "It must not be imagined that these several groups of capitalists are either rivals or competitors. They have divided the world among them." - p. 19. "In chapter IV 'The Control of Nations' we are shown the way in which all of Europe's financial affairs including questions of war and peace are now in the hands of the money lenders." - The Advocate of Peace Vol 75 No 6 June 1913. pp. 139-140. 10 211 pp. Index tables and graphs.

19275424Berlin: Springer 1927. First edition. <p>First edition extremely rare offprint of this important paper in which Jordan introduces his approach to quantum field theory independent of Dirac's and also gives his formulation of Fermi-Dirac statistics which he had developed earlier than both Fermi and Dirac. "Pascual Jordan is the unsung hero among the creators of quantum mechanics" Schweber QED and the men who made it.</p>. <p>ANTICIPATING DIRAC ON QUANTUM FIELD THEORY AND FERMI AND DIRAC ON THEIR STATISTICS</p> . <p>First edition extremely rare offprint of this important paper in which Jordan introduces his approach to quantum field theory independent of Dirac's and also gives his formulation of Fermi-Dirac statistics which he had developed earlier than both Fermi and Dirac. "Pascual Jordan is the unsung hero among the creators of quantum mechanics. Major portions of the two papers he co-authored with Born and Heisenberg that elaborated matrix mechanics following Heisenberg's initial insight were Jordan's contribution. Similarly he was responsible for laying the foundations of quantum field theory" Schweber pp. 5-6. "Before the end of the year 1925 Jordan had submitted a single author paper. This papercontained what is nowadays known as the Fermi-Dirac statistics; however it encountered an extremely unfortunate fate after its submission because it landed on the bottom of one of Max Born's in his role as the editor of the Zeitschrift für Physik suitcases on the eve of an extended lecture tour to the US where it remained for about half a year. When Born discovered this mishap the papers of Dirac and Fermi were already in the process of being published. This paper by Jordan was never published but he further developed its contents and this extended piece of work Zur Quantenmechanik der Gasentartung 'On the quantum mechanics of gas degeneracy' was published by Jordan in 1927" Mactutor. "Jordan was the earliest and most ambitious visionary of the quantum field theory program: long before this became commonly accepted in the second half of the twentieth century he saw in quantum field theory a unified basis for all of modern physics" Lehner p. 272. The present paper "already defines Jordan's program: a unified quantum field theory for matter and radiation. Particles and waves are only two different aspects of the same underlying quantum field both in the case of light and in the case of matter" ibid. pp. 280-281. No copies in auction records. Not on OCLC.</p> <br /> <p>"The year 1925 was a bright start for the 22-year-old Jordan. After the submission of the joint work with Max Born on Matrix Mechanics in which the p-q commutation relation appeared for the first time there came the famous 'Dreimännerarbeit' with Born and Heisenberg in November of the same year only to conclude the year's harvest with a paper by him alone on the 'Pauli statistics'. Jordan's manuscript contained what is nowadays known as the Fermi-Dirac statistics; however it encountered an extremely unfortunate fate after its submission . In the words of Max Born a quarter of a century later: 'I hate Jordan's politics but I can never undo what I did to him . When I returned to Germany half a year later I found the paper on the bottom of my suitcase. It contained what one calls nowadays the Fermi-Dirac statistics. In the meantime it was independently discovered by Enrico Fermi and Paul Dirac. But Jordan was the first'" Schroer pp. 2-3. "The year 1927 was the most fruitful in Jordan's career . The second paper submitted in July 1927 offered here was inspired by Dirac's field-theoretic transcription of the quantum mechanical multi-particle configuration space for Schrödinger's formalism 'high dimensional abstract space' to the quantization of Schrödinger waves in ordinary space. Jordan sets out to do something analogous for 'Fermi's instead of Einstein's gas'. He develops what he refers to as the 'Pauli-statistics' probably using material from his ill-fated 1925 manuscript which ended in Born's suitcase and uses the quantized spacetime field formulation to compute the density fluctuations in a Fermi gas" ibid. p. 4.</p> <br /> <p>"As he claimed in the present paper p. 480 and in a letter to Schrödinger his occupation with the quantum theory of the ideal gas had suggested this further application of the theory of quantized waves. Jordan writes in the letter:</p> <br /> <p>'Then your hydrogen paper i.e. 'Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem Zweite Mitteilung' gave hope that by following up this correspondence also the non-ideal gas could be represented by quantized waves - that therefore a complete theory of light and matter could be derived in which as an essential ingredient this wave field itself operates in a quantum non-classical way'.</p> <br /> <p>"Jordan saw Schrödinger's wave-functions as a generalization of the simple plane waves that he had quantized in the 'Dreimännerarbeit' and interpreted as the quantum mechanical representation of the Bose-Einstein ideal gas; he was convinced that the quantization of these wave-functions was the method necessary to apply quantum mechanics to the case of several interacting particles. In the letter to Schrödinger Jordan gives two reasons why he did not pursue this program immediately: The problem to account for Fermi-Dirac statistics since it seemed that the wave picture would always lead to Bose-Einstein statistics and the reservations of his colleagues Heisenberg Pauli and Born" Lehner p. 276.</p> <br /> <p>Although Jordan had introduced the idea of a quantized field at the end of the 'Dreimännerarbeit' it "only came to the attention of a wider group of physicists through Paul Dirac's 'The quantum theory of emission and absorption of radiation.' Paradoxically the notion of quantizing a field appears nowhere in the paper . Dirac explicitly denied that the 'wave function of the light quanta' is the same as the electromagnetic field. He also argued that while an ensemble of light quanta can be associated with a light wave there is no such physical wave associated with an ensemble of matter particles such as electrons. Therefore he did not see the quantization procedure as an explanation of the quantum nature of radiation. It was to him only an elegant way to take into account the Bose statistics of light quanta. Since electrons do not obey Bose statistics the procedure is not applicable to them. Dirac maintained particle number conservation for light quanta by introducing a 'sea' of zero-momentum light quanta. This is another piece of evidence that for Dirac the particle concept was primary.</p> <br /> <p>"Unlike Jordan's earlier attempt Dirac's theory was greeted with enthusiasm since it first derived the link between quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of absorption and emission and so offered a quantum-mechanical representation of the interaction of matter and radiation. Today Dirac's paper is often seen as the seminal work for quantum field theory. This is somewhat ironic as Dirac explicitly rejected the idea that his method was to be understood as the quantization of the classical field. Jordan thought for the rest of his life that he did not get due credit for his work:</p> <br /> <p>'It has always saddened me somehow that the attack on the light-quantum problem already contained in our Dreimännerarbeit was rejected by everyone for so . until Dirac took up the idea from which point onward he was the only one cited in this connection.'</p> <br /> <p>"Instigated by Dirac's success Jordan quickly returned to the theory of the quantized field. However what he did was in conflict with Dirac's ideas and a clear continuation of his earlier program based on the principle of symmetry of representations. Therefore his first paper offered here explicitly rejected Dirac's assessment that the ideal gas obeying Fermi statistics cannot be represented by a wave field. Jordan observed that in the case of Bose-Einstein statistics the number operator has arbitrary integer eigenvalues while in the case of Fermi-Dirac statistics the number operator can only have eigenvalues 0 or 1. He now constructed an algebra of field operators that yield these eigenvalues for the number operator using Pauli's spin matrices. This construction was made possible by Jordan's concept of conjugate variables that was more general than Dirac's: While Dirac relied on commutation relations of the standard form </p> <br /> <p>pq − qp = −ih </p> <br /> <p>Jordan's transformation theory relied on a more general notion of conjugate variables motivated by the need to represent angle and angular momentum as conjugate variables and allowed for a generalization of these commutation rules. However as Darrigol has pointed out Jordan's actual calculations were full of mistakes . What had gotten lost in the imprecisions were the correct phase relations between the creation and annihilation operators. Only in the fall of 1927 Jordan would return to the topic and with the help of Eugene Wigner present the correct algebra now called Jordan-Wigner second quantization using anti-commutation relations. </p> <br /> <p>"Despite its technical flaws the offered paper already defines Jordan's program: a unified quantum field theory for matter and radiation. Particles and waves are only two different aspects of the same underlying quantum field both in the case of light and in the case of matter:</p> <br /> <p>'Despite the validity of the Pauli instead of Bose statistics for electrons the results achieved so far leave hardly a doubt that a quantum-mechanical wave theory of matter can be formulated in which electrons are represented as quantized waves in ordinary three-dimensional space and that the natural formulation of the quantum theory of the electron will have to be achieved by comprehending light and matter on equal footing as interacting waves in three-dimensional space. The fundamental fact of electron theory the existence of discrete electrical particles thus manifests itself as a characteristic quantum phenomenon namely as equivalent to the fact that matter waves only appear in discrete quantized states' p. 480.</p> <br /> <p>"Jordan pointed out that the anti-symmetrical wave-functions that Heisenberg and Dirac had constructed for many-particle systems were therefore not at all physical waves but simply 'a special case of the general probability amplitudes which have to be used as a mathematical tool for the description of the statistical behavior of quantized light and matter waves' p. 480. These quotes show clearly the difference in perspective between Jordan and Dirac: Unlike Dirac Jordan treated second quantization of the Schrödinger wave function as the quantization of a physical field and saw this procedure as an explanation of the corpuscular character of matter. Unlike Schrödinger however Jordan did not attempt to find an objective physical description behind the mathematical formalism. Transformation theory to him still implied that neither the particle nor the wave description were fundamental and therefore neither picture could be used to construct a complete description of objective reality" Lehner pp. 278-281.</p> <br /> <p>Pascual Jordan 1902-80 was born in Hannover. His family name of Spanish origin was originally Jorda. He enrolled in the Technical University of Hannover in 1921 where he studied zoology mathematics and physics but moved to the University of Göttingen in 1923. Göttingen was then at the zenith of its powers in mathematics and the physical sciences under the leadership of David Hilbert and Arnold Sommerfeld. At Göttingen Jordan became an assistant to the mathematician Richard Courant for a time and then studied under the physicist Max Born for his doctorate. Germany's defeat in the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles had a profound effect on Jordan's political beliefs. He believed the Treaty to be unjust and became increasingly nationalistic. In 1933 Jordan joined the Nazi party like Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark and moreover joined an SA unit. He supported the Nazis' nationalism and anti-communism while remaining a defender of Einstein and other Jewish scientists. Jordan seemed to hope that he could influence the new regime; one of his projects was attempting to convince the Nazis that modern physics developed as represented by Einstein and especially the new Copenhagen brand of quantum theory could be the antidote to the 'materialism of the Bolsheviks'. Had Jordan not joined the Nazi party it is possible that he would have won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work with Max Born on the foundations of matrix mechanics - Born shared the 1954 Nobel Prize with Walther Bothe the prize can be shared by up to three people. Pauli declared Jordan to be 'rehabilitated' to the West German authorities some time after the war allowing him to regain academic employment after a two-year period. He then recovered his full status as a tenured professor in 1953. </p> <br /> <p>Lehner 'Mathematical foundations and physical visions: Pascual Jordan and the field theory program' pp. 272-293 in: Mathematics meets Physics Schloter & Schneider eds. 2011.

1966129944Washington DC: US National Parks Service; Jordan Tourism Authority Amman 1966. Preserving Jordan's natural heritage A high-level photographic report documenting US assistance to Jordan in establishing a National Parks programme across six major cultural religious and historic sites - Qumran the Nabataean city of Petra Jerash Samaria-Sebaste Jericho and the early Arab palace at Tell and Roman Amman - together with the East Ghor water project designed to increase fertility in the Jordan Valley. The survey team arrived in Jordan in October 1966 but became caught up in the fighting of the 1967 war; for a time they were feared killed or wounded though they ultimately escaped unharmed. Stewart Udall US Secretary of the Interior from 1961 to 1969 and a leading advocate of environmental legislation and national-park development would have followed the progress of this first co-operative initiative in Jordan with particular interest. Because the report includes West Bank sites - Qumran Samaria-Sebaste and Jericho - it must date between the project's inception in October 1966 and the June 1967 war after which Jordan lost control of these areas.
