The proceedings of the first international Solvay Conference on physics devoted to radiation theory and the quanta. The purpose of the conference was twofold: "First there was the need to examine whether classical theories molecular-kinetic theory and electrodynamics could in some undiscovered ways provide an explanation of the problem of black-body radiation and of the specific heat of polyatomic substances at low temperatures; secondly to consider phenomena in which the theory of quanta could be successfully used" Mehra The Solvay Conferences on Physics p. 14; see also pp. 13-72 containing summaries of all the papers delivered. Among the participants were Max Planck who gave an exposition of the arguments that had led him to the discovery of the quantum of action; Heike Kamerlingh Onnes who reported on the discovery of superconductivity of certain metals at extremely low temperatures; Arnold Sommerfeld who discussed the production of x-rays by high speed electrons; and Albert Einstein who summarized many aspects of the quantum concept particularly in regard to his explanation of the anomalies of specific heats at low temperatures.</p> <p> This copy bears the signature of Earl F. Farnau Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati; it was later owned by Russian-American physicist Boris Podolsky 1896-1966 best known for his collaboration with Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen on the famous "EPR" Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paper "Can quantum-mechanical description of physical reality be considered complete" 1935 challenging the assumption that quantum mechanics could provide a complete description of physical reality. Podolsky joined the faculty of the University of Cincinnati in 1935.</p> . Gauthier-Villars unknown books

1796284281796. Small quarto. 8pp. Loose sheets. Contemporary manuscript notations. Moderately soiled and worn. Final page loose torn in center of text with minor loss. Early imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text deals with the Governor's reserve powers; it is signed in type by Governor Magallon. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton the Dutch abandoned the colony in 1710. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810 and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period until 1810 only about 400 imprints were produced mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other items. All are quite rare. No copies located in OCLC; Toussaint locates a copy at the Mauritius Archives.<br/> <br/>Toussaint A298. unknown books
