185128441New York: Nagel & Weingaertner 1851. Hand-coloured lithograph after Hanson titled below the image. Expert restoration closing tears into the image. The first America's Cup: a scarce hand coloured lithographed view of the winning yacht which gave its name to the cup.<br/> <br/>In 1851 the Royal Yacht Squadron proposed a race around the Isle of Wight. A group of New York Yacht Club members led by Commodore John Cox Stevens built a yacht designed to compete in such races. Designed by Steers and Co. and captained by Richard Brown the yacht America would win the race by eighteen minutes giving its name to one of the oldest and best-known trophies of the sport: the America's Cup. This lithograph and lithographer are unrecorded by Harry T. Peters; we find no other extant examples of this rare print.<br/> <br/>On Nagel and Weingaertner see Peters America on Stone pp. 291-294.

1964119482London: Routledge and Kegan Paul Ltd 1964. Early printing of this work on Godel. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. From the library of physicist Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking was a theoretical physicist cosmologist and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge at the time of his death. Hawking's scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation often called Hawking radiation. He was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. Hawking may be one of the most recognizable of theoretical physicists in part due to ALS which gradually paralyzed him over the decades. After the loss of his speech he was able to communicate through a speech-generating device--initially through use of a handheld switch and eventually by using a single cheek muscle. He is also well known since he achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discussed his theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of Time appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. The Universe in a Nutshell which many consider a sequel to A Brief History explains to a general audience various matters such as Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Hawking also gave a sold-out lecture at Texas A&M University entitled "Godel and the End of Physics" in which he said "Godel's theorem ensured there would always be a job for mathematicians. I think M theory will do the same for physicists." This book was likely used in Hawking's research in writing The Universe in a Nutshell and his other writings on this topic. A wonderful association. In 1931 Kurt Godel published his fundamental paper "On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems." This revolutionary paper challenged certain basic assumptions underlying much research in mathematics and logic. Godel received public recognition of his work in 1951 when he was awarded the first Albert Einstein Award for achievement in the natural sciences--perhaps the highest award of its kind in the United States. The award committee described his work in mathematical logic as "one of the greatest contributions to the sciences in recent times." However few mathematicians of the time were equipped to understand the young scholar's complex proof. Ernest Nagel and James Newman provide a readable and accessible explanation to both scholars and non-specialists of the main ideas and broad implications of Godel's discovery. It offers every educated person with a taste for logic and philosophy the chance to understand a previously difficult and inaccessible subject. Routledge and Kegan Paul Ltd hardcover books
