With folding copper-engraved plan of the Battle of the Nile also called the Battle of Abu Quir one of Nelson's greatest victories restoring the British presence in the Mediterranean and dooming Napoleon's venture in Egypt. Sir Edward Berry 1768-1831 was captain of the flagship during the battle and when Nelson was wounded prevented him from falling by catching him in his arms. Berry afterwards published the above work anonymously. Berry is said to have been the only officer in the navy of his time except vice-admiral Collingwood who had three medals having commanded a ship in three general actions -- the Nile Trafalgar and St. Domingo. The DNB calls this work "a pamphlet which under the special circumstances of its authorship is of singular interest and value." Clean fresh copy with plan in excellent condition. Printed For T.

1976119527Cambridge: Cambridge University Press 1976. First edition of this classic work. Octavo original wrappers. From the library of Stephen Hawking with his name written on the front free end page. 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<em></em> appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. In near fine condition. A nice association from this giant in the world of theoretical physics. General relativity and quantum mechanics have become the two central pillars of theoretical physics. Moreover general relativity has important applications in astrophysics and high-energy particle physics. Covering the fundamentals of the subject Principles of Cosmology and Gravitation describes the universe as revealed by observations and presents a theoretical framework to enable important cosmological formulae to be derived and numerical calculations performed. Avoiding elaborate formal discussions the book presents a practical approach that focuses on the general theory of relativity. It examines different evolutionary models and the gravitational effects of massive bodies. The book also includes a large number of worked examples and problems half with solutions.

197224945Zurich: Burton Y. Berry 1972. Fine in photo-illustrated laminated boards. Highly sought after and prized since its discovery. First Edition. Quarto. Privately printed for Berry by C.J. Bucher Ltd. Lucerne in an edition of 300 copies. Preface and text by the photographer. 78 pages 63 full-bleed black and white photographs. One of the great unsung and virtually unknown photobooks of the 60s and 70s. The photographer Burton Y. Berry was a career diplomat and an obsessive collector. Influenced by attending a Beatles concert in 1965 Berry sought to understand and document youth culture by photographing mostly male youths in Zurich where he was stationed. While the idea was to capture the hairstyles of his subjects what unfolds page by page is nothing short of a forensic sweep of European youth fashion and culture at the apex of the sixties. The book could be dismissed as amateur hobby but Berry was an excellent photographer book designer and chronicler of his surroundings. Parr / Badger v3 80. [Zurich]: Burton Y. Berry unknown books

Major constellations and all twelve zodiac signs are illustrated with detailed hand-colored drawings. The cartouche on the celestial globe is inscribed "Newton's New & Improved Celestial Globe On which all the Stars Nebulae & Clusters contained in the extensive Catalogue of the late E. Wollaston E.R.S. are accurately laid down their Right Ascensions and Declinations having been recalculated for the Year 1830 by W. Newton. Manufactured by Newton Son & Berry Chancery Lane London Published 1836." In near fine condition with some light restoration. Each globe measures 19 inches tall. The sphericity of the Earth was established by Greek astronomers in the 3rd century BC with the earliest terrestrial globe appearing during that period. The earliest known globe was constructed by Crates of Mallus in Cilicia now Cukurova in modern-day Turkey in the mid-2nd century B.C.E. Now known as the Erdapfel the earliest extant terrestrial globe was produced in 1492 by German mapmaker navigator and merchant Martin Behaim in Nuremberg Germany. Traditionally globes were manufactured by gluing a printed paper map onto a sphere often made from wood. Newton, Son & Berry unknown books
