18333474London: Longman Rees Orme Brown Greene & Longman 1833. First edition. Near Fine. Publisher's cloth binding retaining the delicate paper label to front board. Some bumping to corners and faint spotting to boards but a pleasing square copy in all. Internally a clean with just a bit of scattered foxing to endpapers and preliminaries. Scarce on the market this book documents Marcet's efforts to expand knowledge access to the working classes in order to make political self-advocacy possible. Presented by Marcet to Professor Pierre Prevost the philosopher and physicist best known for his experiment on the body's radiation of heat this copy bears his ownership signature on the front endpaper and an inscription from Marcet at the header of the title: "Prof. Prevost from the Author." <br/><br/>A peer of such feminist thinkers as Maria Edgeworth Marcet is considered one of the most important figures in the history of women's education in science and economics. Her "Conversations" books which include texts on politics economics and science were ranked among the best-known educational texts of the nineteenth century. In addition to making these rigorous fields accessible to women who might otherwise be denied such training they also welcomed in young boys whose access to quality education might be hindered by class. Among her most famous readers was Michael Faraday who encountered her books while serving as a bookbinder's apprentice and was inspired to delve more deeply into the sciences Science History Institute. The present work seeks to popularize economic theory and put forward an argument for decreasing wage gaps among rich and poor; and in line with her overall project Marcet seeks to make her argument accessible to readers of all education levels. Wrapped in allegory in order to welcome in labor-class readers who may not have complex economic vocabularies Marcet's tale posits the need for new economic policy into a series of nine allegorical essays told "through the eyes of honest John Hopkins a laborer on low wages" Liberty. Scholars have increasingly viewed John Hopkins as an important and previously undervalued piece of Marcet's oeuvre; and her desire to bring the working class into dialogue about their own economic state signals an important cultural change. "Marcet was engaged in the work of the knowledge broker -- creating and maintaining networks between and among scientists and the larger public. Knowledge sharing was based upon the personal and social connections she facilitated by bringing together bankers scientists and professional economists such as Malthus Ricardo Mill and others. It was extended to the popular culture through the many editions of her Conversations addressed to the middle classes and enlarged to include the working classes with her John Hopkins's Notions on Political Economy" L. Forget. Lesser known but nonetheless one of Marcet's culturally important contributions this volume contains important lessons on how to expand a class's knowledge base and provide the tools for political and economic self-advocacy. Notably this copy reveals the influential scientific communities she participated in connecting her to men in the hard sciences who knew of and read her work.<br/><br/>Feminist Companion 713.

"Ambix is an internationally recognized peer-reviewed quarterly journal devoted to publishing high-quality original research and book reviews in the intellectual social and cultural history of alchemy and chemistry. It publishes studies discussions and primary sources relevant to the historical experience of all areas related to alchemy and chemistry covering all periods ancient to modern and geographical regions. Topics covered by Ambix include but are not limited to interactions between alchemy and chemistry and other disciplines; chemical medicine and pharmacy; molecular sciences; practices allied to material instrumental institutional and visual cultures; environmental chemistry; the chemical industry; the appearance of alchemy and chemistry within popular culture; biographical and historiographical studies; and the study of issues related to gender race and colonial experience within the context of chemistry."--Publisher. Ambix is one of the oldest journals of the history of science in the English-speaking world it was founded in 1936 and has appeared continuously from 1937 to the present other than from 1939 to 1945 during World War II. It is currently published by the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry. This set is incomplete but begins with 1937.2023. There are a few reprints of the earliers issues.

Maria Goeppert Mayer June 28 1906 - February 20 1972 Was A German-Born American Theoretical Physicist And Nobel Laureate In Physics For Proposing The Nuclear Shell Model Of The Atomic Nucleus. She Was The Second Female Nobel Laureate In Physics After Marie Curie. A Graduate Of The University Of Göttingen Goeppert Mayer Wrote Her Doctorate On The Theory Of Possible Two-Photon Absorption By Atoms. At The Time The Chances Of Experimentally Verifying Her Thesis Seemed Remote But The Development Of The Laser Permitted This. Today The Unit For The Two-Photon Absorption Cross Section Is Named The Goeppert Mayer Gm Unit. Goeppert Mayer Married Joseph Edward Mayer And Moved To The United States Where He Was An Associate Professor At Johns Hopkins University. Strict Rules Against Nepotism Prevented Johns Hopkins University From Taking Her On As A Faculty Member But She Was Given A Job As An Assistant And Published A Landmark Paper On Double Beta Decay In 1935. In 1937 She Moved To Columbia University Where She Took An Unpaid Position. During World War Ii She Worked For The Manhattan Project At Columbia On Isotope Separation And With Edward Teller At The Los Alamos Laboratory On The Development Of The Teller's "Super" Bomb. After The War Goeppert Mayer Became A Voluntary Associate Professor Of Physics At The University Of Chicago Where Teller And Her Husband Worked And A Senior Physicist At The Nearby Argonne National Laboratory. She Developed A Mathematical Model For The Structure Of Nuclear Shells For Which She Was Awarded The Nobel Prize In Physics In 1963 Which She Shared With J. Hans D. Jensen And Eugene Wigner. In 1960 She Was Appointed Full Professor Of Physics At The University Of California At San Diego. Ware'S Participation In A Classified World War Ii Project To Identify Friendly Aircraft Led The Mathematician John Von Neumann To Recruit Him To Help Develop A Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton N.J. In 1946. That Machine Was Not The First Digital Computer But It Was Based On A Set Of Design Ideas Described By Dr. Von Neumann That Were Broadly Influential - First On The Design Of Computers Built By Scientists Around The World And Then On An Early Ibm Computer Known As The 701. Many Of These Concepts Are Still Visible In The Structure Of Modern Computers And Smartphones. Mr. Ware Part Of A Small Group Of Engineers Working On That Machine Was The First To Try To Engineer Many Of The Components That Would Become Vital To Modern Computers. His Experience In Designing High-Speed Electronic Circuits During The War Was Essential To His Work On The Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study Said George Dyson A Historian Of The Project. <br/> <br/> John Wiley & Sons hardcover
