THE IDENTIFICATION OF DARK MATTER.

1997029560World Scientific: 1997. 618 pages. "There can be litle doubt now that 90 - 99% of the Universe comprises of dark matter. Hence it is of critical importance now not just to pursue further evidence for its existence but rather to identify what the dark matter is. This book is the proceedings of the First International Workshop on the Identification of Matter. The book also includes reviews on major particle astrophysics topics in dark matter but is largely devoted to short contributed talks on new work in the field." FINE HARDCOVER FINE DUST JACKET.

Crease to corner of front cover and first few leaves in the lower margin only. NO text is affected. PHOTOS UPON REQUEST. Pages unopened/uncut. Bound in the original wraps stamped in black. This volume was among several dozen books from Temple Rice Hollcroft's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his ink stamp signature or a presentation inscription naming him. Unfortunately this volume does not have those signs of his ownership. But please check our inventory for several others that do. The American mathematician Temple Rice Hollcroft 1889 - 1967 received B.S. in 1912 and A.B. in 1914 from Hanover College and then A.M. in 1915 from the University of Kentucky. He received his Ph.D. in 1917 from Cornell University under Virgil Snyder. Hollcroft was a mathematics professor at Wells College from 1918 to 1954 from which he retired as professor emeritus. Hollcroft served for 14 years as Associate Secretary of the American Mathematical Society. In 1932 in Zurich he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematician ICM. His subject was THE GENERAL WEB OF SURFACES AND THE SPACE INVOLUTION DEFINED BY IT. Being invited to talk at the ICM has been called "the equivalent of induction to a hall of fame." - from Wikipedia.

Near Fine No Marks Bumping To Upper Front Tip Ownership/Gift Label. . Dust Jacket Priced $3.95 Wear Small Losses At Ends Of Spine. Per Wikipedia Dennis William Siahou Sciama Frs 1926 -1999 Was A British Physicist Who Through His Own Work And That Of His Students Played A Major Role In Developing British Physics After The Second World War And He Is Considered One Of The Fathers Of Modern Cosmology. Sciama Earned His Phd In 1953 At The University Of Cambridge Supervised By Paul Dirac With A Dissertation On Mach's Principle And Inertia. His Work Later Influenced The Formulation Of Scalar-Tensor Theories Of Gravity. Sciama Taught At Cornell University King's College London Harvard University And The University Of Texas At Austin But Spent Most Of His Career At The University Of Cambridge 1950S And 1960S And The University Of Oxford As A Senior Research Fellow In All Souls College Oxford 1970S And Early 1980S. In 1983 He Moved From Oxford To Trieste Becoming Professor Of Astrophysics At The International School For Advanced Studies Sissa And A Consultant With The International Centre For Theoretical Physics. He Also Taught At The Scuola Normale Superiore Of Pisa. From 1972 To 1973 He Was The Donegall Lecturer In Mathematics At Trinity College Dublin. Sciama Made Connections Among Some Topics In Astronomy And Astrophysics. He Wrote On Radio Astronomy X-Ray Astronomy Quasars The Anisotropies Of The Cosmic Microwave Radiation The Interstellar And Intergalactic Medium Astroparticle Physics And The Nature Of Dark Matter. Most Significant Was His Work In General Relativity With And Without Quantum Theory And Black Holes. He Helped Revitalize The Classical Relativistic Extension To General Relativity Known As Einstein-Cartan Gravity. Early In His Career He Supported Fred Hoyle's Steady State Cosmology And Interacted With Hoyle Hermann Bondi And Thomas Gold. When Evidence Against The Steady State Theory E.G. The Cosmic Microwave Radiation Mounted In The 1960S Sciama Abandoned It And Worked On The Big Bang Cosmology; He Was Perhaps The Only Prominent Steady-State Supporter To Switch Sides Hoyle Continued To Work On Modifications Of Steady-State For The Rest Of His Life While Bondi And Gold Moved Away From Cosmology During The 1960S. During His Last Years Sciama Became Interested In The Issue Of Dark Matter In Galaxies. Among Other Aspects He Pursued A Theory Of Dark Matter That Consists Of A Heavy Neutrino Certainly Disfavored In His Realization But Still Possible In A More Complicated Scenario. Several Leading Astrophysicists And Cosmologists Of The Modern Era Completed Their Doctorates Under Sciama's Supervision Notably:George Ellis 1964 Stephen Hawking 1966 Brandon Carter 1967 Martin Rees 1967 Gary Gibbons 1973 James Binney 1975 John D. Barrow 1977 Philip Candelas 1977 David Deutsch 1978 Adrian Melott 1981 Antony Valentini 1992. Sciama Also Strongly Influenced Roger Penrose Who Dedicated His The Road To Reality To Sciama's Memory. The 1960S Group He Led In Cambridge Which Included Ellis Hawking Rees And Carter Has Proved Of Lasting Influence. Doubleday & Company hardcover

Very Lightly Used Near Fine Except Some Browning Along Spine. Ownership Signature Of Jpl Astronomer And Halley Watch Manager Ray L. Newburn. Per Wikipedia Helen Battles Sawyer Hogg 1905 -1993 Was An American-Canadian Astronomer Who Pioneered Research Into Globular Clusters And Variable Stars. She Was The First Female President Of Several Astronomical Organizations And A Scientist When Many Universities Would Not Award Scientific Degrees To Women. Her Scientific Advocacy And Journalism Included Astronomy Columns In The Toronto Star "With The Stars" 1951-81 And The Journal Of The Royal Astronomical Society Of Canada "Out Of Old Books" 1946-65. She Was Considered A "Great Scientist And A Gracious Person" Over A Career Of Sixty Years. After Graduating From Mount Holyoke Hogg Received A Fellowship For Graduate Study At Harvard Observatory In The Fall Of 1926 With The Help Of Dr. Cannon.3 Once At Harvard Hogg Worked With Dr. Harlow Shapley The Director Of The Graduate Program In Astronomy. Hogg Received Her Master's Degree In 1928 And Her Doctoral Degree In 1931 Both From Radcliffe College As Harvard Refused To Award Graduate Degrees In Science To Women At The Time. For Her Advances In Astronomy Hogg Received Honorary Doctoral Degrees From Six Canadian And U.S. Universities Including Mount Holyoke College And The University Of Toronto. While Completing Her Doctoral Degree Hogg Taught Astronomy At Mount Holyoke And At Smith College. After Graduation She Moved To Victoria British Columbia Where She Began Research At The Dominion Astrophysical Observatory. Hogg Began Taking Photos Of Variable Stars With The 72-Inch Reflecting Telescope Cataloguing The Cyclical Changes In The Brightness Of The Variable Stars. At The Dominion Astrophysical Observatory Hogg Found 132 New Variable Stars In The Globular Cluster Messier 2. Hogg Published This Groundbreaking Work In Astronomical Catalogues That Are Still Used Today. Notably Hogg Accomplished All Of This As A Volunteer Assistant To Her Husband As The Dominion Astrophysical Observatory Would Not Offer Her A Job. In 1935 Hogg Moved To The University Of Toronto After Her Husband Had Received A Job Offer To Work At The David Dunlap Observatory.6 For Her First Year There Hogg Continued Her Work Photographing Globular Clusters Amassing Thousands Of Photographs Which She Used To Identify Many Thousands Of Variable Stars. She Published Catalogue Of 1116 Variable Stars In Globular Clusters In 1939 The First Of Three Catalogues She Completed With A Fourth In The Works At The Time Of Her Death. In Addition To Her Work On Variable Stars In Globular Clusters Hogg Used The Period-Luminosity Relationship Of Cepheid Variable Stars Discovered By Henrietta Swan Leavitt In 1908 To Enhance The Understanding Of The Milky Way Galaxy's Age Size And Structure. During The Late 1930S Hogg Became One Of The First Astronomers To Travel And Work Around The World To Advance Her Research As The Globular Clusters She Was Observing Were Best Seen From The Southern Hemisphere. From 1939 To 1941 Hogg Returned To America To Serve As The President Of The American Association Of Variable Star Observers 1939-1941 And The Acting Chair Of Mount Holyoke's Astronomy Department 1940-1941. Upon Returning To The David Dunlap Observatory She Took On Teaching Duties At The University Of Toronto Largely As A Result Of Male Staff Being Away Due To World War Ii.35 Retaining Her Position After The Men Returned From War Hogg Advanced To Assistant Professor In 1951 Associate Professor In 1955 Full Professor In 1957 And Professor Emerita In 1976 Upon Her Retirement. Over Her Research Career Hogg Published More Than 200 Papers And Was A Leading Authority In Astronomy. University Of Toronto Press paperback
