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. SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Edition. Softcover. Good condition.

1999AS-52Cambridge U.K.: Cambridge University Press 1999. Comptrehensive highly acclaimed graduate text written by two pioneers in the field provides a comprehensive introduction to the observations theories and consequences of stellar winds. The rates of mass loss and the wind velocities are explained from basic physical principles. This text also includes chapters clearly explaining the formation and evolution of interstellar bubbles and the effects of mass loss on the evolution of high- and low-mass stars. Each topic is introduced simply to explain the basic processes and then developed to provide a solid foundation for understanding current research. This authoritative textbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and researchers seeking an understanding of stellar winds and more generally supersonic flows from astrophysical objects. It is based on courses taught in Europe and the United States over the past twenty years and includes seventy problems for coursework or self-study. 438 pp. Illustrated. Small slight crease to lower rear corner; minimal shelfwear. No spine cracks or creases. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cambridge University Press Paperback
