He Was A Pioneer In Piezoelectricity And In 1921 Developed The First Quartz Crystal Oscillator. Cady Was Born In Providence Rhode Island Graduated From Brown University In 1895 And Studied 1897-1900 At The University Of Berlin Receiving His Ph.D. In Physics In 1900. From 1895 To 1897 He Was Also Instructor In Mathematics At Brown. He Was A Magnetic Observer From 1900 To 1902 With The Coast And Geodetic Survey And From 1902 To 1946 He Was A Professor Of Physics At Wesleyan University Where His Principal Interests Included Electrical Discharges In Gases Piezoelectricity Ultrasound Piezoelectric Resonators And Oscillators And Crystal Devices. Before World War I Cady Investigated Arc Discharges And Radio Detectors But During The War Became Interested In Crystals As He Worked With General Electric Company's Research Laboratory Columbia University And The Naval Experimental Station In New London Connecticut On Using High-Frequency Sound Generated By Piezoelectricity To Detect Submarines. His Early Experiments Employed Rochelle Salt Crystals As Transducers. After Noticing That A Quartz Crystal Connected To A Variable-Frequency Electronic Oscillator Would Vibrate Strongly At A Very Specific Frequency But That At Other Frequencies It Would Not Vibrate At All He Had The Insight To Apply Crystal Oscillators To Radio Frequency Applications. In 1921 Cady Designed The First Circuit To Control Frequencies Based On Quartz Crystal Resonator And Received Two Fundamental Patents On Resonators And Their Applications To Radio In 1923. Cady Quickly Realized That Such Circuits Could Be Used As Frequency Standards In 1922 Published An Ire Paper On This Application And In 1923 Made The First Direct International Comparison Of Frequency Standards By Comparing His Quartz Resonators With Frequency Standards In Italy France England And The United States. Cady Was President Of The Institute Of Radio Engineers In 1932. During World War Ii Cady Again Worked On Military Applications Of Piezoelectricity Including Trainers For Radar Operators That Used Piezoelectric Transducers In Liquid Tanks To Generate Realistic Radar Returns. He Retired To Pasadena California In 1951 Where He Was A Research Associate At Caltech. He Returned To Providence In 1963. After Retirement He Consulted For Industry And The Federal Government. Cady Held More Than 50 Patents And Was The Inventor Of The Crystal-Controlled Oscillator The Highly Selective Narrow-Band Crystal Filter One Of The Principal Theorists Of The Ferroelectricity In Crystals And A Historian Of The Science Of Piezoelectric Crystals. He Won The 1928 Ieee Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award And In 1936 Was The Second American To Receive The Duddell Medal And Prize Of The Physical Society Of London. He Received Honorary Degrees From Brown University In 1938 And From Wesleyan In 1958. His Papers Are Archived At The Smithsonian Institution And The Rhode Island Historical Society. <br/> <br/> Mcgraw-Hill Book Company hardcover

Bernard Jaffe 1896 -1986 Was An American Educator Chemist And Historian Of Science. William Draper Harkins 1873 - 1951 Was A U.S. Chemist Notably For His Contributions To Nuclear Chemistry. Harkins Researched The Structure Of The Atomic Nucleus And Was The First To Propose The Principle Of Nuclear FusionFour Years Before Jean Baptiste Perrin Published His Theory In 1919-20. Harkins Graduated With A Phd From Stanford University In 1907 And Spent His Career At The University Of Chicago From 1912. Harkins Correctly Predicted The Existence Of The Neutron In 1920 As A Proton-Electron Complex And Was The First To Use The Word "Neutron" In Connection With The Atomic Nucleus. The Neutron Was Detected Experimentally By James Chadwick In 1932. In The Beginning Of The 1930S Harkins Built A Cyclotron. From Experiments With This He Concluded That The Sun Might Be Powered By Nuclear Fusion. Among Other University Of Chicago Scientists Who Made Use Of This Cyclotron Was Enrico Fermi Who Performed Neutron Diffusion Experiments. Harkins Is Discussed On Four Pages Of The Book. Book Fine.

Richard Chace Tolman 1881 -1948 Was An American Mathematical Physicist And Physical Chemist Who Made Many Contributions To Statistical Mechanics. He Also Made Important Contributions To Theoretical Cosmology In The Years Soon After Einstein's Discovery Of General Relativity. He Was A Professor Of Physical Chemistry And Mathematical Physics At The California Institute Of Technology Caltech. Tolman Studied Chemical Engineering At The Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Receiving His Bachelor's Degree In 1903 And Ph.D. In 1910 Under A. A. Noyes. In 1912 He Conceived Of The Concept Of Relativistic Mass Writing That "The Expression Is Best Suited For The Mass Of A Moving Body. In A 1916 Experiment With Thomas Dale Stewart Tolman Demonstrated That Electricity Consists Of Electrons Flowing Through A Metallic Conductor. A By-Product Of This Experiment Was A Measured Value Of The Mass Of The Electron.4 Overall However He Was Primarily Known As A Theorist.Tolman Was A Member Of The Technical Alliance In 1919 A Forerunner Of The Technocracy Movement Where He Helped Conduct An Energy Survey Analyzing The Possibility Of Applying Science To Social And Industrial Affairs.Tolman Was Elected A Fellow Of The American Academy Of Arts And Sciences In 1922. The Same Year He Joined The Faculty Of The California Institute Of Technology Where He Became Professor Of Physical Chemistry And Mathematical Physics And Later Dean Of The Graduate School. One Of Tolman's Early Students At Caltech Was The Theoretical Chemist Linus Pauling To Whom Tolman Taught The Old Quantum Theory.In 1927 Tolman Published A Text On Statistical Mechanics Whose Background Was The Old Quantum Theory Of Max Planck Niels Bohr And Arnold Sommerfeld.9 In 1938 He Published A New Detailed Work That Covered The Application Of Statistical Mechanics To Classical And Quantum Systems. It Was The Standard Work On The Subject For Many Years And Remains Of Interest Today.In The Later Years Of His Career Tolman Became Increasingly Interested In The Application Of Thermodynamics To Relativistic Systems And Cosmology. An Important Monograph He Published In 1934 Titled Relativity Thermodynamics And Cosmology12 Demonstrated How Black Body Radiation In An Expanding Universe Cools But Remains Thermal - A Key Pointer Toward The Properties Of The Cosmic Microwave Background.13 Also In This Monograph Tolman Was The First Person To Document And Explain How A Closed Universe Could Equal Zero Energy. He Explained How All Mass Energy Is Positive And All Gravitational Energy Is Negative And They Cancel Each Other Out Leading To A Universe Of Zero Energy.13 His Investigation Of The Oscillatory Universe Hypothesis Which Alexander Friedmann Had Proposed In 1922 Drew Attention To Difficulties As Regards Entropy And Resulted In Its Demise Until The Late 1960S. During World War Ii Tolman Served As Scientific Advisor To General Leslie Groves On The Manhattan Project. At The Time Of His Death In Pasadena He Was Chief Advisor To Bernard Baruch The U.S. Representative To The United Nations Atomic Energy Commission.Each Year The Southern California Section Of The American Chemical Society Honors Tolman By Awarding Its Tolman Medal "In Recognition Of Outstanding Contributions To Chemistry. Tolman's Brother Was The Behavioral Psychologist Edward Chace Tolman. <br/> <br/> Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft M. B. H. hardcover
