First Printing With Number Line Ending In "1" North-Holland Publisher Not The Springer Reprint. Fine Bookplate Of Dutch-American Physicist Jan Korrringa Who Was A Student Of Ehrenfest. Dust Jacket With Wear Short Tear At Top Of Front Panel Minor Losses At Edges. With A Photogra;H Of A Portrait Of Ehrenfest Signed By Ehrenfest In The Original But Not On This Copy. Per Wikipedia Paul Ehrenfest 1880 - 1933 Was An Austrian Theoretical Physicist Who Made Major Contributions To Statistical Mechanics And Its Relation To Quantum Mechanics. He Majored In Chemistry At The Vienna Institute Of Technology But Took Courses At The University Of Vienna In Particular From Ludwig Boltzmann On His Kinetic Theory Of Thermodynamics. These Lectures Had A Profound Influence. In 1903 He Met Dutch Physicist Hendrik Lorentz During A Short Visit To Leiden Netherlands. He Wrote His Dissertation On Die Bewegung Starrer Körper In Flüssigkeiten Und Die Mechanik Von Hertz The Motion Of Rigid Bodies In Fluids And The Mechanics Of Hertz And Obtained His Ph.D. On 23 June 1904 In Vienna Where He Stayed From 1904 To 1905. Because He Was Unwilling To Declare Belief In Any Religious Denomination He Could Not Apply For A Professorship And Therefore Had No Prospect Of Securing A Permanent Position.6 In 1912 Ehrenfest Toured German-Speaking Universities In The Hope Of A Position. He Visited Berlin Where He Saw Max Planck; Leipzig Where He Met His Old Friend German Mathematician Gustav Herglotz; Munich Where He Met Theoretical Physicist Arnold Sommerfeld; Zürich; And Vienna. In Prague He Met Albert Einstein For The First Time And They Remained Close Friends Thereafter. Einstein Recommended That Ehrenfest Succeed Him In His Position In Prague But The Plan Failed Since Ehrenfest Declared Himself An Atheist.78 Sommerfeld Offered Him A Position In Munich But Ehrenfest Received A Better Offer; At The Same Time There Was An Unexpected Turn Of Events: H. A. Lorentz Resigned His Position At The University Of Leiden And On His Advice Ehrenfest Was Appointed As His Successor. In October 1912 Ehrenfest Arrived In Leiden. To Stimulate Interaction And Exchange Among Physics Students Ehrenfest Organized A Discussion Group And A Study Association Called De Leidsche Flesch "The Leyden Jar". He Maintained Close Contact With Prominent Physicists In The Country And Abroad And Invited Them To Visit Leiden And Give Presentations In His Lecture Series. Among His Students Were Johannes Burgers Hendrik Kramers Dirk Coster George Uhlenbeck And Samuel Goudsmit Who Became Famous For Jointly Proposing The Concept Of Electron Spin Jan Tinbergen Arend Rutgers Hendrik Casimir Gerhard Dieke Dirk Struik And Gerard Kuiper. His Assistants Included Yuri Krutkov Viktor Trkal Adriaan Fokker Paul Epstein And Gregory Breit. Other Young Foreign Scientists Who Spent Extended Periods In His Laboratory Included Gunnar Nordström Enrico Fermi Igor Tamm Oskar Klein J. Robert Oppenheimer Walter Elsasser Ralph Kronig Werner Heisenberg Paul Dirac And David Dennison.Ehrenfest's Most Important Contribution From 1912 To 1933 Is The Theory Of Adiabatic Invariants A Concept Derived From Classical Mechanics That Can Serve To Refine Certain Methods Of Niels Bohr's Model Of The Atom And Also Creates An Association Between Atomic Mechanics And Statistical Mechanics. He Made Major Contributions To Quantum Physics Including The Theory Of Phase Transitions And The Ehrenfest Theorem Which States That Expectation Values Of A Quantum System Conform To Classical Mechanics. His Name Is Also Given To The Ehrenfest Paradox An Apparent Paradox Of Relativity To The Ehrenfest Model And To Ehrenfest Time The Time Characterizing The Difference Of Quantum Dynamics For Observables From Classical Dynamics. Ehrenfest Was Also Interested In Developing Mathematical Theories For Economics. His Student Jan Tinbergen Received A Nobel Prize In Economics. <br/> <br/> North-Holland Pub Co hardcover

Korff 1906-1989 Was A Physicist Who Led Worldwide Observations Of Cosmic Rays In The 1940'S And 1950'S Using Balloons Aircraft And Mountaintop Observatories. Serge Alexander Korff Was Born In Helsinki Finland. His Father A Baron Belonged To A Prominent Russian Family And Was Professor Of Russian Law At The University Of Helsinki Before Emigrating To The United States. Mr. Korff Graduated From Princeton University In 1929 Obtaining His Doctorate There In 1931. The Next Year He Became A Research Associate At The Mount Wilson Observatory In California And Through The Rest Of The 1930'S He Was Associated With The California Institute Of Technology The Carnegie Institution Of Washington And The Bartol Research Foundation. The Focus Of His Scientific Career Was Observing And Mapping The Rain Of Neutrons -Electrically Neutral Atomic Particles -Produced By High Energy Radiation Or Cosmic Rays Striking The Top Of The Atmosphere All Over The Earth. Balloon Observations Were Made Above Guam The Galapagos Islands Greenland The Caribbean And Several Points Within The United States. In 1960 Dr. Willard Libby In Accepting The Nobel Prize For His Discovery That The Decay Of Radioactive Carbon Could Be Used To Date Archeological Specimens Reminded His Audience Of The Contribution Of Dr. Korff's Contribution. It Was Dr. Korff And His Colleagues Who Discovered That The Atmosphere Is Constantly Being Bombarded By Neutrons. He Pointed Out That The Principal Way The Neutrons Would Disappear Would Be By Forming Radioactive Carbon Dr. Libby Said. This The Nobel Winner Said Put Him On The Path To His Discovery. In 1940 He Joined The Faculty Of New York University And Became A Professor Of Physics In 1946. He Was President Of The Explorers Club In New York From 1955 To 1958 And President Of The American Geographical Society From 1967 To 1971 As Well As Chairman Of Its Council From 1972 To 1988. In 1972 He Became President Of The New York Academy Of Sciences. <br/> <br/> D. Van Nostrand Company hardcover

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
