Advance Copy With The Publisher's Transmittal Letter To A Book Salesman Dated Nov. 30 1979. Carl Friedrich Freiherr Von WeizsäckerA 1912 - 2007 Was A German Physicist And Philosopher. A Member Of The Prominent Weizsäcker Family He Was Son Of The Diplomat Ernst Von Weizsäcker Elder Brother Of The Former German President Richard Von Weizsäcker Father Of The Physicist And Environmental Researcher Ernst Ulrich Von Weizsäcker And Father-In-Law Of The Former General Secretary Of The World Council Of Churches Konrad Raiser. Weizsäcker Made Important Theoretical Discoveries Regarding Energy Production In Stars From Nuclear Fusion Processes. He Also Did Influential Theoretical Work On Planetary Formation In The Early Solar System. In 1938 Weizsäcker Developed A Theory On The Formation Of The Solar System Based On Considerations Regarding The Unequal Share Of Lighter And Heavier Elements In The Sun And The Solar System's Terrestrial Planets. His Views Were Later Generally Acknowledged And Refined By A Large Number Of Other Physicists And Astronomers. According To The Theory The Sun And Its Planets Evolved From A Gas Cloud Made Up Of 99% Hydrogen And Helium And 1% Of Heavier Elements. Some 10% Of The Cloud Remained Around The Sun As An Extensive Atmosphere During An Initial Phase And The 1% Of Heavier Elements Within This 10% Of The Total Mass Of The Cloud Would Tally With The Fraction Of Roughly 1% That The Planets Contribute To The Mass Of The Solar System Today. The Theory Also Helped To Explain The Empirically Observed Regular Pattern Of Increase In The Diameters Of The Orbits Of The Planets Of The Solar System From Inward To Outward. This Result Was A Natural Outcome Of The Increasing Size Of "Planetary Eddies" Of Gas And Dust Farther From The Centre Of The Early Solar System. A Further Implication Of His Theory Was That Many Stars Out In The Universe With Characteristics Similar To The Sun Would Have To Be Expected To Possess Planetary Systems Similar To Our Own. Shortly After The End Of The Second World War In Europe The Russian Émigré American Physicist George Gamow Co-Authored An Influential Paper Supporting Weizsäcker's Work On Planetary Formation In The Early Solar System. In His Late Career He Focused More On Philosophical Ethical And Historical Issues And Was Awarded Several International Honours For His Work In Those Areas. During The Second World War Weizsäcker Joined The German Nuclear Weapons Program Participating In Efforts To Construct An Atomic Bomb While Based At The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute In Berlin. As Early As August 1939 Albert Einstein Warned U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt About This Research And Highlighted That "The Son Of The German Under-Secretary Of State Von Weizsäcker Is Attached To The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut In Berlin Where Some Of The American Work On Uranium Is Now Being Repeated." As A Protégé Of Werner Heisenberg Weizsäcker Was Present At A Crucial Meeting At The Army Ordnance Headquarters In Berlin On 17 September 1939 At Which The German Atomic Weapons Program Was Launched. Early In The War - Possibly Until 1942 - He Hoped A Successful Nuclear Weapons Project Would Earn Him Political Influence. In July 1940 He Was Co-Author Of A Report To The Army On The Possibility Of "Energy Production" From Refined Uranium. The Report Also Predicted The Possibility Of Using Plutonium For The Same Purpose Including The Production Of A New Type Of Explosives. During Summer 1942 Weizsäcker Filed A Patent On A Transportable "Process To Generate Energy And Neutrons By An Explosion. E.G. A Bomb". The Patent Application Was Found In The 1990S In Moscow. <br/> <br/> Farrar Straus Giroux 1979 hardcover

From the publisher: "Physics was transformed between 1890 and 1930 and this volume provides a detailed history of the era and emphasizes the key role of geometrical ideas. The first part of the book discusses the application of n-dimensional differential geometry to mechanics and theoretical physics the philosophical questions on the reality of geometry and reviews the broad international debate about the nature of geometry and its connections with psychology. The second part then examines the reception of Einstein's theory of special relativity following 1905. It covers Minkowski's reformulation of the theory providing the first complete picture of his work and it describes Einstein's path to formulating general relativity. The chapter on Hilbert's efforts to axiomatize relativity argues against the traditional view of Hilbert as arch-formalist and the following chapter provides the first detailed account of Emmy Noether's work on physics. The final section examines the work by Ricci Levi-Civita and Weyl to give a new formulation of general relativity in terms of the Riemann differential. This collection will be an invaluable resource for historians and philosophers of science.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.

Per Ucla William George Mcmillan 1919-2002 Graduated From Ucla With A B.A. In Chemistry In 1941. He Continued His Studies At Columbia University Where He Received An M.S. In Chemistry In 1943 And A Ph.D. In Chemical Physics In 1945. Bill'S Dissertation Research In Statistical Mechanics With Joseph E. Mayer Was Concerned With The Theory Of Solutions. The Results Known As The Mcmillan-Mayer Theory Are Still Widely Cited. From 1944 To 1946 Still At Columbia He Was A Research Chemist On The Manhattan Project Working On The Separation Of U235. Upon Receiving A Guggenheim Fellowship In 1946 Bill Carried Out Research In Nuclear Physics At The University Of Chicago With Edward Teller. In 1947 He Came To Ucla As An Assistant Professor And Rose To The Rank Of Full Professor In 1959. Bill Became Chair Of The Department In 1959 And Served Until 1965. He Led The Department Through A Period Of Rapid Growth And Development Of Its Research And Teaching Programs As Well As Established A Strong Infrastructure. His Strong Leadership Was Instrumental In Bringing The Department To National Attention. Unlike Many In Academe He Thought The Country Was Continually In Mortal Danger From The Soviet Union. He Worked For The Rand Corporation As A Consultant To The U.S. Military And Helped Form The Sage Advisory Committee That Reported On Weapons Tests. At Ucla He Established Defense Science Seminars 1964-66 To Help Revitalize The Contact Between Young Scientists In The Universities And Those In Government Service And In The Defense Community. While On Leave From The University Bill Served From 1966 To 1968 Years As Science Adviser To General William Westmoreland In Vietnam Developing Concepts For Artillery And Military Reconnaissance. Although Much Of His Time Was Spent In Service To The Government Service That Gave Rise To Many Specialized Reports Some Still Classified His Academic Publications Deal With A Wide Variety Of Topics. These Range From The Early Work On Multicomponent Systems To Later Statistical Mechanical And Quantum Mechanical Studies On The Thomas-Fermi Model Of The Atom Transitions In Two-Dimensional Adsorbed Layers Dispersion Forces Between Molecules A Comprehensive Review Of The Virial Theorem And Applications To Ions In Solution. In 1971 Bill Founded Mcmillan Science Associates Which He Built Up Over Subsequent Decades As A Wide-Ranging Consulting Company For High Technology And Military Projects. He Was Interested In Topics As Diverse As Traffic Flow Global Warming Ozone Depletion And Atmospheric Studies Of Venus. Always A Part-Time Faculty Member In His Later Years He Continued His Many Activities After Retirement In 1990. Bill Had A Brilliant Mind And Could Talk And Write About Anything From Planetary Physics To The Thermodynamics Of Solutions. He Was An Enthusiastic And Well-Organized Teacher In Courses Ranging From First-Year Chemistry To Graduate Courses In Quantum Chemistry And Statistical Mechanics. He Would Astonish Students In A Computer Age With Quick "Back Of The Envelope" Calculations. Veteran Department Faculty And Staff Remember His Trenchant Memo "What'S Important" Which Emphasized That Furthering Good Teaching And Research Must Override Everything Else In Department Priorities. <br/> <br/> Dover Publications T1846 paperback

375804Unmounted Card. Fine Condition. Jack Steinberger 1921–2020 Nobel Prize in Physics 1988 was one of CERN’s senior experimental physicists during the Large Electron–Positron Collider LEP era and a visible figure around the ALEPH project bringing decades of experience in experimental particle physics to the LEP programme. Although not the chief engineer of ALEPH Steinberger played an important advisory and leadership role within the laboratory at the time lending his authority to major detector projects and championing the precision-measurement goals that defined LEP's design. His presence at the completion of the ALEPH barrel in 1988 reflects both his standing within CERN and his long commitment to the experimental infrastructure that made high-energy electroweak physics possible. The card appears to have been given to a CERN colleague : CERN’s internal staff lists from the 1980s include several British engineers and technical staff with the surname Priestley and at least one J. Priestley appears in LEP-era documentation. Size: 10.5 x 14.75 cms. Category: Ephemera; New Arrivals; This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.
