Électrons et Photons - Rapports et Discussions du Cinquieme Conseil de Physique tenu a Bruxelles du 24 au 29 Octobre 1927 sous les Auspices de L'Institut International de Physique de Solvay. Publiés par la Commission administrative de l'Institut.

RARE publication of papers and discussions that took place at the Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons in October 1927, where the world's most notable physicists met to discuss the newly formulated quantum theory. The leading figures were Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Seventeen of the twenty-nine attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners, including Marie Curie, who alone among them, had won Nobel Prizes in two separate scientific disciplines. This conference was also the culmination of the struggle between Einstein and the scientific realists, who wanted strict rules of scientific method as laid out by Charles Peirce and Karl Popper, versus Bohr and the instrumentalists, who wanted looser rules based on outcomes; the instrumentalists won, instrumentalism having been seen as the norm ever since. Contains H.A.Lorentz's portrait as frontispiece. [CONTENTS]: H.-A.Lorentz - Notice nécrologique; Cinquieme Conseil de Physique / W.-L.Bragg - L'intensit de reflexion des rayons X / Arthur H.Compton - Discordances entre l'experience et la theorie electro-magnetique du rayonnement / de Broglie - La nouvelle dynamique des quanta / Max Born et Werner Heisenberg - La mecanique des quanta / Erwin Schrödinger - La mecanique des ondes / Niels Bohr - Le postulat des quanta et le nouveau development de l'automatisme. 255x165mm.

Électricité animale, prouvée par la découverte des phénomènes physiques et moraux de la catalepsie hystérique, et de ses variétés : et par les bons effets de l'électricité artificielle dans le traitement de ces maladies.

A Paris, A Lyon : , 1808.8°, mm 200x130, due parti di pp. XVI, 121, (1); pp. 382, (2); ritratto dell'autore inciso al frontespizio; legatura coeva in mezza pelle, titoli in oro. Carte ingiallite uniformemente con rare e lievi bruniture, nel complesso ben conservato (una sottolineatura a pagina 11 in matita blu, un foro a pagina 201 sul margine bianco). Seconda edizione, pubblicata a pochi mesi dalla morte dell'autore. Petetin fornisce il suo resoconto della guarigione di otto catalettici tramite l'elettricità. Deleuze, il primo bibliografo della materia, dedica un intero capitolo nella sua "Histoire critique du magnétisme animal", alle opere di Petetin (pp. 247-258). Deleuze non approva la prima opera di Petetin, perché in essa l'autore rifiuta il magnetismo come causa di certe malattie, e sviluppa una personale teoria dei fluidi elettrici("Memoire sur la decouverte des phenomenes que presentetn la catalepsie et le somnabulisme", 1787). Ma a vent'anni di distanza anche il Petetin non disdegna le teorie magnetiche e le utilizza per curare alcuni suoi pazienti catalettici. Di ciò si compiace il Deleuze che finalmente scrive: "M. Petetin a persisté dans sa théorie sur le fluide électrique; mais il a changé d'opinion sur le magnétisme, dont il a reconnu la réalité". Deleuze, Histoire critique: pp. 247-258. Caillet 8563: Ouvrage devenu rare et toujours recherché. Entrambi ignorano l'edizione del 1805.
