This volume was dedicated to Albert Einstein and is the only book that was ever written by "The Father of the Zoom Lens". With / An original black & white silver gelatin 5 x 7 photograph of Dr. Albert Einstein and Dr. Frank Gerald Back seated together in very fine condition acquired directly from Dr. Back's estate. This photograph was taken circa 1954 and is one of the images published in this limited edition. With An 18" x 22" blueprint folded of the Solar Eclipse Spectrograph size "C" drawing. It was made from the original drawing dated 4/1/55 drawn by Zoomar's Chief Designer Alfred Joseph Quittner "AJQ" & approved by Dr. Back "FGB". A very interesting package indeed. Dr. Back was a very close friend of Albert Einstein. <br /> Dr. Einstein persuaded the author to take the trip commemorated in this beautifully produced volume in order to capture the total eclipse of the sun which occurred on June 20 1955. Dr. Back intended to provide conclusive evidence for Einstein's theory of relativity by calculating the optical distortion if any of starlight caused by the sun's gravity. Earlier in 1919 Einstein's general relativity principles were supported by observations of a solar eclipse. The two scientists conferred on the project for over a year. Armed with a special Zoomar designed & built wide-angle solar-eclipse spectrograph Dr. Back was off to the Philippine Islands to board a military jet & chase the eclipse. Einstein however died while Back was on his way to Manila. Unable to report the excursion to his friend Dr. Back dedicated this book to his memory. Dr. Frank Back held over 200 patents directly relating to photographic equipment. He was the founder & president of Zoomar Inc. The photographic term " zoom" was derived from Zoomar. Dr. Back created the first widely used zoom lenses for motion picture and television; then in 1959 introduced the first zoom lens for still cameras with the introduction of the 36-82mm/f2.8 Voigtlander Zoomar. Dr. Back & Zoomar purchased the great Heinz Kilfitt optical factory of Munich Germany in 1966 & it became a subsidiary of Zoomar Inc. This volume was never widely distributed & when Zoomar Inc. ceased operations at Glen Cove Long Island many cases of this book were discovered & unceremoniously trashed. The existing number of copies is unknown but the book is not frequently encountered. This copy came from the personal estate of Dr. Frank Gerald Back & it is one of the few copies signed by him. An excellent example suited for collectors of Science Astronomy Einstein Zoomar or Photographic History in general. In a lovely custom clamshell case with a window insert displaying the original Einstein/Back photo.<br /> On page 13 there is a typo. He wrote July 301954 instead of June 30 1954 and was never changed. The Ram Press unknown

192478904London: Methuen & Company 1924. First edition of this classic account of Born's analysis and interpretation of Einstein's theory of relativity. Octavo original cloth frontispiece of Einstein. Signed by Max Born on the verso of the frontispiece. Translated by Henry L. Brose. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. First editions are uncommon signed examples rare. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is a book in which one great mind explains the work of another great mind in terms comprehensible to the layman is a significant achievement. This is such a book. Max Born was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954 and was one of the world's great physicists: in this work he analyzes and interprets the theory of Einsteinian relativity. The result is undoubtedly the most lucid and insightful of all the books that have been written to explain the revolutionary theory that marked the end of the classical and the beginning of the modern era of physics. Born follows a quasi-historical method of presentation. The book begins with a review of the classical physics covering such topics as origins of space and time measurements geometric axioms Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomy concepts of equilibrium and force laws of motion inertia mass momentum and energy Newtonian world system absolute space and absolute time gravitation celestial mechanics centrifugal forces and absolute space laws of optics the corpuscular and undulatory theories speed of light wave theory Doppler effect convection of light by matter electrodynamics including magnetic induction electromagnetic theory of light electromagnetic ether electromagnetic laws of moving bodies electromagnetic mass and the contraction hypothesis. Born then takes up his exposition of Einstein's special and general theories of relativity discussing the concept of simultaneity kinematics Einstein's mechanics and dynamics relativity of arbitrary motions the principle of equivalence the geometry of curved surfaces and the space-time continuum among other topics. Born then points out some predictions of the theory of relativity and its implications for cosmology and indicates what is being sought in the unified field theory. This work steers a middle course between vague popularizations and complex scientific presentations. This is a careful discussion of principles stated in thoroughly acceptable scientific form yet in a manner that makes it possible for the reader who has no scientific training to understand it. Only high school algebra has been used in explaining the nature of classical physics and relativity and simple experiments and diagrams are used to illustrate each step. The layman and the beginning student in physics will find this an immensely valuable and usable introduction to relativity. Methuen & Company hardcover

19242905Berlin: Julius Springer 1924. First edition. original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of the presentation of "Bose-Einstein statistics." “In 1924 Bose found a way to derive Planck’s equation for black body radiation using a statistical approach based entirely on the idea that light is made up of tiny particles photons. This echoed the statistical mechanics approach of Ludwig Boltzmann to the behaviour of gases but using a different statistical rule; it derives black body radiation entirely in quantum terms without using the idea of electromagnetic radiation at all. Bose wrote a paper about his discovery and sent it to Albert Einstein who immediately saw its significance translated it into German and arranged for its publication in the prestigious Zeitschrift für Physik. Einstein developed the idea to apply to other kinds of particle not just to a ‘gas’ of photons which is why this approach is usually referred to as ‘Bose-Einstein statistics’. Paul Dirac coined the name ‘bosons’ for particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics" Gribbin Q is for Quantum.<br /> <br /> Particle Physics: One Hundred Years of Discoveries: “Discovery of new statistical counting rules for light quanta and a new derivation of Planck’s radiation law. Known as Bose-Einstein quantum statistics for particles with integer spins.â€<br /> <br /> WITH a follow-up paper by Bose: "Wärmegleichgewicht im Strahlungsfeld bei Anwesenheit von Materie": "Bose's first paper in 'Zeitschrift für Physik' was followed by another that was also translated by Einstein and published during 1924. In it Bose provided a general statistical treatment of emission and absorption processes for electromagnetic radiation in equilibrium with matter. This paper was accompanied by a note by Einstein expressing serious doubts about the method. In January 1925 Bose wrote to Einstein from Paris that he was working on a paper he felt would remove these doubts. But it seems never to have been completed" DSB.<br /> <br /> Plancks Gesetz und Lichtquantenhypothese. IN: Zeitschrift für Physik Vol 26 No. 3 August 1924 pp. 178-81.

1936H40351New York: Amateur Astronomers Association 1936. Very good. Old cloth 3-ring binder with acetate sheaths containing the issues. This started out as a 4 pp. periodical but expanded in later issues. In 1936 the journal merged with The Sky published by Hayden Planetarium which subsequently merged with The Telescope in 1941 to become Sky & Telescope which is still being published. Condition is mainly very good although the first three issues we have have some damage to fore-edges. The first issue has a supplementary sheet laid in "Professor Einstein Sends Greetings to the Amateur Astronomers Association" reprinting in facsimile the handwritten note with a printed translation and a facsimile of another note from Einstein. We have Vol. I nos. 1 & 2 April and May 1929; Vol. 2 nos. 1 September 1929 - 9 May-June 1930 -- the April 1930 issue has a cover story on the discovery of Pluto then considered the ninth planet. Pluto was first discovered on February 18 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona.The discovery was announced on March 13 1930 in the Astronomical Journal.; Vol. III nos. 1 October-November 1930 - 7/8 May-June 1931; Vol. IV nos. 1 September-October 1931 - 8 Summer 1932; Vol. V nos. 1 September-October 1932 - 3 March 1933 -- these expanded to 6 pp. each; Vol. VI nos. 1 - 3 Winter & Spring 1933-1934 - Summer 1934 -- beginning with Vol. VI these are 16 pp. each; with the Spring issue cover story on Hayden Planetarium; Vol. VII nos. 1 Autumn 1934 - 3 Spring 1935; Vol. VIII nos. 1 Autumn 1935 - 3 Spring 1936. We don't know if we're missing any or not but it's a nice early run of this rare astronomical journal. Amateur Astronomers Association unknown
