On the Procession of a Viscous Spheroid in Nature Volume 18 1878 pp. 580-582 LEATHER BOUND. GEORGE DARWIN'S FISSION THEORY OF THE FORMATION OF THE MOON

1878572London: Macmillan 1878. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF GEORGE DARWIN'S FISSION THEORY OF THE FORMATION OF THE MOON. The history of modern lunar origin theory dates to this paper. A reprint of this paper was published in the 1879 Philosophical Transactions; that paper is sometimes misidentified as a first edition but it is not. This paper the one appearing in 1878 in Nature is the true first. "Before Kuiper revived the double planet thesis George Darwin son of the famous British naturalist had in 1878 advanced an attractive alternative. Drawing on the pronounced tidal effects exerted between the earth and moon Darwin speculated that the moon's mass had been ejected from a fluid and rapidly spinning protoearth when centrifugal force and solar tides acting on matter in the earth's equatorial plane exceeded the force of gravity. In time the moon moved out to its present orbit and attained its coincident period of rotation and revolution as a result of tidal interactions between the two bodies. Darwin proposed that these tidal effects on the spherical shape of the earth have changed as the moon has moved farther away in its orbit. Darwin's proposed idea for the creation of the moon came to be known as the "fission theory" of lunar formation. This theory basically stated that the moon broke away from the earth due to its rapid rotation. From this he also calculated that it would have taken at least 56 million years for the moon to reach its current distance from the earth" Giedd Tidal Friction. Darwin argues "that tides raised by the Moon imply an Earth much closer to the Moon far in the past. Modeling Earth and Moon as a viscous liquid rather than a system dominated by oceans and basins Darwin calculated that the two bodies merged about 50 million years ago with the system rotating every five hours" Crottis The New Moon 159.

Light wear to extremities otherwise a fine and clean set. 262 2; 313 3 pp. Rare first Polish edition of the second and third parts of the Descent of Man but published separate from the first part as one work hence the title 'Sexual Selection' a translation authorised by Darwin in response to Malowski's request to make the translation Letter 8910 14 May 1873. Whereas "Origin of Species" established Darwinism as a turning point in nineteenth-century biology "The Descent of Man" helped built a bridge between biology the social sciences and the humanities and made Darwinism a broad system of research designs theoretical principles and philosophical outlook.The numeration of parts is from Chapter I to Chapter VI vol. I and from Chapter VII to Chapter XIV vol. II. It is generally based on the first English edition 1871 but at the end of vol. II the Polish publisher has added the short note on the brains of man and apes of T. H. Huxley which was originally published in the second English edition 1874. "It was translated into Danish Dutch French German Italian Polish Russian and Swedish in Darwin's lifetime and into ten further languages since." Freeman.Maslowski 1847-1928 studied medicine and natural sciences in Paris before returning to Poland where he took part in the January Uprising: he remained active in politics primarily as a journalist. At first an ardent Darwinian he later became a fierce opponent.Not in FreemanDarwin Online: F1101b.1 F1101b.2.OCLC locates four copies worldwide Cornell Univ. Huntington Libr. Yale Univ. Libr.

O Powstawaniu Gatunków. i. e. Polish: "Origin of Species". Translated by Szymon Dickstein. - FIRST FULL POLISH TRANSLATION OF DARWIN'S "ORIGIN OF SPECIES"

188456005Warszawa Przegladu Tygodniowego 1884. Large8vo. In contemporary half calf. Spine with wear lacking the upper 1 cm. Small stamp to title-page. Hindges weak and back board detached from bookblock. Verso of title-page and first leaf on content. 437 1 XVI Including the plate pp. First edition of the first full Polish translation of Darwin's "Origin of Species". An attempt to publish a Polish translation was made as early as 1873. This was however never completed and only half of the work was published Freeman 739 thus making the present copy the very first full Polish translation. As seen in several other countries especially in Japan the majority of Polish intellectuals adopted a Social Darwinism perspective at a very early stage rather than appreciating the English naturalist's caution in applying his ideas to human society."Before the first translations of Darwin's appeared . many Polish intellectuals such as positivist writer Eliza Orzeszkowa 1841-1910 complained about the increasing confusion over the essence of the English naturalist's ideas which had all too often been mixed up with all sorts of ideological debates. However when Darwin's books were actually available in Polish translations the novelty of his concepts gradually wore off making room for more serious attempts to come to terms with evolutionary theory." Glick The Reception of Charles Darwin in Europe. "It appears that the struggle for or against Darwinism in partitioned Poland prefigured a pattern that is relevant for Polish thinking up to the present day: the conflict of striving for progress with the help of powerful allies abroad and of virulently rejecting all foreign advice for fear of losing one's cultural identity." Ibid.Translation was begun by Szymon Dickstein who in the processe of the translation committed suicide. It was completed by Józef Nusbaum who also translated 'The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication' in 1888.Freeman 740 unknown
