Contemporary full buckram with printed title on the spine. = This discovery of pulsars was made at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge and was reason for the Nobel Committee to grant Antony Hewish the Nobel Prize in physics. "One of his PhD students, Jocelyn Bell, noted the radio source which was ultimately recognised as the first pulsar. The paper announcing the discovery had five authors, Hewish's name being listed first, Bell's second. Hewish and Martin Ryle were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974 for work on the development of radio aperture synthesis and its role in the discovery of pulsars. The Nobel award to Ryle and Hewish without the inclusion of Bell as a co-recipient was controversial, and was roundly condemned by Hewish's fellow astronomer Fred Hoyle" (Wikipedia). We offer the complete Nature Volume 217 which consists of thirteen issues (numbered 5123-5135) covering January-March 1968, bound in one volume. Bookplate on front pastedown; library stamp in the margin of the first index leaf. Otherwise, clean; the Pulsar paper pristine.…
