Condition: Wie neu. 4°. XVI, 624 pages including an original full page potrtrait-engraving of scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Original Hardcover, recently beautifully rebacked with gilt lettering on spine. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Pages 559 to 564 with central tear. Few small library stamps (discarded). Also with a contribution by Darwin in the section "Letter to the editor" (Darwin responds to an article "Leaves injured at Night by free radiation"). James Clerk Maxwell FRS FRSE (13 June 1831 5 November 1879) was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time electricity, magnetism, and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon. Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realised by Isaac Newton. With the publication of "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" in 1865, Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. Maxwell proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. The unification of light and electrical phenomena led to the prediction of the existence of radio waves. Maxwell helped develop the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution, a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases. He is also known for presenting the first durable colour photograph in 1861 and for his foundational work on analysing the rigidity of rod-and-joint frameworks (trusses) like those in many bridges. His discoveries helped usher in the era of modern physics, laying the foundation for such fields as special relativity and quantum mechanics. Many physicists regard Maxwell as the 19th-century scientist having the greatest influence on 20th-century physics. His contributions to the science are considered by many to be of the same magnitude as those of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. In the millennium poll a survey of the 100 most prominent physicists Maxwell was voted the third greatest physicist of all time, behind only Newton and Einstein. On the centenary of Maxwell's birthday, Einstein described Maxwell's work as the "most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton". (Wikipedia).…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. ++BELL. Alexander Graham. AND J. Willard Gibbs, and S.P. Langley, and A.A. Michelson. ++ Bell: "Upon the Electrical Experiments to determine the location of the Bullet in the body of the late President Garfield; and upon a successful form of Induction Balance for the painless detection of Metallic Masses in the Human Body," found in "American Journal of Science and the Arts," New Haven, pp 22-61 (a long article for the AJSA), along with 31 text illustrations, volume 23, 1883. offered in the full volume of 488pp (with 5 folding plates). Newly and very tastefully rebound in calf-backed marbled boards. The text is in VG+ condition. PROVENANCE: there is an interesting collection and rich lineage of ex-libris rubber stamps on the title page, including an ownership stamp of the Carl Zeiss library in Jena (see pic). [++] Also in this volume: A.A. Michelson, "A Method for Determining the Rate of Tuning Forks", pp 61-64. [AND WITH] J. Willard Gibbs, "Notes on the Electromagnetic Theory of Light. No. III, On the General Equations of Monochromatic Light in Media of Every Degree of Transparency", pp 107-114. [AND WITH] S.P. LANGLEY, "The Selective Absorption of Solar Energy", pp 169-196. [++] The first paper here is a long one by Bell on a rather famous attempt/experiment modifying his telephone in attempting to explore for the bullet in the mortally-wounded U.S. President James Garfield (who was shot by an assassin in July 1881). This was a very well-documented and public event that was followed in popular magazines, and yet there are scant references to this paper that I have been able to locate. At the time the paper was submitted, Garfield was still alive, though by the time of publication he would be dead, succumbing 79 days after the assassination attempt. Bell made several attempts to locate the projectile but was unsuccessful. That said, this was a major application of his "telephonic" device to non-invasively locate metal objects in patients in the pre-X-ray period. As a piece of trivia I should note that the device was developed at Bell's Volta Bureau, which was only two blocks away from my store back in my old Georgetown (DC) days. [++] There were earlier treatments on this event, though none that I can find come anywhere close to thorough description (with additions and improvements) that we see here. (For example, there was a one-page summation of the event--"Probing by Electricity"-- that appeared in "Nature, an Illustrated Weekly Journal of Science", London, 10 November 1881, vol 25 no. 628, page 40.).…
