Copertina morbida. Condition: Ottimo. Ed. integrale. 2 v. (XVII, 430 ; 464 p.) ; 22 x 14 cm. Grandi tascabili economici, 326-327. Perché l'Europa è quella che conosciamo oggi? Cosa si nasconde dietro i confini, le crisi e le conquiste del nostro continente? In un'epoca di incertezza globale, la Storia d'Europa di H.A.L. Fisher torna a essere una bussola indispensabile. Questo volume non è solo un racconto del passato, ma un'analisi magistrale del DNA europeo: un intreccio unico di libertà, conflitti, arte e potere. Fisher rompe gli schemi della storiografia tradizionale e ci regala un'opera che si legge come un romanzo, dove i protagonisti non sono solo re e generali, ma le idee che hanno cambiato il mondo. Introduzione di Francesco Pefetti. Titolo originale dell'opera: «A history of Europe». Traduzione di Ada Prospero. (1. vol. ISBN 887983956X; 2 vol. 8879839551).

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The December,1948 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be eight minutes of midnight as of December,1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 353 through 384 for the annual volume, monthly pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). A strong Very Good; moderate sunning at edges of covers, otherwise no notable flaws whatever (see scans). Very light inevitable age-toning to the pages. A handsome example; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1948 issue: Message from Albert Einstein; UNAEC; International Control Discussions; Crushing of Genetics in the USSR; Atomic Deadlock; Russian Science & Politics. Writers include Albert Einstein; David F. Cavers; Edward A. Shils; E.M. Friedwald, N.F. Mott, H.C. Urey, M.L. Oliphant; L.C. Dunn; H.J. Muller; Sir Alfred Zimmern; Karl T. Compton; Bernard Brodie.

First edition. The Bohr-Einstein Debate Begins. First edition, rare in the original printed wrappers, of the proceedings of the fifth Solvay Congress, where the debate between Bohr and Einstein on the consistency and completeness of quantum mechanics began. It was at this, the most famous of the Solvay conferences, that Einstein, disenchanted with Heisenberg's uncertainly principle, made his famous remark that "God does not play dice," to which Niels Bohr replied, "Einstein, stop telling God what to do!" Seventeen of the twenty-nine attendees, which included nearly all the principal architects of the old and the new quantum theory, were or became Nobel Prize winners. "The three and a half years since the fourth Solvay Conference . were marked by enormous progress in quantum physics. Partly based on discoveries and ideas that had been available already before 1924 ? such as the Compton effect and matter waves ? the new atomic theory had arisen, which did more than throw new light on the difficulties discussed at the 1924 conference: quantum or wave mechanics went right to the heart of the problems posed by atomic phenomena. The two subjects put programmatically into the title of the fifth Solvay Conference ? electrons and photons ? designated the crucial points of interest, because 'electrons' also stood for the smallest, massive constituents of matter, and they now became associated with waves, and 'photons' (a name given only recently, in October 1926 by the physical chemist Gilbert N. Lewis, to Einstein's light-quanta) characterized the quantum-theoretical aspect of electromagnetic radiation. It was the declared intention of the Scientific Committee of the Institut International dePhysique Solvay to contribute by scientific reports and discussions about them to the clarification of the scientific concepts in the physics of the day. In retrospect, one may indeed attribute an important success to the 1927 Solvay Conference in marking the completion of the ideas that had first been discussed in the international physics community sixteen years previously at the first Solvay Conference of 1911" (Mehra & Rechenberg, pp. 233-4). Following a 'Notice nécrologique' by Lorentz, the present volume contains the following reports, and discussions about them by the participants (all articles in French): 'The Intensity of the Reflection of X-rays,' by Bragg; 'Disagreement between Experience and the Electromagnetic Theory of Radiation,' by Compton; 'The New Dynamics of Quanta,' by de Broglie; 'The Mechanics of Quanta,' by Born and Heisenberg; 'The Mechanics of Waves,' by Schrödinger; 'The Quantum Postulate and the New Development of Atomic Theory,' by Bohr. No copies located in auction records. In 1911 the Belgian industrialist Ernest Solvay invited a group of the world's most prominent physicists, including Einstein, Planck, Lorentz, Sommerfeld, Rutherford and Marie Curie, to participate in a scientific conference on the difficulties of reconciling classical physics with quantum theory. The conference "set the style for a new type of scientific meetings, in which a select group of the most well informed experts in a given field would meet to discuss the problems at its frontiers, and would seek to define the steps for their solution" (Mehra, Solvay Conferences, p. xv). The first Solvay Conference-widely considered a turning point in the history of modern physics-was so successful that in the following year Solvay established a foundation, now known as the International Solvay Institutes for Physics and Chemistry, "to encourage the researches which would extend and deepen the knowledge of natural phenomena" (ibid.) and to sponsor further conferences. The next two Solvay Conferences met in 1913 and 1921; subsequent conferences have been held every three years except during wartime. "From amongst the members of the Scientific Committee [of the 1927 Congress], two had already played a leading role in 1911: the Chairman Hendrik Lorentz and Albert Einstein; th.

Two vintage reference photographs of actor James Mason from the 1945 British film. From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah. Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Left with amnesia after a suicide attempt, a brilliant concert pianist undergoes hypnotherapy to recover memories of her unhappy former life. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Screenplay. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, lightly edgeworn and toned.

Each of the four items has text clear and complete. The four are in fair condition, on aged paper, with minor staining from the paperclip used to attach them, and a small closed tear at the foot of the first letter. Letter One to 'Dear Mrs Chapman'; the other three to 'Dear Ronnie'. Letter One (4to, 2 pp): 19 November 1938. Chapman (referred to throughout as 'Ronnie') has not been well, and Fisher makes a suggestion to his mother regarding his 'future': 'Cecil Rhodes spent seven years on this process and never regretted it. [.] I do not, of course, wish to imply that a degree is indispensible. Many good Oxford men have progressed without it - but it is useful and an encouragement to those who have earned it, and Ronnie, once returned to normal health, could so easily achieve it [.]'. Letter Two (12mo, 4 pp): 29 November 1938. Fisher has been discussing matters with Chapman's tutor 'Brydon', who finds that as his 'work has been so much interrupted by illness' a place in the Honour School that summer would be a 'risk'. Discusses possible courses of action. Letter Three (12mo, 2 pp): 21 August 1939. He is sorry to learn of Chapman's 'eye trouble', and suggests that he apply to the BBC for employment, using Fisher's name as referee. Letter Four (4to, 1 p, typed): 20 April 1939. He is pleased to learn that Chapman is working at a publisher's office, and that his health is improving. 'Later on when you have made a success of your profession you must replace your name on the books and renew your contact with New College and Oxford.' He is sorry to hear that 'Limnerslease' (now the G. F. Watts museum) is up for sale: 'I have so many delightful recollections of that beautiful house'. Chapman is the author of 'The Laurel and the Thorn: A study of G. F. Watts (London: Faber, 1945).
