Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'X-Rays and Electrons' is a seminal scientific treatise by Nobel laureate Arthur H. Compton that explores the fundamental properties of X-rays and their complex interactions with matter. Written at a pivotal moment in the history of physics, this work provides an in-depth analysis of the scattering of X-rays by electrons-a phenomenon that became known as the Compton effect and provided crucial evidence for the particle-like nature of radiation.The text meticulously details experimental findings and theoretical frameworks regarding the structure of the atom, the distribution of electrons, and the diffraction and reflection of X-rays. By bridging classical electromagnetic theory with the emerging field of quantum mechanics, Compton offers a comprehensive look at how radiation behaves at the atomic level. This work serves as an essential primary source for understanding the development of modern physics and the experimental breakthroughs that redefined our understanding of light and energy. It is an invaluable resource for scholars, students of physics, and those interested in the history of scientific discovery.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The August, 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 mid-1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 225 through 256 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). Fine; no flaws. Even the inevitable page paper toning is almost nonexistent. 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: Edward U. Condon Cleared by Atomic Energy Commission; AEC Medical Program (Isotopes Symposium); Joyce Clennam Stearns; British Scientists on International Atomic Control; Atomic Power Prospects; Atomic Peace with Russia?: United Nations & Atomic Energy News; On the Application of Intelligence to World Affairs; Middle-Run International Planning. More, of course; see scan of contents. Contributors include William T. R. Fox; Shields Warren; Arthur Holly Compton (discoverer of The Compton Effect); Henry L. Stimson; M. H. L. Pryce; Philip Quincy Wright; Peter Kihss; and the editors. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR30.…
