Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In 1901 divers salvaging antiquities from a Hellenistic shipwreck serendipitously recovered the shattered and corroded remains of an ancient Greek gear-driven device, now known as the Antikythera Mechanism. Since its discovery, scholars relying on direct inspection and on increasingly powerful radiographic tools and surface imaging have successfully reconstructed most of the functions and workings of the Mechanism. It was a machine simulating the cosmos as the Greeks understood it, with a half dozen dials displaying coordinated cycles of time and the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets. A Portable Cosmos presents the Antikythera Mechanism as a gateway to understanding Greek astronomy and scientific technology and their place in Greco-Roman society and thought. Although the Mechanism has long had the reputation of being an object we would not have expected the ancient world to have produced, the most recent researches have revealed that its displays were designed so that an educated layman would see how astronomical phenomena were intertwined with one's natural and social environment. It was at once a masterpiece of the genre of wonder-working devices that mimicked nature by means concealed from the viewer, and a mobile textbook of popular science. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. EINSTEIN, Albert. "E=mc^2, the most urgent problem of our time" in "Science Illustrated", April 1946, issue 1/1, 128pp. Original wrappers.Fair-Good copy, 4/10. Ther are bits and rubs here and there, and some short tears. Acceptable. [I have other copies in nicer condition for sale than this on this platform. Uncommon. [++] This seems like an easy and probably unnecessary non-trivia question, but it isn't. When was the first time that the equation that every school child knows E=mc^2 appears in print in this exact form under Einstein's name? Folks naturally say 1905 and 1915 and 1916 and 1919 and 1922 (etc.), but that's not quite right. Even photos showing Einstein lecturing at a blackboard purporting to show the first public appearance of the formula with Einstein are not correct. The very first time that E=mc^2 (in this exact form) appearing under Einstein's name doesn't make its appearance until very late in the game, in the inaugural issue of "Science Illustrated" in April 1946. (It appears not only in the title but in the text as well, on page 17 first column 11 lines from the bottom.) Sounds a bit meshugge, but so far as I can tell it isn't, and that this is it. (I have an email to Gerald Holton asking this question, and the great man and Einstein (among many other things) scholar just flat-out said that he didn't know, which is a fundamental statement in the beginning of building knowledge.) If you know otherwise, please let me know.

Sometimes attributed incorrectly to William Sheppard, Small's manual reflects changes introduced during the Commonwealth. As suggested by its title, Aston's, first issued at the beginning of the Restoration in 1661, aimed to revive aspects of pleading that were discarded during the Civil War and Commonwealth. Small's manual is scarce. OCLC locates 6 co.
