Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. large Size Book, 1st Printing.Here is Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a hopelessly by-the-book military instructor and devout Christian. His fierce exterior hides a compassionate soul that few- students and soldiers alike- will ever see, and he becomes the greatest commander of the Civil War. We follow Winfield Scott Hancock, a Captain of Quartermasters who is assigned command of a brigade of infantry, quickly establishing himself as one of the finest leaders in the Union army. Then there is Joshua Chamberlain, who gives up his promising academic career to volunteer for service in the new army, only to become one of the most heroic soldiers in American history. And here too is a brilliant portrait of the complex, aristocratic Robert E. Lee, who is faced with the agonizing decision of resigning from a distinguished thirty-year army career in order to defend his home, never believing until too late that a civil war would ever truly come to pass. As the war gathers momentum, Stonewall Jackson wins his reputation by a series of stinging victories over ineptly led Union forces. Lee, finally given command of the Confederate forces, recognizes that this strange, devout, and dangerous man is his greatest weapon. For a time, it truly seems as if Lee will lead his army to final victory. Nowhere is this plainer than at the Battle of Fredericksburg, where, for the first time, all four men meet on the same field and experience the exhilaration and raw horror of battle. But it is in the next great fight, the Battle of Chancellorsville, that Lee's brilliant strategy, and Jackson's supreme achievement, are overshadowed when Jackson is mortally wounded by his own men. This loss is the true turning point of the war. Lee now realizes that against the ever-growing numbers of Union forces, he can only win by a direct threat to Washington. So the battle-hardened armies of the Confederacy begin their fateful invasion of the North, toward an obscure crossroads in Pennsylvania called Gettysburg. tonewall" Jackson, a hopelessly by-the-book military instructor and devout Christian.

Soft cover. Condition: Fair. "Hall's Discovery Comparable with the greatest ever made by Michael Faraday"--Kelvin Edwin Hall. "On a New Action of the Magnet on Electric Currents" being an offprint from the American Journal of Mathematics. 2 (3): 287 292, 1879. Original wrappers. This offprint has seen its fair share of bumps and bruises probably a little too tall (12.5") to be in wrappers this thin. FAIR copy, only. [++] "The Hall effect, development of a transverse electric field in a solid material when it carries an electric current and is placed in a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the current. This phenomenon was discovered in 1879 by the U.S. physicist Edwin Herbert Hall. The electric field, or Hall field, is a result of the force that the magnetic field exerts on the moving positive or negative particles that constitute the electric current. Whether the current is a movement of positive particles, negative particles in the opposite direction, or a mixture of the two, a perpendicular magnetic field displaces the moving electric charges in the same direction sideways at right angles to both the magnetic field and the direction of current flow. The accumulation of charge on one side of the conductor leaves the other side oppositely charged and produces a difference of potential. An appropriate meter may detect this difference as a positive or negative voltage. The sign of this Hall voltage determines whether positive or negative charges are carrying the current."--Encyclopedia Britannica "The Hall effect is the production of a potential difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor that is transverse to an electric current in the conductor and to an applied magnetic field perpendicular to the current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879." Wikipedia [++] "Hall is best known for the effect bearing his name; it formed the basis of his Ph.D. dissertation and was the subject of many of his later researches. He was stimulated by Rowland to question a statement in Maxwell s Electricity and Magnetism that the force acting on a conductor in a magnetic field acts on the conductor directly and not on the electric current. Hall s experimental persistence was rewarded when he found that a current through a gold conductor in a magnetic field produced an electric potential perpendicular to both the current and the field. The notion that this was due to simple interaction between the current and the field had to be abandoned, however, when other metals were found for which the effect was in a direction opposite to that predicted. Hall s discovery was termed by Kelvin as comparable with the greatest ever made by Michael Faraday. It sparked interest in studies in this area, and three other transverse effects were soon discovered; they bear the names of Andreas von Ettingshausen, Walther Nernst, and Augusto Righi and Sylvestre Leduc."--Complete DSB online.…

Paris, G. Masson, 1880. 8vo. Contemp. hcalf, raised bands, gilt spine. Light wear along edges. Small stamps on verso of titlepage. In: "Annales de Chimie et de Physique", 5e Series, Tome 21. 576 pp. and 2 folded engraved plates. (Entire volume offered). Bell's paper: 399-430. With 11 fine textillustrations (showing the apparatus). Clean and fine. First French version of "On the Production and Reproduction of Sound by Light" (the French version published in November and the English in October 1880) of this importent paper in which Bell describes his and Charles Sumner Tainter's, his assistent, invention of the Photophone or Radiophone, THE PROGENITOR OF MODERN FIBER OPTICS. This invention made possible the world's FIRST WIRELESS TELEPHONE MESSAGE, and the first call was sent from the Franklin Scool to the window of Bell's laboratory, some 213 meter away.Also with Breguet's importent paper on the Selenium used in the technology."On June 3, 1880, Alexander Graham Bell transmitted the first wireless telephone message on his newly invented "photophone." Bell believed the photophone was his most important invention. The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light. Of the eighteen patents granted in Bell's name alone, and the twelve he shared with his collaborators, four were for the photophone. Bell's photophone worked by projecting voice through an instrument toward a mirror. Vibrations in the voice caused similar vibrations in the mirror. Bell directed sunlight into the mirror, which captured and projected the mirror's vibrations. The vibrations were transformed back into sound at the receiving end of the projection. The photophone functioned similarly to the telephone, except the photophone used light as a means of projecting the information, while the telephone relied on electricity." (Mary Bellis).The first successful attempts were based upon the properties of selenium: "The electric resistance of which varies with the degree of illumination to which it is exposed. Hence, given a transmitting instrument, such as a flexible mirror, by which the vibrations of a sound could throw into vibrations a beam of light, a receiver, consisting of sensitive selenium, forming part of an electric circuit with a battery and a telephone, should suffice to translate the varying intensities of light into corresponding varying intensities of electric current, and finally into vibrations of the telephone disk audible once more as sound."
