Hardcover. Condition: Fine. THE DISCOVERY OF QUASARS by "The Father of Quasars" Maarten Schmidt (Astronomy Magazine 2022)[++] Four major papers in one issue of "Nature": Maarten Schmidt, "3C 273: A Star-like Object with Large Red-shift" page 1040 AND--J. C. Hazard, M. B. Mackey, and A. J. Shimmin, "Investigation of the Radio Source 2C 273 by the Method of Lunar Occulations" pp 1037-1039. AND J. B. Okie, "Absolute Energy Distribution in the Optical Spectrum of 3C 273" pp 1040-1041. AND Jesse L. Greenstein and Thomas A Matthews, "Red Shift of the Unusual Radio Source 3C 48" pp 1041-1042, all in the single issue of NATURE, vol 197, 16 March 1963, pp1033-1134. London, Macmillan & Co., 1963. [++] "The four, now classic, papers by Hazard et al (1963), Schmidt (1963), Oke (1963), and Greenstein and Matthews (1963) were published as consecutive papers in the March 16, 1963 issue of Nature. [that offered here]"--The Discovery of Quasars K. I. Kellermann, National Radio Astronomy Observatory. [++] "The discovery of Quasars in 1963 [in the paper offered here] provided a final piece of evidence that undermined the Steady State theory of the universe, and supported the Big Bang.  Maarten Schmidt, a Caltech astronomer working at Mt. Palomar Observatory, was credited with discovering the most distant object observed to dateso bright that it was mistaken for a star; but it was billion light years away.  Because of the Doppler shift, the characteristic lines with which we identify stars were not at the expected wavelengths. C 273 came to be known as a quasar, short for quasi-stellar radio source, since it looks like a star, but cannot possibly be one since it is so bright.  In subsequent years many more quasars were found, including some much further away than 3C 273. These findings dealt a serious blow the Steady State theory, which proposed that the universe is more or less uniform, so that young galaxies should be distributed evenly, with some close and some far away.  If quasars are only found at great distances, they could very well be young galaxies, since we are seeing them much earlier in the history of the universe"Cosmology timeline at Carnegie Science online (1963) [++] "Schmidt's discovery changed extragalactic astronomy in a fundamental way. Measured redshifts quickly went from about 0.5 to more than 2 in only a few years, making possible a new range of cosmological studies, as well as the realization that supermassive black holes which power radio galaxies and quasars play a prominent role in the evolution of galaxies." --"The Discovery of Quasars" by K. I. Kellermann, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Charlottesville, Va. …

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A large collection of 57 volumes of this important journal of historical documents, which includes several folded maps and plates, and provides excellent source material relating to the history of Pennsylvania commencing in the year 1664. The collection consists of the first set of 12 consecutive volumes edited by Samuel Hazard (printed in Philadelphia by Joseph Severns & Co. from 1852-56), together with the 1860 Index volume; the Second Series of 19 consecutive volumes edited by John B. Linn and William H. Egle (printed in Harrisburg by Lane S. Hart, B.F. Meyers, and E.K. Meyers from 1875-90); and the first consecutive 25 volumes of the Third Series edited by William Egle (printed in Harrisburg by Clarence M. Busch and W.M. Stanley Ray from 1894-98). The collection lacks only the final five volumes of the third series (vols. 26-30). An ex-library set bound in dark blue cloth over boards, with an institutional ink stamp or bookplate on the front pastedowns and scattered perforated stamps (on the title pages, some preliminary leaves, and folded maps and plates). Most volumes are good overall with some intermittent modest tape repairs, and scattered tears at the folds of several folded maps and plates. An historically important and scarce comprehensive collection.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The Korean Studies Guide serves as a comprehensive handbook for exploring the diverse aspects of Korean culture, history, and society. Developed in 1951 under the auspices of the University of California's Institute of East Asiatic Studies, this guide reflects a renewed Western interest in Korea prompted by postwar geopolitical realities and the Korean War. With financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation and access to unparalleled resources like the Asami collection of Korean literature, the guide offers a structured, annotated bibliography that spans historical, cultural, and academic disciplines. It prioritizes historical materials while weaving in resources on government, economics, art, archaeology, and language, presenting an invaluable starting point for those pursuing in-depth Korean studies. What sets this guide apart is its deliberate effort to navigate Korea's complex linguistic and cultural intersections with neighboring China and Japan. By employing standardized romanization systems and including annotations accessible even to those unfamiliar with the source language, it mitigates language barriers and highlights Korea's unique cultural identity within the broader East Asian context. The guide emphasizes Korea's dual significance-both as a vital lens for understanding Far Eastern civilization and as a distinct entity with over two millennia of cultural continuity. Through its detailed bibliographies and inclusive approach, the Korean Studies Guide invites scholars to engage with Korea's rich intellectual and historical legacy, underscoring the opportunities for further exploration in this dynamic field. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1954.…
