Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an investigation into the anomalous behavior of copper as an anode in chloride solutions. The author's experiments show that copper can dissolve with a valency ranging from 1 to 2, influenced by the solution's hydrochloric acid concentration and the electrolytic process's variables. Central to the book's argument is the assumption that copper dissolves at the electrode's boundary in a way that maintains a chemical equilibrium between cuprous and cupric salts in the hydrochloric acid solution. To test this hypothesis, the author examines the chemical equilibrium and determines the concentrations at the electrode during electrolysis. The book's findings suggest that the equilibrium between copper, cupric, and cuprous salts is dynamic and influenced by a complex interplay of factors. The author's insights advance our understanding of the electrochemical behavior of copper and its implications for industrial applications and further research.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 185 x 110 mm. 112 pages. Yonatan Ratosh is the pen name of Uriel Shelach whose name was originally Uriel Heilperin (Warsaw, Poland November 18, 1908 - March 25, 1981). He was an Israeli poet and the founder of the Canaanite movement. Born to a Zionist family, to a Hebraist educator, Yechiel, who raised Uriel and his siblings in Hebrew. In 1921, the family immigrated to Mandatory Palestine. Uriel changed his last name from Heilperin to Halperin, then to Shelakh. Later he used the pseudonym Yonatan Ratosh in poetic and political writing. He attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Sorbonne, and published his first poem in 1926. In the mid-1930s, he edited the Revisionist movement's newspaper and was active in right-wing underground organizations. Ratosh was awarded the Prime Minister's Prize. His son Saharon Shelah, a mathematician, won the Israel Prize. Another son, Hamman Shelah, was a magistrate judge who was killed along with wife and daughter in the RAS BURQA MASSACRE. One of his brothers was linguist Uzzi Ornan. Ratosh died in 1981. In the late 1920s, Ratosh (using his birth name, Heilperin) embraced Revisionist Zionism, becoming close friends with Eliyahu Bet-Zuri and Avraham Stern. A talented writer, Halperin became the editor of the official publication of the Irgun, "Ba-Cherev" ("By the Sword"). In 1937, Jabotinsky demoted Halperin for the extremism of his views. Frustrated, he travelled to Paris to meet with another disillusioned Revisionist, Semitic language scholar Adia Gurevitch (A.G. Horon). Heilperin and Gurevitch formulated "a new Hebrew consciousness" combining the former's political ideas with the latter's historical outlook. In their minds, the Jewish People were a part of a larger Hebrew civilization bound together by Canaanite languages and nationhood in Canaan. With the outbreak of World War II began writing (as Ratosh) for Haaretz. Adopting the pseudonym of Yonatan Ratosh, he began to write poetry that "ritsha" "tore apart" existing conventions of style, language, and culture. In 1939, he founded the Canaanite movement, which rejected both religion and Jewish nationalism. This group promoted the theory of a shared cultural heritage for the entire Middle East. The literary output of the movement was strongly influenced by an ancient, pre-biblical mythology and vocabulary. Ratosh's own work is closely linked to the movement's political theory. His early poems are very structured, and play with rhyme and repetition to create an almost hypnotic effect. His later work employs colloquial diction and more contemporary style. While the movement founded by Ratosh was never broad, T. Carmi wrote that "its emphasis on myth and its stylistic mannerisms had considerable impact on contemporary poetry." In an essay entitled "Ketav el ha-No'ar ha-'Ivri" "Epistle to the Hebrew Youth") from 1943, Heilperin/Ratosh presented his new ideas to the Hebrew-speaking public. This and other essays called for the community of the Yishuv to divorce themselves from their Jewish roots and embrace a new identity as "Hebrews". The "Young Hebrews" became known as the Canaanites, a mocking name coined by Haaretz editor Avraham Shlonsky. In 1950, Ratosh founded and co-edited the literary journal Alef which published translations of the work of Stendhal, Camus, Shaw and O'Neill. Ratosh continued publishing poetry and enjoyed a brief renaissance as an ideologue after the Six Day War. His political philosophy had an impact across the political spectrum: sharing the Right's irredentism and advocating a secular (in lieu of Jewish) state like post-Zionists, particularly radical peace advocate Uri Avnery. His last poem in book form was Hava ("Eve"), published in 1963. In it, he reinterprets the story of the Garden of Eden as the coronation of a Rain God. Ratosh is considered among the pioneers of Hebrew Science Fiction, having translated in 1952 the anthology "Adventures in tomorrow" edited by Kendell Foster Crossen . . .
