Hardcover. Condition: Good. xvi, 450 pp; ads. Original cloth. Cloth very rubbed (this copy was very used, as it should have been). Second Edition. Linus Pauling, in his later years, signed lots of copies of his books on vitamin C, but signed copies of this, his greatest work, are uncommon. This is an especially fine association. SIGNED BY LINUS PAULING to Edward Hughes: "To Eddie Hughes, with sincere/ affection./ Linus Pauling." In the Preface to this second edition, Pauling writes: "I have again to thank many friends for their advice and assistance; I am especially grateful for their aid to Dr. E. W. Hughes, Research Fellow in Chemistry in the California Institute of Technology, and . . ." (p. vii). In the Preface to the first edition (reprinted in this second edition), Pauling included Hughes as first in the list: "I am grateful for advice and assistance in the preparation of the manuscript to many friends, including Dr. E. W. Hughes. . ." (p. x). "In 1924, [Hughes] received a bachelor s degree in chemistry from Cornell and remained there for the next fourteen years. While at Cornell, he gained his Ph.D. in 1935. During this period, he became interested in crystallography after hearing Professor Carlton C. Murdock lecture and went to work with Murdock as a graduate student in the physics department. In 1934, Murdock recommended him as teaching assistant to a visiting professor, Lawrence Bragg. . . . X-ray crystallography was invented by Bragg, and Hughes felt honored to work with him and act as technical editor on his book for the Cornell Press [Atomic Structure of Minerals (1937)]. In 1937, Hughes was again recommended as a teaching assistant, this time to Linus Pauling, who was impressed enough to ask him to act as a technical editor on a book [The Nature of the Chemical Bond] and to offer him a two-year post at Caltech. In 1938, Hughes arrived at Caltech to do research in the chemistry division. . . . Edward Hughes was a respected chemist and continued the pioneering work in crystallography, begun at Caltech by Burdick and Ellis in 1916, when he introduced the 'Least Squares Method' in 1940. This is the universally accepted method for handling the large amount of data involved in the refinement of crystal structure" (online reference).". Signed by Author(s).

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. 3 pages. Horizontal crease. Very Good. Quoting from Wikipedia: "On September 16, 1952, Pauling opened a new research notebook with the words 'I have decided to attack the problem of the structure of nuclei.' On October 15, 1965, Pauling published his Close-Packed Spheron Model of the atomic nucleus in two well respected journals, Science and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For nearly three decades, until his death in 1994, Pauling published numerous papers on his spheron cluster model. . . . In an interview given in 1990 Pauling commented on his model: 'Now recently, I have been trying to determine detailed structures of atomic nuclei by analyzing the ground state and excited state vibrational bends, as observed experimentally. From reading the physics literature, Physical Review Letters and other journals, I know that many physicists are interested in atomic nuclei, but none of them, so far as I have been able to discover, has been attacking the problem in the same way that I attack it. So I just move along at my own speed, making calculations, and I don't worry about someone else publishing their results a month before I publish mine'." Jeremy Bernstein had written a piece for the New York Times (April 28, 1982) entitled "Accepting Scientific Ideas". Linus Pauling begins this letter to Jeremy Bernstein by saying he read Bernstein's piece "with much interest". Bernstein had written: "there should be some support, I think, for people with solid scientific credentials who, for their own reasons, refuse to swim in the same stream as the rest of us. This raises the very important question of how a scientist can tell an unconventional idea from a crank idea. I say 'scientist' because I do not think a nonscientist can make this judgment at all. In fact, I do not think that most scientists can do it in fields that are far removed from their own. . . . In my own field, the physics of elementary particles, I have occasion to encounter papers by people I have not heard of and that, at first sight, seem a little crazy but that, upon closer examination, turn out to be quite interesting. When I receive such a paper, I ask myself three questions: 1. Does it explain anything? 2. Does it predict anything? 3. Is it connected to anything?" By 1982, Pauling's "polyspheron theory of nuclear structure" had been before the scientific world for 17 years, but it had made no impact at all. In this letter, Pauling answers Bernstein's three questions in the affirmative for the polyspheron theory of nuclear structure. Then Pauling writes in his letter: "during the 17 years after the publication of my first paper there has not, so far as I know, appeared a single reference to any of my papers in papers written by other physicists and published in Physical Review, Physical Review Letters, or other physics journals. . . . I am not very concerned about the failure of nuclear physicists to be interested in what I have written, but I must say that I do feel that nuclear physics would benefit if the physicists were to attempt to understand nuclei in the way that I have done.".

Linus Pauling sketched his superconductivity invention. SIGNED by Emile Zuckerhandl, biologist. Pauling is generally associated with chemistry, Vitamin C, and peace. He also had a keen interest in superconductors. In our sketch, drawn in 1989, Pauling illustrates his new technique on superconductivity for biologist Emile Zuckerhandl. Zuckerhandl (1922-2013), a founder of molecular evolution, worked with Pauling to develop the molecular clock hypothesis. Writing in pencil, Zuckerhandl described the sketch on the lower right corner of the page. "2/4/89 LP [Linus Pauling] explains to me a new technique he wants to use in his research on superconductivity, to prepare extremely thin metal fibers (lead in gold)." Pauling wrote "Rolling Mill" under his sketch. On his professional stationery, Zuckerhandl wrote an explanation of the drawing for David Schulson who purchased it in 1994. "About Linus Pauling's little sketch, I wrote on it the following words." The words are the same as the description already quoted. The 4to size drawing is signed and dated by Zuckerhandl "2/24/89." Pauling worked with several scientists in addition to Emile Zuckerhandl, to develop a superconductivity product starting in 1988. Pauling and his team created a, "composite structure in which superconducting materials assumed the form of fine strands embedded in a wave-guiding matrix. The matrix restricted the superconducting current to a linear motion; however, the strands did not need to be straight, but could also be bent or interconnected into a network. This matrix would be built of a non-conducting material." [ Pauling's Superconductivity Patent, Dec. 12, 2012 on Paulingblog ] Pauling sought patents for his invention and with Zuckerhandl and businessman Richard Hicks set up a company to manage the business side of his superconductivity invention. Ultimately, the product found no buyers, the company suffered financial difficulties, Zuckerhandl established his own Institute of Molecular Medical Sciences, and Pauling died in 1994.
