About this Item

First Edition. [xv], 219, [1] pp; 74 figs.; 8 plates. Original cloth. Xlib: spine varnished, white ink number on spine and "Zeeman" underlined. Ink stamp on verso of title page. Else Very Good, without dust jacket. Scarce. "Zeeman is best remembered for his observations in 1896 of the magneto-optic phenomenon that almost immediately was named the Zeeman effect. Zeeman's initial observations were beautifully comprehended by H. A. Lorentz' electromagnetic theory, which also served to guide Zeeman in the very early refinement and extension of his discovery. As a result Zeeman and Lorentz shared the 1902 Nobel Prize for physics in recognition of their accomplishment and of the promise, since overwhelmingly fulfilled, of the Zeeman effect for contributing to the understanding of spectras and the particulate structure of matter. In Researches in Magneto-Optics (London, 1913) Zeeman discussed his own and others' contributions during this same period to Zeeman effect and closely related phenomena, and appended a very valuable bibliography" (D. S. B. 14: 597 and 599).
