Rare near good, intact first edition. Gustave Le Bon was a member of the Royal Academy of Belgium. In this volume, he explores the nature of energy and matter, proposing that all matter is in a constant state of dissociation and decay. He emphasizes the idea that atoms are great reservoirs of energy, which revolutionized our understanding of the universe if harnessed effectively and was further developed and popularized by Albert Einstein. In L'Évolution de la Matière (1905) ("The Evolution of Matter"), Le Bon anticipated the massenergy equivalence, and in a 1922 letter to Albert Einstein complained about his lack of recognition. Einstein conceded that a massenergy equivalence had been proposed before himself, but only the theory of relativity had cogently proved it. Gaston Moch gave Le Bon credit for anticipating Einstein's theory of relativity. In this book, L'Évolution des Forces (1907), Le Bon prophesied the Atomic Age. He wrote about "the manifestation of a new forcenamely intra-atomic energywhich surpasses all others by its colossal magnitude," and stated that a scientist who discovered a way to dissociate rapidly one gram of any metal would "not witness the results of his experiments ."
