in-8°, XII + 309 p., qqs. illustrations, reliure en toile originale. / BOUND COPY of the 2nd. edition. Two of Guye's major scientific works. The first editions were published in 1922 (in fact the work reproduces three articles published from 1917 to 1920) and in 1936 (six articles published from 1934 to 1936). The appendice contains the following titles: «Quelques réflexions sur la ?philosophie scientifique?» (1936), and «Un aperçu sur l'évolution de la pensée des physiciens» (1939).?Guye was a member of a distinguished Swiss family. With his older brother, Philippe-Auguste (1862-1922), he pioneered in investigating phenomena on the borderline between physics and chemistry. . Charles-Eugène became primarily a physicist. Interested in electro-magnetism and molecular size determinations, he gained recognition for his precise measurements of variation of the mass of electrons as a function of their velocity, and as director of physical laboratories at the university of Geneva. Together and separately, the two Guyes achieved distinction in their different disciplines by devising experimental means for analyzing interface phenomena in physical chemistry and chemical physics. The books that he published on the evolution of statistical thermodynamics and on reductionism in physics and biology show the breath of his interests and the vitality of his mind.? (DSB). ?Il y a donc dans cet ouvrage une riche substance, qui doit être pour le lecteur libre de tout esclavage intellectuel, et débarassé d'idées préconcues, une source inépuisable de réflexion et d'inspiration.?
