Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. The Newer Alchemy: based on the Henry Sidgwick Memorial Lecture delivered at Newnham College, Cambridge, November 1936; by Lord Rutherford, O.M., F.R.S., Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics in the University of Cambridge; Cambridge at the University Press, 1937. From the Preface - Since the early days of Radioactivity, the problem of the transmutation of the elements has occupied much of my attention, and I have followed with the greatest of interest and enthusiasm the remarkable increase in our knowledge that has come so rapidly in the last few years. This advance has been largely due to the development of new and powerful methods of attack on this general problem. For this reason, I thought it of interest to add a brief account of the new apparatus and methods which are now in common use in many Laboratories throughout the world. Dated February 1937. (tragically Rutherford died in October 1937). Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson (1871 - 1937), was a New Zealand physicist and chemist who was a pioneering researcher in both atomic and nuclear physics. He has been described as "the father of nuclear physics". In 1908, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his investigations into the disintegration of the elements, and the chemistry of radioactive substances." Rutherford became Director of the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in 1919. Under his leadership, the neutron was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932. In the same year, the first controlled experiment to split the nucleus was performed by John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, working under his direction. In honour of his scientific advancements, Rutherford was recognised as a baron of the United Kingdom. After his death in 1937, he was buried in Westminster Abbey near Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton. The chemical element rutherfordium (104Rf) was named after him in 1997. In 1999, he was named the tenth greatest physicist of all time. His portrait has been on the New Zealand one hundred-dollar note since 1999. This book, 67 pages is in near-fine condition, in a very-good dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. +++Rutherford on Radiation, Brace on Ether-Drift, and the Kelvin Model of the Atom (1905)+++ The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine; London, Taylor & Francis, Volume X, Sixth Series, July-December 1905; vii, 712pp, with 13 plates (some folding). Bound in dark blue cloth, with very heavily (and professionally) reinforced hinges, making this thick book stout enough top be read held in one hand. There is a remnant of a call card and a library name on a slip of paper half-attached to the first page of the table of contents, though this is the only mark I can find showing the history of ownership of the book. This is a VERY GOOD copy of this volume.+++ There are many strong contributions in this volume relating to radioactivity, including: Ernest Rutherford, "On the Charge carried by the alpha- and beta-Rays of Radium", pp 193-208; these first two Rutherford papers referenced in Charles Bailey's "Early Atomic Models - From Mechanical to Quantum (1904-1913)" Ernest Rutherford, "On Slow transformation Products of Radium", pp 290-306. Ernest Rutherford, "On Some Properties of the alpha-Rays from Radium", pp 160-163. ("When Pierre and Marie Curie, with Gustave Bémont, announced later in 1898 the discovery of two new radioactive elements, polonium and radium, world scientific attention finally crystallized. Rutherford did not jump on this bandwagon.in fact, that his own work alone would have served the same purpose as radium in creating the science of radioactivity.for within a short time Rutherford, not Becquerel or the Curies, was the dominant figure in the field. He began by examining the Becquerel rays uranium. Indeed, until about 1904 the emissions received far more attention than the emitters. Passage of the radiation through foils revealed one type that was easily absorbed and another with greater penetrating ability; these Rutherford named alpha and beta, "for simplicity."--Dictionary of Scientific Biography, vol 12, pg 27. W. H. Bragg, R. Kleeman, "On the α particles of radium, and their loss of range in passing through various atoms and molecules", pp 318-340. (This is #75 / 100 top-cited articles in the Phil Mag from 1900-2106, and one of only 13 pre-1920 articles, and there being #9 in that subgroup.) D.B. Brace, "The Negative Results of Second and Third Order Tests of the "Aether Drift," and Possible First Order Methods", pp 71-80 (an early paper on the electrodynamics of moving bodies by Brace, who took his Ph.D. under von Helmholtz and was VP AAAS). "Rayleigh made experiments in which he failed to find the predicted effect, but his work was not quite accurate enough to be conclusive. Brace pointed this out and reconducted the investigation in his own laboratory, establishing beyond a doubt the absence of double refraction caused by movement of the refracting medium through the ether. This did not disprove the contraction hypothesis, but Brace at first believed that it did. Joseph Larmor showed that double refraction need not result from Lorentz contraction if matter is composed of electrically charged particles that contract in the same proportion as large bodies; he thus saved the Lorentz hypothesis and gave the electron its status as a fundamental particle of matter." DSB, vol 2, pg 383. Remarkable work especially considering that when he landed in Nebraska a few years earlier the physics lab had no equipment "whatsoever" and existed in part of a room in the chemistry dept. James Jeans, "On the Partition of Energy between Matter and Aether", pp 91-98; Joseph Larmor, "On he Constitution of Natural Radiation", pp 574-584; William H. Bragg, "On the Particles of Radium", pp 600-603; A.S. Eve, "On the Radioactive Matter Present in the Atmosphere", pp 98-113; H.C.

21pp., fourteen of them in 4to, and the other seven pages cut down. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper. Stapled together, with the first leaf detached. The article is complete but untitled. It is unattributed, but comes from the J. R. Gordon papers. A well-written and incisive piece, written from an insider's point of view. Gordon lays out his stall at the very start: 'Few people of our generation have influenced the life of it so profoundly as Lord Northcliffe. He was the incomparable journalist of our age. | There is not a single newspaper in Britain today which does not bear the impress of the revolutionary change he made in journalism. | That change was so tremendous that it is difficult now to measure it, although it took place 60 years ago.' From the first Gordon stresses his own personal connection with Northcliffe: 'What was he like? In youth and through most of the flaming creative, constructive years he was a[s] slim and as handsome in face as a man can ever hope to be. But when I came into association with him, in the final years, the bulk of his body seemed far too heavy for his legs. He walked with his head thrust forward so that he seemed to crouch. He stumped his legs down heavily as he moved. The over handsome face had become fleshy and coppery. The lustre had gone from his eyes. But the magnetism was still there. He was the incarnation of domination.' The account deals with Northcliffe's death, 'in the zenith of his power, [.] in a wooden hut which had been built in a few hours to give him air and isolation on the roof of is great house in Carlton Gardens'. Gordon's final assessment of his subject concludes: 'By freeing newspapers from control by political subsidies, he gave the controller of a newspaper potentially greater political power than anyone in a democracy had ever held before outside the government. He was not himself able to use that power too effectively. But it is there to be used. That problem he also bequeathed to the future.'.…
