Offprint. Original wrappers. Very good. "The energy dependence of scattering and reaction cross sections at the threshold of a new channel with Coulomb forces is investigated. In the case of opposite charges an anomaly is found in which the average over the Coulomb bound state resonances below the threshold energy is discontinuously different from the limit from above. The resolution and precision necessary, however, make it very difficult to measure the phenomenon." :: abstract. Worked at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton before taking a position at Indiana University, where he stayed for the next 50 years. Author of a number of books, including From Clockwork to Crapshoot: A History of Physics.

"Ballard''s novels stand among the most visionary, provocative literature of the twentieth century, with his ominous predictions regarding the fate of Western culture and his insights into the dark psychopathology of the human race. This exhibition is a response to the enormous impact and enduring cultural significance of his work, following his death in spring 2009. Highlighting Ballard''s great passion for the surreal and his engagement with the artists of his own generation, Crash includes examples of his specific inspirations as well as works by contemporary artists who have, in turn, been inspired by his vision." -- publisher''s statement. Very Good / Fine. Light bumping of corners, otherwise Fine.
