Princeton, New Jersey:: D Van Nostrand Company, 1961.. 1st Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: cloth binding, red on the bottom portion and black on top; silver text; owner's name on the front endpaper; this is massively underlined in red pencil up to page 156 (not on all pages, not many), it seems to be clear of underlining after that. The markings do not obstruct the text.; otherwise in Good condition, with a Good dust jacket.. 8vo (about 9.25 inches tall) . Index. Description: The publisher's blurb reads: ''Radical differences between new concepts of the physical world and their classical counterparts are emphasized in this book -- a rare combination of historical and philosophical understanding with a firm grasp of modern physics.'' (Remember this was written in 1961.) At the time of this writing the author was Professor of Philosophy at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. The author blurb tells us that Capek twice has his academic career interrupted -- first in 1939 by the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia and again in 1948 by the Communist coup d-etat. Capek had returned to his native country, but eventually had to flee and take up permanent residence in the United States. A note about the dust jacket: it seems there were two distinctively different jackets issued for this book (one blue with white graphics, and one red and black), and I do not know which is the first state. However, it seems to me that this one -- the red and black is clearly designed to complement the book design -- the jacket is about half and half red and black with the red on top, and the book about half and half red and black with the red on bottom.
