[This copy bears the signature stamp (in 5 places) of Professor Walter Kauzmann of Princeton University. Kauzmann's work on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in 1944-45 contributed to the successful development of the atomic bomb, nicknamed "Fat Man," which incinerated Nagasaki, and was soon followed by Japan's capitulation. It was in 1948 that Kauzmann's classic review of liquid supercooling and glass formation drew attention to temperatures at which entropies and enthalpies of liquid and crystal phases would appear to become equal. The collection of such "Kauzmann temperatures" produced characteristic curves in the temperature-pressure (T, p) plane. Professor Kauzmann was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1966]. Bound in the original green cloth. Complete with dust jacket.. Fourth Edition. Hardcover.
