Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1978. A near Fine unmarked copy with Very Good+ price clipped dustjacket. The book by the Canadian astrophysicist is addressed to those whose research demands more than a cursory knowledge of interstellar dust. For the uninitiated, either beginning graduate students or experienced physicists and chemists, a wide ranging view of the available observational techniques, results, and their interpretation is provided. Selected phenomena are examined in detail and finally a synthesis of present ideas is undertaken in an attempt to establish a framework within which new research and applications can be formulated and approved. **** NOT EX LIB **** 14. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

97 - 127 Seiten. Die Monatsschrift "Esra" erstrebte, wie es in einer Ankündigung heißt, "die Verknüpfung des jüdischen Intellektuellen mit der Entwicklung und mit dem Geschehen seines Volkes". "Esra" verstand sich als Forum zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Leistungen des offiziellen Zionismus.

Die Zeitschrift stand der 'Jüdischen Renaissance' nahe und zielte darauf, vor allem den assimilierten Kreisen des Westjudentums genuin jüdische, vornehmlich osteuropäische Kulturtraditionen zu vermitteln.

"Few discoveries have been as dramatic as the discovery of argon in the atmosphere by Lord Rayleigh and William Ramsay, professor of chemistry at University College, London. The discovery of argon involved a bitter public dispute concerning the legitimacy of a chemical element whose most important characteristic was its inertness, and which forced the chemists to reassess the very notion of a chemical element." Rayleigh had begun work to determine the densities of atmospheric gases in 1882. In 1892 he uncovered a strange discrepancy between the atomic weight of… Read More
