London, 1807. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Journal extract from: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London for the Year 1806, Vol. 97, Part One, published 1807. Slim 4to, pp. 1-56. Volume title, plus engraved plate at rear, some spotting, recent blue buckram gilt. ---- Sparrow 52, PMM 255 (remark) - Davy found that when he passed electrical current through some substances, these substances decomposed, (a process later called electrolysis). Davy must have known of Lavoisier's suggestion that the alkali earths were s of unknown metals. At first, he tried to separate the metals by electrolyzing aqueous solutions of the alkalis, but this yielded only hydrogen gas. He then tried passing current through molten compounds, and his persistence was rewarded when he was able to separate globules of pure metal by this means. His first successes came in 1807 with the separation of potassium from molten potash and of… Read More

It remained to Bohr and Fermi to apply fission to the making of the atomic bomb, a project with which neither Hahn nor Strassmann had any involvement. Hahn was awarded the 1944… Read More

Description:
Braunschweig: Friedrich Vieweg & Sohn, 1876. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. In: Populäre Wissenschaftliche Vorträge, drittes Heft. Braunschweig: Friedrich Vieweg & Sohn, 1876. 8vo (213 x 136 mm), vii, [3], 139 [1]; [1], vi-xxv, [2], 582-598 pp. Simple card boards, cloth backed spine, hand-lettered paper label (spine worn, label chipped). Text somewhat browned and with occasional foxing (stronger to first pages including title). ---- The lecture was Hermann Helmholtz's farewell lecture in Heidelberg in 1871. He presented Immanuel Kant's and Pierre-Simon Laplace's independently developed hypothesis that the solar system was created through the attraction and repulsion of matter. As proof of the similarity of matter between the sun and the earth, he refers to the results of the spectral analysis developed by Robert W. Bunsen and Gustav R. Kirchhoff in Heidelberg in 1860.
