"Karl Weissenberg (11 June 1893, Vienna - 6 April 1976, The Hague) was an Austrian physicist, notable for his contributions to rheology and crystallography. The Weissenberg effect was named after him, as was the Weissenberg number. He invented a Goniometer to study X-ray diffraction of crystals for which he received the Duddell Medal of the Institute of Physics in 1946, The European Society of Rheology offers a Weissenberg award in his honour. and the Weissenberg rheogoniometer, a type of rheometer. He was born on 11 June 1893 in Vienna, Austria and died in 1976 in the Netherlands. He studied at the Universities of Vienna, Berlin and Jena with Mathematics as his main subject. He published on the theories of Symmetry groups and Tensor and Matrix… Read More

Original printed wrappers. Fine. Very rare. An important early work by the two-time Nobel prize winner. Linus Pauling was one the twentieth century's greatest chemists, and his efforts culminated in the 1954 Nobel Prize for chemistry for his research on the nature of the chemical bond. His second Nobel Prize came in 1963 for his tireless efforts in the name of peace.

Paris:: V. Courcier, 1821., 1821. THIRD EDITION. Two volumes. 8vo. [2], lxii, 510, [2]; [2], 452, [2] pp. 6; 12 engraved folding plates; scattered foxing, not affecting legibility. Later quarter gilt-stamped calf over beige paper-backed boards, green place-keeping ribbons. Near fine. Hauy (1743-1822) was a renowned French crystallographer and mineralogist who "worked primarily in descriptive, physical, and theoretical mineralogy." He expanded d'Isle's studies on various forms of the same crystal species, concluding that "the primitive form of crystals of a certain species results as a nucleus from the cleavage of all their secondary forms." Essentially, "his crystal theory is fundamentally static and mathematical. . . [and] is at the base of the modern lattice theory developed by Delafosse, Bravais, Sohncke, Fyodorov, and Schonflies" (DSB, Vol. VI, 179-80). In terms of physics, Hauy's contribution consisted of his "researches on double refraction in crystals (especially tourmaline and boracites),… Read More
