‎La Photographie Transcendantale. Les êtres et les radiations de l'espace.‎

‎Librairie Nationale Paris S.D. (1911) In-8 ( 250 X 160 mm ) de VIII-153 pages, demi-percaline maroquinée fraise, dos lisse janséniste. Nombreuses photographies d'esprits dans et hors-texte. EDITION ORIGINALE peu courante de cet ouvrage publié par le Comité d'étude de la photographie transcendantale. Fondé par le pédagogue Emmanuel VAUCHEZ ( 1836-1926 ), ce comité avait pour but de promouvoir la recherche sur la photographie des esprits, et proposait, sous forme de fonds, un prix à quiconque découvrirait une technique permettrait de "photographier, à volonté et sans médium, les radiations et les êtres de l'espace" ( Pages VI-VII ). L'ouvrage cherche à démontrer cette possibilité à travers plusieurs études de cas richement illustrées de photographies: esprits matérialisés, phénomènes de lévitation, Rochas, le double de S. Trier, l'homme transparent, très curieuse photos de double, Katie King et Crookes etc... tampons de "La Société d'Etudes Psychiques de Nice" sur le faux-titre et le titre. Bon exemplaire.‎

‎First appearance of the six landmark papers in which Becquerel documents his discovery of Radio-activity, PROMPTING THE NUCLEAR AGE.Becquerel was an expert in fluorescence and phosphorescence, continuing the work of his father and grandfather. Follwing the discovery of X-rays by Röntgen, Bexquerel investigated fluorescent materials to see if they also emitted X-rays. He exposed a fluorescent uranium salt, pechblende, to light and then placed it on a wrapped photographic plate.He found that a faint image was left on the plate, which he believed was due to the pichblende emitting the light it had absorbed as a more penetrating radiation.. However, by chace, he left a sample that had not been exposed to light on top of a photographic plate in a drawer. he noticed that the photographic plate also had a a faint image of the pechblende. After several chemical tests he concluded that these ""Becquerel rays"" were a property of atoms. He had, by chace, discovered radio-activity and prompted thee beginning of the nuclear age. He shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 with Marie and Pierre Curie. The ""Becquerel Rays"" were later discovered to be a composite of three forms of emanation, distinguished by Rutherford as alpha, beta and gamma rays.Dibner: 163 (the later Mémoire from 1903) - PMM: 393 (1903- Mémoire) - Garrison & Morton: 2001 (only the first paper). - Magie ""A Sourve Book in Physics"" p. 610 ff. - Norman:157.‎

‎Des radiations cosmiques aux ondes humaines. ‎

‎ Paris, Editions Dangles, (1948). Un vol. au format in-8 (228 x 143 mm) de 214 pp., broché.‎

‎ L'ouvrage s'agrémente de quelques planches. ''Rattacher les radiations humaines, des choses, cérébrales, des ondes de la pensée à des modifications de l'état normal des individus constitue une nouvelle étape pour l'unification de la métapsychique générale en recherchant les liens subtils qui unissent et relient le corps à l'esprit, la matière à la pensée, et notre Moi à l'Univers.'' Légères marques d'usage affectant dos et plats. Très rares rousseurs dans le texte. Du reste, belle condition. ‎
