‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE -- 2 TOMES reliés en un volume (COMPLETE SET) ---- "THE BIBLE OF ATOMIC PHYSICS". (DSB) ---- "In 1913, Niels Bohr's published his first paper on the "Constitution of Atoms and molecules". Sommerfeld studied the paper immediately and announced to Bohr's that he would like to try apply his model to the Zeeman effect... It was only in spring 1916 that Sommerfeld found the definitive formulation of his quantization rules yielding a quantum theory of the normal Zeeman effect and, in the hands of his student Paul S. Epstein, of the Stark effect... This extraordinary extension, enrichment and precision of Bohr's theory by Sommerfeld contributed decisively to its rapid and widespread acceptance. Only five years after Bohr's first publication Sommerfeld, recongnizing that the mathematical model had reached a conclusion of sorts, undertook a comprehensive exposition of the field. His Atombau und Spektrallinien (en français La constitution de l'atome et les raies spectrales), of which the first edition appeared late in 1919, immediately became the bible of atomic physics and its successive editions, appearing almost annually in the early 1920's, chronicled the progress of this field up to the eve of the introduction of quantum mechanics...".
