First German appearance, published five month later same year as the Swedish original, on the theory of electrolytic dissociation.""Through the influence of Edlund, Arrhenius received a travel grant from the Swedish Academy of Sciences which made it possible for him to work in the laboratories of Ostwald in Riga (later in Leipzig), Kohlrausch in Würzburg, Ludwig Boltzmann in Graz, and van't Hoff in Amsterdam. During these Wanderjahre (1886-1890), he further developed the theory of electrolytic dissociation. Arrhenius' theory was, however, slowly accepted at first, but because of neglect rather than active opposition. It was the enthusiasm and influence of Ostwald and van't Hoff that helped to make it widely known. In 1887 Arrhenius met Walther Nernst in Kohlrausch's laboratory. There, too, he carried out an important investigation on the action of light on the electrolytic conductivity of the silver salts of the halogens.""Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a prominent chemist and one of the founders of the science of physical chemistry. He was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the pioneering work which he had done in his famous dissertation on electrolytic conductivity ('Recherches sur la conductivité galvanique des électrolytes', 1884). However Arrhenius is becoming increasingly more known for his discovery of the greenhouse effect and its influence on global temperature.Papers from this supplement series to the 'Proceedings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' are often mistakenly identified as offprints or 'first seperate edition' (indicating the existence of a jounal edition) because they have their own title page with the publishers named and their own pagination, but they are not - all publications from this series were printed seperatley in this way and issued with wrappers.
Paris, Ch. Béranger, 1910, in-8, [6]-IX-246 pp, Percaline verte de l'éditeur, Première édition de la traduction française, donnée par T. Seyrig sur le texte original suédois (Världarnas utveckling. Stockholm, Geber, 1906). Dans ce travail de cosmogonie pionnier, Svante August Arrhenius (1859-1927), Nobel de chimie en 1903, prévoit la hausse des températures sur terre en raison de l'activité humaine et expose sa théorie de la panspermie. À la suite de Fourrier, le Arrhenius aborde la question des températures du globe terrestre et des espaces planétaires. Il établit la théorie de la "serre chaude", en démontrant le rôle de la vapeur d'eau dans l'absorption des radiations terrestres, ce qui le conduit à une réflexion sur l'action humaine dans ce processus; la croissance rapide de consommation de houille, ainsi que les phénomènes volcaniques, devraient conduire à l'augmentation de la teneur atmosphérique en gaz carbonique et donc à la hausse de la température sur terre. Il considère ce fait avec optimisme: "Par la suite de l'augmentation de l'acide carbonique dans l'air, il nous est permis d'espérer des périodes qui offriront au genre humain des températures plus égales et des conditions climatiques plus douces (...). Ces périodes permettront au sol de produire des récoltes considérablement plus fortes qu'aujourd'hui, pour le bien d'une population qui semble en voie d'accroissement plus rapidement que jamais" (p. 69). Arrhenius démontre ensuite la panspermie, théorie qu'il avait préalablement exposée en 1903, afin d'expliquer les origines de la vie sur terre par "contamination" extraterrestre, soit par la propagation de spores poussés dans l'espace par la pression de radiation du Soleil ou véhiculées par des astéroïdes. Arrhenius obtint son doctorat en 1884 avec son mémoire sur la conductibilité galvanique des électrolytes, recherches qui lui vaudront son prix Nobel. Il s'est intéressé à l'influence de l'acide carbonique dès 1896, afin d'expliquer l'apparition des périodes glaciaires et d'autres changements climatiques ("On the influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air Upon the Temperature of the Ground" (London, Edinburgh and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, Avril 1896).

PREMIERE EDITION de cet ouvrage divisé en deux parties: conductibilté des solutions aqueuses extrêmement diluées déterminées au moyen du dépolarisateur; théorie chimique des électrolytes. Ce mémoire permit à Svante August Arrhenius (1859-1927) d'obtenir son doctorat en 1884, et lui vaudra plus tard le prix Nobel de chimie (1903). Il annonce en effet sa théorie de la dissociation, selon laquelle les composés chimiques en solution dans une solution électrolytique (conductrice de charges électriques) sont dissociés en ions, et ce même en l'absence de courant électrique traversant dans la solution. 56 hypothèses sont présentées et discutées dans sa thèse dont la plupart sont encore acceptées aujourd'hui. Arrhenius émet l'idée que ni les sels purs ni l'eau pure ne sont conducteurs, mais qu'une solution de sels l'est. Pour l'auteur, le sel se dissocie en particules chargées (que Faraday avait nommé « ions » quelques années avant) lors de sa dissolution. Sa théorie, d'abord mal reçue par la communauté scientifique, constitue un des piliers de la chimie physique et de l'électrochimie modernes Couverture rigide

First edition of Arrhenius very first published work. ""After attending the Cathedral School in Uppsala, Arrhenius entered the University of Uppsala at the age of seventeen. He studied mathematics, chemistry, and physics, and passed the candidate's examination in 1878. Arrhenius chose physics as the principal subject for his doctoral study, but he was not satisfied with his chief instructor, Tobias Robert Thalén, Although Thalén was an eminent and competent experimental physicist and lecturer, he was interested only in spectral analysis. Arrhenius went to Stockholm in 1881 with the intention of working under Erik Edlund, physicist of the Swedish Academy of Sciences.

First printing of Arrhenius's paper on northern lights (aurora). he auroral theory was based on radiation pressure of electromagnetic waves and eruptions from the sun. He proposed that during great eruptions on the sun, large quantities of matter, in the form of droplets or dust, are ejected in a radial direction from the sunspots and are pushed out from the sun by radiation pressure. With this theory Arrhenius could explain the high correlation existing between occurence of the northern lights and sunspot activity.
