"GIESEL, F. (FRIEDRICH OSKAR). - THE CONCENTRATION OF RADIUM AND POLONIUM.
Reference : 46000
(1899)
Einiges über die Verhalten des radioactiven Baryts und über Polonium. (+) Ueber die Ablenkbarkeit der Becquerelstrahlen im magnetischen Felde. (2 Papers).
Leipzig, J.H. Barth, 1899. Contemp. hcalf. Gilt spine. Slightly rubbed. Light wear to spine ends. In ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von G. Wiedemann."", Neue Folge Bd. 69. VIII,875 pp. and 8 plates. (Entire volume offered). Small stamp on title and verso of. Internally clean and fine. Giesel's papers: pp. 91-94 and pp. 834-836.
First edition of an early and importent paper in the study of radioactivity, explaining how to prepare radium compounds, and thus being the first to place preparations of pure radium bromide on the market.The second paper offered, contains the first proof that Becquerel rays could be deflected by a magnet.Giesel ""A past master at the art of extracting and preparing pure substances in phytochemistry, after the Curies’ 1898 discovery of polonium, he applied his craft to radiochemistry. By 1900 he had developed an improved method of fractional crystallization, producing a greater concentration of radium salts in a shorter time, by using bromide instead of chloride. One direct result of his highly influential efforts, by which pure radium bromide became commercially available for research, was the 1903 verification by William Ramsay and Frederick Soddy of the production of helium from radium. Giesel was the first to observe the decomposition of water by radium salts.""(DSB).When his close friends and nearby colleagues Julius Elster and Hans Geitel obtained inconclusive results regarding magnetic influence upon Becquerel rays, Giesel provided a key to these rays’ non-X-ray character by his decisive proof of their magnetic deflectability in October 1899.
"BECQUEREL, HENRI et P. (PIERRE) CURIE. - REPORTING PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RADIUM.
Reference : 47432
(1901)
Action physiologique des rayons du radium. (The physiological Actions of Radium Rays).
(Paris, Gauthier-Villars), 1901. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 132, No 22.. Pp. (1277-) 1375. (Entire issue offered). The paper: pp. 1289-1291.
First printing of a milestone paper in medical physiology as the report given of the physiological effects (radiactive burns) on his own arm lead directly to study the actions of radium on different diseases and its medical use in general. Radium's use gave promising results as it destroyed diseased cells, tumors and some cancers. The therapeutic method was to be called ""Curietherapy"".""The German scientists Walkhoff and Giesel announced in 1900 that the new substance had certain physiological effects" Pierre Curie at once applied the technique which seemed to him most practical. Indifferent to danger, he exposed his arm to the action of radium. To his joy, a lesion appeared. He watched over it, followed its evolution and, in a report to the Academy, phlegmatically described the symptoms observed (the offered paper).After the action of the rays, the skin became red over a surface of six square centimetres the appearance was that of a burn, but the skin was not painful, or barely so. At the end of several days the redness, without growing larger, began to increase in intensity on the twentieth day it formed scabs, and then a wound which was dressed with bandages" on the forty-second day the epidermis began to form again on the edges, working toward the centre, and fifty-two days after the action of the rays there was still a surface of one square centimetre in the condition of a wound, which assumed a greyish appearance indicating deeper mortification.""

Mon roman d'aventure : CRIMES POUR LE RADIUM
broché - 10,5x16 - 32 pp - 3ème trimestre 1953 - éditions J. FERENCZI et fils, Paris.collection " mon roman d'aventures ". n°257 - bon état , rare car le papier est trés fragile
mon Roman d'Aventures comptera 462 numéros de 1942 à 1957.destiné principalement aux lecteurs adolescents ou jeunes adultes, l'essentiel de la production relève de l'aventure colonialiste, d'exploration, d'action policière, d'espionnage ou de western.Toutefois, un nombre significatif de textes présente des arguments conjecturaux divisés en trois sous-genre : AVENTURES EXTRAORDINAIRES , FANTASTIQUE , SCIENCE FICTION. le prenier genre a la part belle mais la science fiction est bien représentée, le fantastique demeurant le parent pauvre.envoi possible d'un scan de la couverture ANTHROLOGIE HISTOIR PHILOSOPHIE LITTERATURE PARADES
