‎First appearance of Sommerfeld's elaborated version of the fine structure of the hydrogen atom, in which he was the first to show, that relativity theory gives a quantitative account of the fine structure, and thus creating a general theory of spectral lines based on the quantum concepts.""Sommerfeld's two papers...and a more elaborate version (the paper offered)...surely deserves a lenghty chapter in the history of the old quantum theory...""Pais, Bohr p. 186 ff).""This extraordinary extension, enrichment, and precision of Bohr’s theory by Sommerfed contributed decisively to its rapid and widespread acceptance. Only five years after Bohr’s first publication Sommerfeld, recognizing that the mathematical development of this quantum-theoretical atomic model had reached a conclusion of sorts, undertook a comprehensive exposition of the field. HisAtombau and Spektallinien, 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.""(DSB). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1916 P.The volume contains other notable papers by Paul S.

‎La voie des quatre vertus. Voie du thé. Expérience d'un itinéraire spirituel.‎

‎Appremont: La table d'émeraude, 2005 in-8 broché, bon état. Résumé: " Le thé n'est rien d'autre que ceci : faire chauffer de l'eau, préparer le thé et le boire convenablement ". Ainsi s'exprime Sen Rikyu, grand Maître de Thé du XVIe siècle, et ancêtre des Grands maîtres de la prestigieuse école Urasenke du Japon. Ce précepte est d'une déroutante simplicité, mais c'est dans la recherche de cette vraie simplicité que réside toute la difficulté de la Voie du Thé. Entrer dans cette Voie, c'est obliger le disciple à retrouver son être profond et c'est mettre en œuvre à l'intérieur de lui les quatre vertus qui sont l'essence même du Thé : Harmonie, respect, pureté et sérénité dans l'activité. Ce sont ces quatre vertus que le disciple doit acquérir et intégrer en lui, non seulement lors d'une cérémonie du thé, mais dans sa vie de tous les jours. La Voie du thé est une ascèse dans laquelle l'exécution du geste juste dans une attitude corporelle juste entraîne une pensée juste et un cœur pacifié ; par cette Voie, le disciple append peu à peu à contrôler et rééquilibrer ses énergies physiques, émotives et psychiques afin de laisser son être intérieur s'ouvrir aux énergies spirituelles. Initiée en 1965 lors d'un long voyage au Japon par un maître de l'école Urasenke, l'auteur, de retour à Paris est devenue disciple fervente du Thé. Cet ouvrage est le récit de son expérience tout au long de son cheminement dans cette Voie. "‎

‎First printing of South's second large star catalogue of the distances and positions of double and triple stars.""Double stars, essentially discovered by Wiiliam Herschel, were of great interest throughout the nineteenth century—new ones being found and position measurements made more precise with each improvement in telescope construction. South, working with John Herschel during the years 1821–1823. reobserved the double stars charted originally by William Herschel, mainly for the purpose of detecting position changes. Their observations helped verify the newly recognized orbital motion of these neighboring stars. Their resulting catalog of 380 double stars, presented to the Royal Society in 1824, earned them the gold medal of the Astronomical Society and the grand prize of the Institut de France. For his second catalog of double stars, two years later, South was awarded the Copley Medal of the Royal Society.""(DSB).‎

‎James South "" fitted up an observatory attached to his house in Blackman Street, Borough, with two equatoreals of respectively five and seven feet focal length, besides a first-rate transit instrument by Troughton Here he observed, jointly with John Frederick William Herschel, 380 double stars. In presenting him with the gold medal of the Astronomical Society in 1826, Francis Baily spoke of his ‘princely collection of instruments, such as have never yet fallen to the lot of a private individual’. In 1835 South removed his five-foot telescope to Passy, near Paris, where he came to know Humboldt and Arago, and convinced Laplace of the reality of revolving stars by ocular demonstration in the case of 70 Ophiuchi. He executed there in a few months what Herschel called ‘a noble series of measures’ on 458 compound stars, of which 160 were new " and for these labours, together with his paper ‘On the Discordances between the Sun's observed and computed Right Ascensions,’ presented to the Royal Society on 8 June 1826 (the paper offered), was awarded the Copley medal in 1826. He was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1821.‎

‎Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997 Pictorial softcover, 175 x 230mm., 259pp., b/w illustration. ISBN 9780262692106.‎

‎Building on the arguments of her previous books, Body Criticism (MIT Press, 1991) and Artful Science (MIT Press, 1994), Good Looking challenges the reflexive identification of images with vice. Today rampant criticism, both inside and outside the academy, condemns the immoralities of aesthetic illusion, museum display, cable television, and hypermedia. Believing with the American pragmatists that it is harder to do than to denounce, Barbara Stafford urges imagists to abandon Foucault's bankrupt paradigm of verbal combat. Instead of more "improving" theoretical discourse, she calls for developing a positive visual praxis on the interpretive ruins of linguistic postmodernism. Organized around three major themes?the explosion of optical information, the urgency of inventing an imaging interdiscipline, and the ethical dilemmas of technological transparency?these twelve essays connect a disappearing lens culture to the digital diaphanousness of the twenty-first century. Book is in good condition.‎

‎Making of Christianities in History. A Processing Approach‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 248 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503587813.‎

‎Summary There has been a major trend among social scientists and historians to assume that the history of modernity can be studied without taking into consideration religion as an important factor. This in contrast to premodern societies in which religion would have played such a predominant and all-embracing role that a total symbiosis between religion and society would have existed. Both of these views are challenged by the authors of this volume. They claim that neither of them does justice to the complexity of the relationship between society and religion. They propose a theoretical framework that fully addresses this complexity by focussing on the variegated active ways in which religious agents (groups and individuals) process(ed) their societal and religious contexts in the modern era as well as in the premodern period. Viewed from this perspective, the history of Christianity appears as the heterogeneous result of an ongoing and unceasing selective processing by all Christians - and non-Christians - of their environment. The application of this new theoretical and methodological framework sheds light - often in a surprising and unexpected way - on various processes in the history of Christianity: the conflict-ridden parting of the ways between Jews and Christians; the emergence and development of early Christian rituals; the formation of a Cathar Counter- Church; the emergence of new forms of Christianity in North America; the complicated and ambiguous evolution of Roman Catholicism in modernity.
