‎First printing of this landmark paper in particle physics, in which Kaufmann found that the cathode are negatively charged particles, that certain properties of the cathode rays are independent of the nature of the gas that they traverse, and determining the ratio e/m. (charge/mass)""To define the 'birth of an era' is perhaps best left for parlor games. Let me write of the BIRTH OF PARTICLE PHYSICS nevertheless, define it to take place in April 1897, and appoint Kaufmann and Thomson as keepers of the gate. Their respective experimental arrangements...are of comparable quality, their experimental results equally good.""(Pais ""Inward Bound"", p. 84.).""In 1897 three physicists, Weichert, Kaufmann, and Thomson, in independent experiments, found that cathode rays are indeed negatively charged particles having the peculiar property that the ratio of the mass and the charge of these particles is in the order of 1000 times smaller than for the lightest ion, the ion of the hydrogen. The term 'electron', which had previously been used to denote the 'elementary charge' , was soon adopted as the name of the new particle. The electron was the first of the later so-called 'elementary particles' to be discovered."" (Siegmund Brandt ""The Harvest of a Century"" No. 4 (p.16 ff.).‎

‎Robert de Gretham's Mirror is a collection of sixty sermons for Sundays and feast-days throughout the liturgical year. Originally composed in Anglo-Norman (c. 1250-1300), and later translated into Middle English, the texts was dedicated to 'Aline', a lady of high status whose literary tastes ran more towards romaunces & gestes than prayer books. In an attempt to remedy the situation, Gretham proposed that Aline read the Mirror instead. In it, Gretham argued, she would surely find material more profitable for the soul than stories of 'Tristrem [or] Gy of Warrewyk'. The question is this: did Aline find 'better' stories among the tales included in the Mirror? Through an analysis of Gretham's clerical discourse, Blumreich argues that the sermon exempla intended for Aline's spiritual improvement assert different, but not particularly better, virtues than what she might have gleaned from a romance, especially when these moral tales are considered from a feminist perspective.

‎subjects from history. III. The Constantine Series, Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard part XIII subjects from history. volume 3.‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2011 Hardback 400 pages ., 180 x 265 mm, Languages: English, ISBN 9781905375868.‎

‎In 1622, Rubens designed his second tapestry series, The Story of Constantine, for which he executed twelve oil sketches, all of which are currently preserved in public and private collections in America and Europe. Tapestries produced after the lost cartoons, which were in turn painted after the oil sketches, were woven in the tapestry factories in the faubourgs of Saint Marcel and Saint Germain in Paris. Based on new archival research and a critical examination of the literature on the Constantine series, this book firmly embeds the genesis, and iconographical and stylistic features of the set in its specific artistic, manufactural, and commercial matrix, and thus develops the first truly inclusive approach to Rubens's Story of Constantine. Analysis of the entrepreneurial strategy of Marc Comans and Francois de la Planche, directors of the factory in the faubourg of Saint Marcel, the correspondence between Rubens and Peiresc, the provenance of the twelve oil sketches, and the iconographical programme reveals that the series was not commissioned by the French king Louis XIII, as has long been believed, but by Comans and de la Planche. A close reading of Rubens?s primary literary source, Caesar Baronius?s Annales Ecclesiastici, shows that the artist must have intended the twelve scenes to hang in a sequence different from the generally accepted one, though seventeenth-century buyers and viewers could have seen and interpreted the Constantine series quite differently, as their view was distorted by the jumble of Constantinian legends and motifs that had lodged in the cultural memory of Latin Christianity. Finally, the book explores the area of tension between the set?s austere monumentality and highly sophisticated aesthetic, which was rooted in Rubens?s profound knowledge of classical and Renaissance art and in his earlier forays into the free and creative application of these sources, contemporary French and Brussels tapestry sets, and the pictorial and decorative qualities, possibilities and challenges inherent in the medium itself‎

‎Architectura Moderna ARCHMOD 5. This study focuses on change and continuity within the architecture of the Southern and Northern Low Countries from 1530 to 1700. Instead of looking at both regions separately and stressing the stylistic differences between the classicist North and the baroque South, the book establishes a new, common history of architecture for both parts of the Low Countries during the 17th century. Their reception of Antiquity in the guise of the Italian Renaissance, first introduced in Court circles in the early 16th century, constituted the common heritage on which they built after the political separation. The book also reassesses the position of Netherlandish architecture in the international debate on the Renaissance north of the Alps. ‎

‎First appearance of this milestone paper in organic chemistry in which he demonstrated the mutual linking together of carbon atoms, developed the idea of affinity units, later called ""valence bonds"", and thus making it possible to explain the formation of organic compounds containing large numbers of carbon atoms. This was ""the final step in the development of modern structural formulas for organic compounds..."" (Leicester & Klickstein, p. 417)""It was not till 1858 that a satisfactory theory of molecular constitution was advanced, simultaneously and independently, by thwo young chemists, Friedrich August Kekulé and Archibald Scott Couper. The theory of molecular constitution put foreward....by Couper and Kekulé rested on two main postulates, the quadriivalency of carbon,....and the capacity of the carbon atom for mutual linking or combining together to form a carbon ""chain"". By this hypothesis of the mutual linking together of carbon atoms - which waslater confirmed by experiment - it was possible to explain the formation of organic compounds containing a large number of carbon atoms. On the foundation of their postulates two postulates, moreover, (they) showed how the molecular constitution or mutual linking together of the atoms of a compound could be represented diagrammatically and the relstions between different compounds made readily intelligible. In his classic paper ""On a New Chemical Theory"" (the paper offered here in its first appearance) advanced beyond Kekulé by representing the constitutions of the compounds by means of GRAPHIC FORMULA in which, as at the present day, the valencies pf the atoms are represented by lines....his formulae are similar to those at present in use...""(Findlay pp. 34 ff)""The theory of Kekulé and Couper gave the chemists the means of solving the problems of chemical constitution"" and by means of the graphic or constitutional formulae it became possible to represent the molecular constitution of known compounds and to foresee the possible existence of isomeric compounds.""(Findlay).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1858 C. - Ostwald's Klassiker No. 183. - Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"", pp. 417-425. - Exhibition of First Editions of Epochal Achievements in the History of Science, Berkeley 1934.
