‎First appearance of Perrin's doctorial thesis, in which he definitly settled the question of the common nature of cathode rays and of the recently discovered X rays, showing them to be particles. The experiments prepared the way for J.J. Thomson's determination in 1897 of the charge-mass ratio of these particles, electrons. In 1896 Perrin won the Joule Prize of the Royal Society for his experiments on cathode rays and for his preliminary studies on Röntgen's X rays, these investigations formed the content of his thesis. Perrin received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1926 for this and other work on the discontinuous structure of matter, which put a definite end to the long struggle regarding the question of the physical reality of molecules.""During the 1890s he was attracted to the study of cathode rays, which Crookes had shown to be electrically charged. Even so, there remained controversy whether they were particles (as it seemed they would have to be if they were charged) or whether Crooke's observations were in error and they were actually a form of wave radiation. Perrin settled the matter for all in 1895 by showing that the radiation could be made to impart a large negative charge to a cylinder upon which they fell. The cathode rays must, therefore, consist of negatively-charged material, and must be particles rather than wave. J.J. Thomson was able to determine the mass of the particles and to show that they were much smaller than atoms.""(Asimov).The offered volume contains further notable papers. 14 Memoirs by Marcellin Berthelot.‎

‎First appearance of these 8 papers constituting Perrin's major work on the Brownian motion and establishing THE REALITY OF THE MOLECULAR-KINETIC VIEW OF MATTER. Perrin's experimental verification of molecular reality and his 'classical' verification of the statistical method was of great importece to the subsequent rise of the quantum revolution with the introduction of quantum mechanics. Perrin's experiments helped to confirm Einstein's analysis of the Brownian movements (1905), and calculated a value for Avogadro's numbers and thereby the size of atoms and molecules.Perrin was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, 1926 ""for his work on discontinuity in the structure of matter, and in particular for his discovery of the equilibrium of sedimentation"" ""The work for which Perrin is best known is his investigation of Brownian motion, the erratic movements performed by microscopic particles in suspension in a fluid, now interpreted as being caused by the continous, irregular bombardment of the particles by the molecules of the surrounding medium. Perrin thought that collodially suspended particles undergoing Brownian motion would distribute themselves vertically in a definite way at equilibrium. By counting small particles of gum resin suspended in water, Perrin found that their number decreased exponentially with increasing height. He proved that this variation follows from kinetic theory and that from it he could calculate a value for Avogadro's number. Since the size of a water molecule appeared in the equation for the vertical distribution of the brownian motion particles, for the first time the sizes of atoms and molecules could be calculated from actual observations. As henri Poincaré wrote: ""The brilliant determination of the number of atom (in a mole) made by Perrin has completed the triumph of atomism.... The atom of the chemists is now a reality.'

‎Der 1954 in Bombay geborene Kunstler zahlt zu den prominentesten Vertretern der British Sculpture. Bereits mit seinen ersten Skulpturen ? einfachen, auf dem Boden ruhenden Formen mit farbigen Pigmenten ? schuf der Kunstler ein uberaus vielgestaltiges Werk aus unterschiedlichen Materialien wie Stein, Stahl und Glas. Das abstrakt-poetische ?uvre des Turner-Preistragers beeindruckt durch seine Spiritualitat und Transzendenz, die ihre Wurzeln in der indischen Heimat des heute in London lebenden Kunstlers haben. Dieser Band stellt drei grosse Arbeiten aus Wachs vor, die der Bildhauer eigens fur die gleichnamige Ausstellung im MAK Wien entwickelt hat und mit denen er kunstlerisches Neuland betritt. Der Band dokumentiert diese Werkgruppe in einem Abbildungsteil ausfuhrlich. Ebenso werden erstmalig die Wachsarbeiten seit 1992 und das grafische Werk seit 1987 gemeinsam publiziert, um die Wechselwirkung zwischen Malerei und Bildhauerei im Werk Kapoors naher zu beleuchten. Erganzt wird dieser umfassende Einblick in das Schaffen des Kunstlers mit Essays, die das Werk kunst- und kulturhistorisch verorten.‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 726 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503593937.‎

‎Summary Peter the Chanter was a master at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in the late 12th century. Among his many works is The Abel Distinctions, an alphabetized collection that treats key words by 'distinguishing' their various symbolic meanings in accordance with the traditions of biblical exegesis. The work was innovative in form and deeply conservative in content. Of special use to preachers who would shape a sermon around such sets of distinctions, it also appealed in general to clerics and laity interested in biblical meaning and allegory. The Abel Distinctions may have been the first collection of its kind; it spawned dozens of imitators through the next two centuries and more. Its immense popularity and influence is indicated by its nearly ninety extant manuscripts. The source text of this volume appeared in Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis as Petrus Cantor, Distinctiones Abel (CC CM, 288-288A). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation.‎

‎Distinctiones Abel, I‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 550 pages, Size:155 x 245 mm, Illustrations:4 col., Languages: Latin, English. ISBN 9782503578057.‎

‎Summary Peter the Chanter's Distinctiones Abel displays the multiple senses of some eleven hundred biblical terms and arranges the terms in alphabetical order. Preserved in nearly ninety manuscript copies, it stands at the head of a series of similar aids for preachers and students of the Bible. Its immediate context is the practice of "distinguishing" the senses of terms in a biblical text as the backbone of a sermon, a novel practice employed by several masters of the late twelfth century, notably by Peter's colleague in Paris, Peter Comestor. The Distinctiones Abel was compiled in an age of organization and may be compared with such searchable reference works as Gratian's Decretum, the Glosa Ordinaria, the new Latin dictionaries, and Peter Lombard's Sentences. It is among the first scholarly works to use the alphabet as a technique of information retrieval. Only selections of the work have been printed before; this editio princeps will be of interest to intellectual historians and those interested in medieval biblical studies, homiletics, popular imagery, and allegory. The Introduction itself is a major work of scholarship in a new field. It includes a brief account of Peter the Chanter's life and work, a survey of the genre 'distinctiones,' an extensive desciption of the manuscripts, many of them treated in print for the first time, along with a thorough exposition of the sophisticated methodology of textual criticism employed.‎
