Title: Two-body problem in general relativity theory"
Author: Einstein, Albert; Nathan Rosen.
Seller: Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Lancaster, PA: American Physical Society, 1 March 1936. Second series, volume 49, number 5. Very Good. ppl 341-422. Original green wraps. Slight nick at bottom edge of lower wrap, else better than very good. Includes the retort by Einstein and Rosen (originators of speculation on the existence of "worm-holes" in spacetime) to objections made to the general theory of relativity. According to Galina Weinstein: "Between 1935 and 1936, Einstein was occupied with the Schwarzschild solution and the singularity within it while working in Princeton on the unified field theory and with his assistant Nathan Rosen, on the theory of the Einstein-Rosen bridges. He was also occupied with quantum theory. He believed that quantum theory was an incomplete representation of real things. Together with Rosen and Boris Podolsky he invented the EPR paradox. I demonstrate that the two-body problem in general relativity was a heuristic guide in Einstein's and collaborators' 1935 work on the Einstein-Rosen bridge and EPR paradox." Also articles by notable physicists on radioactivity, electron mobility, quantum-mechanical measurement, and so on.

THE NAULAHKA: A Story of West and East by Kipling, Rudyard & Balestier, Wolcott

Title: THE NAULAHKA: A Story of West and East
Author: Kipling, Rudyard & Balestier, Wolcott
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1892. London: William Heinemann, 1892. 8 pp undated ads. Original salmon cloth decorated in brown. First Edition of Kipling's only serious attempt at literary collaboration. A Vermonter, Wolcott Balestier was an American author and publisher's agent in London; in fact in 1890 he and Heinemann had founded the Heinemann & Balestier publishing house in Leipzig (books in English for the Continental market). He had written about the American "Wild West," and Kipling of course had written about India. THE NAULAHKA (a misspelling of "naulakha," which in Hindu means nine lakhs, i.e. 900,000 rupees) is an odd tale that combines these two environments into "A Story of East and West" -- a man from a Western boom-town attempts to get possession of a fabulous jewel in India. In December 1891, six months before this was published, Balestier suddenly died (at age 29) of typhoid fever in Dresden. Kipling had met Wolcott's sister Carrie and just a month after Wolcott died, she became Kipling's wife; the Kiplings built their first home in Vermont and, in memory of her brother, named it "Naulakha" -- spelled correctly. (The newlywed Kiplings lived in Vermont for four years, toward the end of which Kipling wrote CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS about the Massachusetts fishing fleet; but it all came crashing down when Wolcott's brother Beatty was arrested for assaulting Kipling -- there was an altercation after Kipling had created a little garden on land he owned but had allowed Beatty to hay: the Kiplings fled to England.) This is an unusually clean copy, just about fine (a hint of rubbing at the spine ends); such condition is scarce for this book, in view of its soil-prone salmon-colored binding.
