Description
Braunschweig: Druck und Verlag von Friedr Vieweg and Son, 1916. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST PRINTING IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS OF ONE OF EINSTEIN'S MAJOR WORKS: HIS FIRST PAPER ON THE DERIVATION OF PLANK'S LAW AND PROVIDING THE THEORETICAL BASIS FOR THE LASER. "Einstein commended the 'unparalleled boldness' of Planck's derivation of 1900, meaning not only the problem itself but also the fact that it was based on assumptions that were not entirely free of contradictions. Einstein now succeeded in the first of two papers in eliminating that flaw. More interesting than the derivation itself was the general character of his methods. Einstein proceeded from Niels Bohr's basic--and by then well tested--assumption that the electrons within an atom occupy a number of discrete energy states, and are able, through emission or absorption of radiation, to pass from one of those states to another. Added to this was an assumption of thermodynamic equilibrium between radiation field and atom, as well as a consideration of the 'classical' limiting case at high temperatures--and there was Planck's formula. This brief argument... also covers emission stimulated by the radiation field; thus the formulas already, by implication, contain the theory of the laser, though it was to take nearly half a century to be realized" (Folsing, Albert Einstein, 389). Weil *85. The "implication" containing the theory of the laser was more fully developed in his companion paper "On the Quantum Theory of Radiation" published a few weeks later. In the first paper, Einstein wrestled with the concept that the atomic emission of radiation could be a directed process; in the second paper he convincingly demonstrates that this is indeed the case. IN: Verhandl. D. Deutch. Phys. Ges., Vol 18, pp. 318-323. Braunschweig: Druck und Verlag von Friedr. Vieweg and Son, 1916. Octavo, original wrappers; housed in custom half leather chemise.

Description
New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1978. First Edition. Portfolio. Light glossy card stock. Near Fine. Portfolio contains eleven quintessential Avedon photos from the late forties and fifties, all black and white, a few of which are among his more famous, widely recognized, images. The models were among the most famous of the day, and ones Avedon worked with repeatedly. They were all the supermodels of the day, before the term was coined: Dorian Leigh, her younger sister, Suzy Parker, who parlayed her modeling career into movie stardom, Elise Daniels, Carmen (dell-Orefice), and Renee. Also among the photos is one of Marlene Dietrich, wearing a turban, lighting a cigarette. One of The striking aspects of the photos is how virtually all of them suggest movement, and none look the least bit posed. The models are not mere mannequins, in other words, but in some sense, acting. Also one intro leaf very briefly describing the content -- all the photos were taken in Paris, how to order the larger book, etc. Issued in conjunction with a 1978 retrospective of Avedon's work at the Metropolitan Museum. The leaves are each 25 by 20 cm, on the same glossy light card leaf as the portfolio housing them, which has a shallow flap to hold the leaves within. Other than a few light finger smudges on the cover, this is a fine copy.
