An Archive of Letters and 69 Signed Nobel Lectures in Physics, Chemistry, and Physiology or Medicine
Seller
Biblioctopus (United States)
Description
1994. First Edition. 69 Offprints, 1935–1994. Nobel lectures in the physical and biomedical sciences, spanning six decades of discovery from Harold Urey's 1935 address on the thermodynamic properties of deuterium to Philip Sharp's 1993 lecture on RNA splicing. 64 are signed by their authors, and 19 are accompanied by typed letters from the laureates, the majority discussing offprints. The great majority were assembled by the Los Angeles cardiologist Dr. Myron Prinzmetal, who corresponded directly with laureates across Europe and the Americas and received from many of them signed copies of their lectures together with substantive letters regarding their research. The Nobel lecture occupies a singular position in the literature of science: delivered in Stockholm in the immediate aftermath of the prize announcement, each one is a laureate's own considered account of work whose significance had just received the field's highest formal recognition, and the series as a whole constitutes an authoritative first-person record of the discoveries that defined twentieth-century physics, chemistry, and medicine. Represented here are the quantum revolution, the nuclear age, the antibiotic era, the elucidation of biological macromolecules, and the emergence of molecular biology, documented in the words of the scientists who made them. The majority are printed in the standard Stockholm format by Kungl. Boktryckeriet P.A. Norstedt & Söner, the official printers to the Nobel Foundation, and are in uniformly good to near fine condition. Among the more notable items are Fermi's 1938 lecture on artificial radioactivity produced by neutron bombardment, Hahn's lecture on nuclear fission, Stanley's lecture on the isolation of tobacco mosaic virus, Krebs on the citric acid cycle, Pauling on modern structural chemistry, and Shockley on the transistor; each a laureate's summation of work that had permanently altered its field. Individual papers fully described HERE.

Bernett Rare Books Inc (United States)
Description
A complete run in 41 issues of the irreverent Australian counterculture journal, under the editorial direction of Richard Neville with Peter Grose, Dean Letcher, Martin Sharp, and Richard Walsh, containing stories related to topics including abortion, chastity, censorship, homosexuality, police brutality, organized crime, the Vietnam War, religion, domestic and international politics, film, and literature, together with information on the social scene in Sydney, cultural calendars, letters, cartoons, poetry, crossword puzzles, and satire and humor. Illustrated throughout. Some scattered pen or pencil notations, minor soiling. 4to. Orig. illustrated wrpps. Sydney 1963-1969. The first issue of Oz came out on April Fools' Day 1963, and was an immediate sensation, selling 6,000 copies by lunchtime. Although Oz was first published in Sydney, a second, better-known version appeared in London from 1967 to 1973, also founded by Richard Neville. While the Australian version was more satirical in nature, the British version was more psychedelic and in-tune with the hippie culture in London at the time. However, both versions were the subject of obscenity trials during their publications, with the Australian version being cited twice and the British version cited once, very famously, in what was at the time the longest obscenity trial in British legal history. The Sydney publication is very scarce; as of May 2025, OCLC locates only 6 holdings in the United States.
