Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: On the Road
Author: Kerouac, Jack
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good +
Description: New York: The Viking Press, 1957. First edition. Very Good +/Very Good. A Very Good+ copy with the spine titles a bit rubbed, but internal contents generally clean. In a Very Good first issue jacket. Jacket with several small tape repairs to the verso, minor edgewear and creasing to the extremities and a small stain to the lower portion of the front flap. "It changed my life like it changed everyone else's," Bob Dylan said of On the Road. Jack Kerouac's classic roman à clef, published in 1957, was the defining work of the Beat generation. It follows the travels of Sal Paradise, a stand in for Kerouac himself, and is based on a series of journeys Kerouac took from 1947 to 1950. The work was typed up on a continuous "scroll" of sheets that Kerouac had taped together. On the Road appears on both Modern Library's list of the 100 best novels of the century and on the Time list of the 100 best English language novels from 1923-2005. "[I]ts publication is a historic occasion... the most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat,' and whose principal avatar he is" (contemporary New York Times review). Very Good + in Very Good dust jacket.

Title: The Quantum Theory of Radiation
Author: BOHR, NIELS; KRAMERS, HENDRIK ANTHONY; SLATER, JOHN CLARKE
Seller: The Manhattan Rare Book Company (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: London: Taylor and Francis. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. FIRST EDITION of Bohr, Kramers, and Clarke's influential paper that "contained drastic theoretical proposals concerning the interaction of light and matter." Printed simultaneously in German in Zeitschrift fur Physik. "After Kramers had succeeded in extending the scope of the correspondence argument to the theory of optical dispersion - thus rounding off a treatment of the interaction of atomic systems with radiation that accounted for all emission, absorption, and scattering processes - Bohr ventured to propose a systematic formulation of the whole theory, in which what he called the virtual character of the classical model was emphasized. In this he was aided by Kramers and a young American visitor, J. C. Slater, and the new theory was published in 1924 under the authorship of all three. The most striking feature of this remarkable paper, 'The Quantum Theory of Radiation,' was the renunciation of the classical form of causality in favor of a purely statistical description. Even the distribution of energy and momentum between the radiation field and the 'virtual oscillators' constituting the atomic systems was assumed to be statistical, the conservation laws being fulfilled only on the average. This was going too far: the paper was hardly in print before A. H. Compton and A. W. Simon had established by direct experiment the strict conservation of energy and momentum in an individual process of interaction between atom and radiation. Nevertheless, this short-lived attempt exerted a profound influence on the course of events; what remained after its failure was the conviction that the classical mode of description of the atomic processes had to be entirely relinquished" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). IN: The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, Vol. 47, No. 281, May 1924, pp. 785-802). London: Taylor and Francis, 1924. Octavo, original wrappers; custom box. The whole issue in original wrappers. Chips to wrappers spine, otherwise fine. RARE in original wrappers.
