First edition.
This collective work is the proceedings of the Fourth International Synthesis Week, organized by the "Fondation pour la Science" and the "Centre International de Synthèse" in 1935. It brings together presentations and discussions by major figures in physics and philosophy of the time, including Abel Rey (professor at the Sorbonne), E. Bauer (deputy director of the Physics Laboratory at the Collège de France), Louis de Broglie (professor at the Sorbonne and Nobel laureate in physics), Charles Serrus (professor at Lycée Louis-le-Grand), and Léon Brunschvicg (professor at the Sorbonne). The theme, L'évolution de la physique et la philosophie (The Evolution of Physics and Philosophy), reflects the profound epistemological questions raised by the scientific revolutions of the early 20th century (relativity, quantum mechanics) and their philosophical implications. It is an essential document for the history of scientific and philosophical ideas during the interwar period.

Book promoting the use of the metric system in Switzerland. If Switzerland received in 1801 a copy of the standard meter deposited in Paris, the metric system took several decades to be adopted in all the cantons of the confederation.

"Besides the description that my book gives of the new and old measures of Paris, it can also be considered as a complete treatise of three kinds of measures; namely, those of Neuchâtel, Bern and Lausanne: these neighboring countries will doubtless also adopt under little this system, which has simplicity as its basis" (excerpt from the preface)

First edition.
Pierre Polinière is considered the founder of experimental physics in France. After studying mathematics with Pierre Varignon (1654 – 1722), Polinière opened a physics course at the college of Harcourt, it was one of the first public courses given in Paris. His public demonstration sessions were very successful and did much to disseminate the scientific method of experimental research. His experiments were very popular and, among the spectators, we found all of Paris, and even the young Louis XV in 1722.
In 1706 during an experiment before the Academy of Sciences, Polinière discovered electroluminescence. This discovery is contemporary but independent of that of Hauksbee in London.
The protocol of the experiment is described here in the chapter “Phosphorus through Movement”.

First edition.
This volume, published by the French Physical Society, collects lectures given in 1912 by scientific luminaries of the time, including Marie Curie (Nobel laureate), Henri Poincaré (universal mathematician and physicist), Jean Perrin (future Nobel laureate), and Paul Langevin.
The lectures present cutting-edge theories on the atom, electrons, radioactivity, and the properties of matter, at a pivotal moment before the full advent of quantum mechanics.

Second edition.
Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) was a French mathematician, physicist, engineer, and philosopher of science, a member of the Institute, considered one of the last "universalists." His Thermodynamique (Thermodynamics), derived from his lectures at the Faculty of Sciences of Paris and edited by J. Blondin, is a fundamental text in mathematical physics. Poincaré presents the principles of thermodynamics with his characteristic rigor, addressing the laws of heat, energy, and entropy. This work is essential for understanding the state of thermodynamics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a crucial period for the development of physics.

First edition.
Offprint of this very interesting article on epistemology by Henri Poincaré in which he analyzes the relationship between the mathematical laws of physics and the data of experience: When should one be right in one and wrong in the other?
In this report which was presented to the International Congress of Physics in 1900, Poincaré discusses there in particular at the end of the text the Lorentz equations which make it possible to analyze certain physical facts but not all, which will be decided by Einstein a few years later with his special theory of relativity.
This debate is still an issue for modern physics about dark matter, should we change physical theories or improve our measurement capabilities?.
