Sold

First french edition.
In his work L'Éther et la Théorie de la Relativité (Ether and the Theory of Relativity), Albert Einstein (1879-1955) addresses the concept of the ether, which dominated 19th-century physics, and explains how his theory of relativity replaced this notion. This book, based on a lecture delivered at Leiden University in 1920, is a key text for understanding the transition from classical to modern physics. The French translation by Maurice Solovine (1875-1958) enabled French-speaking scientists to grasp the implications of relativity.

Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944) was a British astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, professor of astronomy at the University of Cambridge, known for his work on general relativity and astrophysics. His work Nouveaux Sentiers de la Science (New Paths in Science) explores the most recent developments in physics and astronomy of the time. Translated by P. Guénard, this book is aimed at a broad, educated audience. It is a fascinating testament to the state of scientific knowledge in the 1930s, addressing topics such as cosmology, quantum mechanics, and the relationship between science and philosophy.

Joseph Bertrand (1822-1900) was a French mathematician, economist, and academician, a member of the Académie Française and permanent secretary of the Académie des Sciences. His work covers many fields, including number theory, mathematical physics, and probability theory. This book, dedicated to D'Alembert, is part of the "Great French Writers" collection, which aims to present leading figures in French thought and literature. Bertrand, as a prominent scholar of his time, was particularly qualified to address the work and life of Jean le Rond D'Alembert (1717-1783), a mathematician, physicist, and philosopher of the Enlightenment, co-editor of the Encyclopédie.

Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752-1833) was a distinguished French mathematician, a member of the Institut and the Legion of Honour, as well as the Royal Society of London. His contributions were major in number theory, analysis (Legandre functions, Legendre transform), and geometry. His "Elements of Geometry" was an international reference textbook, rivaling Euclid's "Elements" in its clarity and rigor.

SECCHI, P. Angelo.

L'Unité des forces physiques. Essai de philosophie naturelle.

More Details >

35 €

Father Angelo Secchi (1818-1877) was an Italian Jesuit, director of the Rome Observatory, and a renowned astronomer and physicist, corresponding member of the Institute of France. His work L'Unité des forces physiques (The Unity of Physical Forces) is an essay on natural philosophy that explores the concept of unity and interconnectedness of the various forces known in physics at his time. Secchi, a pioneer in stellar spectroscopy, sought to establish a unified vision of the physical world, a central theme in 19th-century science. This second, revised and considerably augmented edition, published based on Dr. Deleschamps' Italian translation, demonstrates the interest in his ideas in France.
