Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,, 1930. An overview of the field from one of its leading laboratories First edition, first impression. This book updates Rutherford's earlier work, Radioactive Substances and their Radiations, and includes an account of the "very rapid growth of our knowledge of the transformations of radioactive substances" since the former book was published in 1913 (Preface). A pioneer of nuclear physics, Rutherford (1871-1937) is best known for identifying the structure of the atom. This work builds on his research while Director of the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, the foremost physics laboratory in the world at the time. Chadwick (1891-1974), his former student, co-directed the laboratory, and Ellis (1895-1980) was employed there as a researcher. Provenance: with the ownership inscription "R. Cockburn, August 1946, AERE" on the front free endpaper. A physicist, Robert Cockburn (1909-1994) joined the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell in 1945 after working… Read More

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1930. First edition. Very Good. FIRST EDITIONS OF RUTHERFORD'S SEMINAL TEXTS ON RADIOACTIVITY; FROM THE WORKING LIBRARY OF JOHN COCKCROFT. Nobel laureate Ernest Rutherford won the 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work on radioactivity, work introduced to the world in the present first editions of Radio-Activity (1904) and Radiations from Radioactive Substances (1930). It was this research that was later extended by his research assistant John Cockcroft, who himself received the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for artificially accelerating atomic particles and splitting the atom. When Winston Churchill, having visited MIT in the US after stepping down from the political arena, envisaged a new science-centric research centre for the UK, one individual stood out as an obvious choice to lead the new college in its formative years. Sir John Cockcroft was appointed by the Crown as the first Master of Churchill College, Cambridge - a new constituent of… Read More
