Rare original program invitation from the 1975 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting Program. Octavo, original wrappers. Signed by 11 Nobel Laureates in Physics or Medicine, including: Julius Axelrod, Adolf Butenandt, Gerald Edelman, Ernst Otto Fischer, Werner Forssmann, Alfred Hershey, Bernard Katz, Feodor Lynen, Rudolf MÃ ssbauer, Severo Ochoa, and Lars Onsager. In fine condition. The triennial Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have been held in Lindau, Bavaria, Germany, since 1951 with the aim of fostering exchange between Nobel Laureates and young scientists. The meetings focus alternately on physiology and medicine, physics, and chemistry â" the three natural science Nobel Prize disciplines. An interdisciplinary meeting revolving around all three natural sciences is held every five years. In addition, the Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences is held every three years with recipients of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

[++] "Professor Lars Onsager has been awarded this year's Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the discovery of the reciprocal relations, named after him, and basic to irreversible thermodynamics. Onsager's reciprocal relations can be described as a universal natural law, the scope and importance of which becomes clear only after being put in proper relation to complicated questions in border areas between physics and chemistry. Onsager presented his fundamental discovery at a Scandinavian scientific meeting in Copenhagen in 1929. It was published in its final form in 1931 in the well known journal Physical Review in two parts [part II offered here] with the title Reciprocal relations in irreversible processes. The elegant presentation meant that the size of the two papers was no more than 22 and 15 pages respectively. Judged from the number of pages this work is thus one of the smallest ever to be rewarded with a Nobel Prize. The great importance of irreversible thermodynamics becomes apparent if we realize that almost all common processes are irreversible and cannot by themselves go backwards. As examples can be mentioned conduction of heat from a hot to a cold body and mixing or diffusion." And: "Work done in the past may be selected for the award only on the supposition that its significance has until recently not been fully appreciated." --Nobel Prize Foundation website, presentation of the award for Nobel Prize for Physics, 1968. (Although Onsager's award comes late in the game 37 years later it is not the record for time between publication and award, that record belonging to Peter Higgs (48 years).
