Fine, No Wear At All, Gilt Brilliant, Well Protected In The Original Plain Brown Dj Which Is Missing Most Of The Upper 1/3 Of Spine And Front Panel. Serge A. Korff (1906-1989) Was A Physicist Who Led Worldwide Observations Of Cosmic Rays In The 1940'S And 1950'S, Using Balloons, Aircraft And Mountaintop Observatories. Serge Alexander Korff Was Born In Helsinki, Finland. His Father, A Baron, Belonged To A Prominent Russian Family And Was Professor Of Russian Law At The University Of Helsinki Before Emigrating To The United States. Mr. Korff Graduated From Princeton University In 1929, Obtaining His Doctorate There In 1931. The Next Year He Became A Research Associate At The Mount Wilson Observatory In California And Through The Rest Of The 1930'S He Was Associated With The California Institute Of Technology, The Carnegie Institution Of Washington And The Bartol Research Foundation. The Focus Of His Scientific Career Was Observing And Mapping The Rain Of Neutrons -Electrically Neutral Atomic Particles -Produced By High Energy Radiation, Or Cosmic Rays, Striking The Top Of The Atmosphere All Over The Earth. Balloon Observations Were Made Above Guam, The Galapagos Islands, Greenland, The Caribbean And Several Points Within The United States. In 1960 Dr. Willard Libby, In Accepting The Nobel Prize For His Discovery That The Decay Of Radioactive Carbon Could Be Used To Date Archeological Specimens, Reminded His Audience Of The Contribution Of Dr. Korff's Contribution. It Was Dr. Korff And His Colleagues Who Discovered That The Atmosphere Is Constantly Being Bombarded By Neutrons. He Pointed Out That The Principal Way The Neutrons Would Disappear Would Be By Forming Radioactive Carbon, Dr. Libby Said. This, The Nobel Winner Said, Put Him On The Path To His Discovery. In 1940 He Joined The Faculty Of New York University And Became A Professor Of Physics In 1946. He Was President Of The Explorers Club In New York From 1955 To 1958 And President Of The American Geographical Society From 1967 To 1971, As Well As Chairman Of Its Council From 1972 To 1988.

Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Stated First Edition at copyright page. Copyright 1985 by G. Harry Stine. First and only issue. Designed by Mary Cregan. Dedicated to "Patsy and Clyde." Rare revelatory material. Moderate cover, edge wear, toning. Pages very good, no writing. Few at back with moderate crease. Bind fine, square. Illustrated throughout. Sharp rarity. Stine describes how to build a number of devices that appear to contradict the laws of physics or mechanics, and that, in his words, ``work for some people'' but ``sometimes . . . don't work for everyone.'' Some of it is the other physics, sub-atomic, not taught so much with the standard propagated formulas exacted in the public higher institutions. Stine explains that his purpose is to stimulate individuals to build and test these gadgets, in the hope that they may discover new scientific principles to explain them. Stine introduces a group of "impossible" devices that shouldn't work according to our knowledge of science, but do. Provided are complete instructions and schematics. 113 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Michaels, Robert (Cover Design) (illustrator). Book.…
