Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First paperback edition. xxii, 412 pp; illus. Original wrappers. Somewhat worn, but a Good+ reading copy of a scarce book. Fascinating papers and commentaries with much personal and technical content, by Nobel Laureates Dirac, Willis Lamb, Schwinger and Carl Anderson, as well as Weisskopf, Serber, Stuewer, Scheweber, Weart, Pais (singled out as the lone 'audience participant' -- knowing a bit about 'Bram I can see that), et al. 'Editors Laurie Brown and Lillian Hoddeson have brought together a distinctive collection of essays, discussions, and personal descriptions of the evolution of particle physics based on the presentations and discussions at the May, 1980 International Symposium on the History of Particle Physics, held at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. This collection focuses primarily on the development of cosmic-ray physics and quantum field theory in the 1930s and 1940s, before the advent of the great postwar accelerators, and draws on research conducted in the United States, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, France, and the USSR.'.

Upper corner of rear cover bumped, else Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. 'What role have experiments played, and should they play, in physics? How does one come to believe rationally in experimental results? The Neglect of Experiment attempts to provide answers to both of these questions. Professor Franklin s approach combines the detailed study of four episodes in the history of twentieth century physics with an examination of some of the philosophical issues involved. The episodes are the discovery of parity nonconservation (or the violation of mirror symmetry) in the 1950s; the nondiscovery of parity nonconservation in the 1930s, when the results of experiments indicated, at least in retrospect, the symmetry violation, but the significance of those results was not realized; the discovery and acceptance of CP (combined parity-charge conjugations, paricle-antiparticle) symmetry; and Millikan s oil-drop experiment. Franklin examines the various roles that experiment plays, including its role in deciding between competing theories, confirming theories, and calling fo new theories. The author argues that one can provide a philosophical justification for these roles. He contends that if experiment plays such important roles, then one must have good reason to believe in experimental results. He then deals with deveral problems concerning such reslults, including the epistemology of experiment, how one comes to believe rationally in experimental results, the question of the influence of theoretical presuppositions on results, and the problem of scientific fruad. This original and important contribution to the study of the philosophy of experimental science is an outgrowth of many years of research. Franklin brings to this work more than a decade of experience as an experimental high-energy physicist, along with his significant contributions to the history and philosophy of science' (Cambridge University Press Web site). Contents: 1. The discovery of parity nonconservation; 2. The nondiscovery of parity nonconservation; 3. CP or not CP; 4. The role of experiment; 5. Do experiments tell us about the world?; 6. The epistemology of experiment; 7. The epistemology of experiment: case studies; 8. Forging, cooking, trimming and riding on the bandwagon: fraud in science.

'This book brings together the series of papers Kalecki wrote, between 1940 and his death in 1970, on economic planning, that contain the germ of his theory of growth in a socialist economy. They also contain a startlingly original analysis of economic planning in a socialist society. This analysis anticipates many of the tenets of the disequilibrium school of economists of the 1970s. In his introduction, Jan Toporowski argues that Kalecki's work on the theory of growth in a socialist economy is incomplete and has often consequently been misrepresented without the analysis presented in these papers, most of which have been translated for the first time for publication in this edition' (Cambridge University Press Web site).
