Item description from seller

Xiii, 305 Pp. Red Cloth Stamped In Gilt And Black. Publisher's Code Indicates First Printing. Near Fine In Near Fine Dust Jacket. Ownership Stamp Of Caltech Professor C. Hewitt Dix. Fritz Rohrlich (1921 –2018) Was An American Theoretical Physicist And Educator Who Published In The Fields Of Quantum Electrodynamics, Classical Electrodynamics Of Charged Particles, And The Philosophy Of Science. Rohrlich Was Born In Vienna, Austria In 1921. In 1939 He Emigrated To Study At The Technion In Haifa In Modern-Day Israel, Where He Was Awarded A Diploma In Industrial Chemistry In 1943. He Then Began Work In Jerusalem As A Technician For The British Armed Forces. He Was Able To Concurrently Study Physics With Giulio Racah At The Hebrew University Of Jerusalem, Which Was His Ultimate Goal. In June 1942, His Parents Became Victims Of The Holocaust; They Had Been Deported To The Sobibór Extermination Camp By The Authorities In Austria. In 1946, Rohrlich Was Accepted For Graduate Studies At Harvard University In The United States. He Received A Master's Degree In 1947 And A Doctorate In 1948; His Doctoral Thesis Advisor Was Julian Schwinger. At Harvard, He Was Also A Teaching Assistant For Norman Foster Ramsey. In 1948, He Joined The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton, New Jersey; As Max Jammer Wrote Much Later, "For Rohrlich This Was One Of The Highlights Of His Life: He Met Einstein, Pais, Placzek, Uhlenbeck, Dyson, And The Mathematicians Gödel, Von Neumann, And Weyl; He Was Present When Von Laue And Yukawa Visited The Institute. In 1949, He Became A Research Associate With Hans Bethe At Cornell University. There He Met Richard Feynman, Which Revived His Interest In The Problems Of Divergences In The Classical Electrodynamic Theory For Charged Particles, For Which He Later Became A Leading Expert. At The Same Time, He Also Made Significant Contributions To The Establishment Of Early Quantum Electrodynamics, And In Particular He Demonstrated The Equivalence Of The Various Formulations For Spin-0 Particles, After Freeman Dyson Had Demonstrated The Version Of Spin-½ Particles). In 1951, He Became An Assistant Professor At Princeton University. There He Gave Lectures On Quantum Electrodynamics From Which His Seminal Textbook, Written With Josef-Maria Jauch, Emerged. In 1953 He Became An Associate Professor (And Colleague Of Jauch) At The University Of Iowa; The Text The Theory Of Photons And Electrons Was First Published In 1955. In 1963 He Became A Professor At Syracuse University, Where He Spent The Rest Of His Career; His Text Classical Charged Particles Was First Published In 1965. In Addition To His Work In Theories Of Quantum And Classical Electrodynamics, In The Early 1960S He Also Investigated (With T. Fulton And Louis Witten) The Problem Of The Radiation Of The Free-Falling Charged Particle In The General Theory Of Relativity And The Question Of Whether This Violated The Principle Of Equivalence. In The 1980S, He Put His Focus On The Philosophy Of Science, And Wrote The Text From Paradox To Reality: Our Basic Concepts Of The Physical World. In 1991 He Retired And Became A Professor Emeritus. He Remained Active In Research For Many Years Thereafter, And In 2009 Was Honored By The Lifetime "Outstanding Referee" Designation Of The American Physical Society.
