Lovely set of science books from the library of one of the important woman scientists in the new field of solid state physics. Vivian Annabelle Johnson (1912-1985) was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, earing a B.A. in physics from Reed College before attending Purdue as a graduate assistant under Karl Lark-Horovitz. She earned a Master's degree in 1934 and three years later, completed her PhD thesis,Effect of Valence Electrons on the Electron Cloud Distributionwith Wolfgang Nordheim. This research contributed to the newly developing field. She remained on the faculty at Purdue where she continued her specialization and research, being named assistant department head in 1973. Her trailblazing work as a woman in the field paved the way for others such as her friend, Cleota Fry. In 1939, Fry became one of the first women to earn a PhD in mathematics, also at Purdue, before WWII. This collection includes books from her time at Washington High School and Reed College in Portland, and Purdue. The Science of Everyday Life,by by Edgar F.
