Zeeman ScD., Ph., D D.Sc Nobel Laureate professor of experimental Physics;The University of Amsterdam .without dust jacket. Scarce. "Zeeman is best remembered for his observations in 1896 of the magneto-optic phenomenon that almost immediately was named the Zeeman effect. Zeeman's initial observations were beautifully comprehended by H. A. Lorentz' electromagnetic theory, which also served to guide Zeeman in the very early refinement and extension of his discovery. As a result Zeeman and Lorentz shared the 1902 Nobel Prize for physics in recognition of their accomplishment and of the promise, since overwhelmingly fulfilled, of the Zeeman effect for contributing to the understanding of spectras and the particulate structure of matter. In Researches in Magneto-Optics (London, 1913) Zeeman discussed his own and others' contributions during this same period to Zeeman effect and closely related phenomena, and appended a very valuable bibliography"(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
