About This Item

Praha: Nakladatel Jaroslav Tozicka, 1945. Printed Beige Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 8 5/8" Tall. The illustrious phyicist wore many hats: professor of Radiology, and of Atmospheric [Cosmic] Radiation; pioneer in x-ray technology and dosimetry (he had studied at the Curie lab in Paris); adventurer - as a member of two Italian expeditions that attempted to attain the North Pole by Zepplin; science fiction novelist; and science popularizer. He wears the last hat for this work, a popular study (not his last) of the origins of radiology, radiography, and sub-atomic particles. Becquerel, Roentgen, the Curies, Rutherford, and Wilson figure prominently. 262 pages, with Frontispiece, Predmluva, figures (including terriffic photos of early lab instruments, and early cyclotrons), and Doslov (O atomove bombe a jinych mensich udalostech - surely one of the first informed commentaries to be published in Eastern Europe); plus unnumbered page Obsah. Boards are bumped, rubbed, and show fraying at backstrap; text is strong and clean, though browning to margins.
