A propos de cet article

George A. Linhart. Lessons in Americanization, a Crystal from the Melting Pot. Eureka, California; Eureka Printing Company. 1921. 9"x6", 4 parts, each in their original wrappers. Each section (numbered 1-4) is 12pp (48pp all together). Chipping here and there along edges, and dusted. GOOD condition. Provenance: Library of Congress, with their rubber stamp surplus mark on rear wrapper. Each section has a few pencil notations on the front cover. These are the memoirs of the physicist/chemist/thermo George Linhart and his adventure as a young man in his newly-adopted USA. I do not know if or how complete this story is. The text ends with a mention of the US in WWI, which means the story stops in 1917 which is pretty close in time to the publication of part four. "The name of George Augustus Linhart is in fact "widely unknown". In effect, he was a Viennese-born USA-American physicist-chemist, partially associated with the Gilbert Newton Lewis' school of thermodynamics at the University of California in Berkeley. As a lone small boy, he had arrived (from Austria via Hamburg) at New York in 1896, but was officially USA-naturalized only in 1912. He was able to pick up English in the streets of New York and Philadelphia, when occasionally working as a waiter and/or as a tailor - just to somehow survive. But, nonetheless, he could successfully graduate a high school in about one year - and then went to the universities for his further education. After obtaining his BS from the University of Pennsylvania, he could manage getting both MA and then PhD from the Yale University, Kent Chemical Laboratory. George Augustus Linhart was afterwards definitely able to successfully work out the true foundations of thermodynamics and could thus outdistance many famous thermodynamicists of his time and even the later ones. Linhart's view of the Second Law of Thermodynamics was and is extremely fruitful."--"George Augustus Linhart—As a "Widely Unknown'' Thermodynamicist."On SciX at Harvard online.…
