Item description from seller

FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF A LENGTHY PAPER ASSESSING THE 'FORTY YEARS OF PROGRESS' SINCE THE RELEASE OF BURBIDGE(S), FOWLER, & HOYLE'S SEMINAL 1957 PAPER "SYNTHESIS OF THE ELEMENTS IN STARS". Fifteen scientists contributed to the paper. First published in 1957 paper, Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, and William Fowler's seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in Stars" "describes hydrogen and helium are formed in the interior of stars" (Daintith, Oxford Dictionary of Scientists, 268). The paper, widely considered "one of the most authoritative and comprehensive works of modern science" is so famous that it is commonly referred to simply as B2FH after the initials of its authors (ibid). B2FH is credited with originating what is now known as the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. An often quoted statement of Carl Sagan, "We are all star stuff," is simply his paraphrase of this review paper's thesis (ibid). B2FH predicted the chemical evolution of the universe testable through stellar spectral line emulsions, using this to illustrate the possibility that all heavy earth elements in face originate from the furnace-like cores of nearby extinct solar phenomena. "Forty years ago Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler, and Hoyle combined what we would now call fragmentary evidence from nuclear physics, stellar evolution and the abundances of elements and isotopes in the solar system as well as a few stars into a synthesis of remarkable ingenuity. Their review provided a foundation for forty years of research in all of the aspects of low energy nuclear experiments and theory, stellar modeling over a wide range of mass and composition, and abundance studies of many hundreds of stars, many of which have shown distinct evidence of the processes suggested by BFH. In this review we summarize progress in each of these fields with emphasis on the most recent developments" (Abstract, RMP, 69, 4, October 1957, p. 995). The following scientists contributed to the paper: George Wallerstein, Icko Iben, , Jr., Peter Parker, Ann Merchant Boesgaard, Gerald M. Hale, Arthur E. Champagne, Charles A. Barnes, Franz Käppeler, Verne V. Smith, Robert D. Hoffman, Frank X. Timmes, Chris Sneden, Richard N. Boyd, Bradley S. Meyer, and David L. Lambert. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS ISSUE: "Recoilless gamma-ray lasers", George C. Baldwin and Johndale C. Solem, pp. 1085-1119; "Heavy-fermion systems studied by SR technique", A. Amato, pp. 1119-1181; "Theory of color symmetry for periodic and quasiperiodic crystals" Ron Lifshitz, pp. 1181-1219; "Immunology for physicists", Alan S. Perelson and Gérard Weisbuch, pp. 1219-1269; "Modeling molecular motors", Frank Jülicher, Armand Ajdari, and Jacques Prost, pp. 1269-1283.
