Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. A substantial collection of scientific papers by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Luis W. Alvarez, presented with explanatory and personal commentary from the students and colleagues who worked alongside him. Edited by W. Peter Trower, the volume follows Alvarez's remarkably wide-ranging career through particle and nuclear physics, cosmic rays, radar, accelerators, bubble-chamber research, archaeology, optics, and other experimental investigations. The selections document such subjects as K-electron capture, hydrogen and helium isotopes, the neutron magnetic moment, particle resonances, linear accelerators, Ground Controlled Approach radar, the examination of the Pyramid of Khafre using cosmic rays, and Alvarez's analysis of the Zapruder film. The scientific papers are paired with recollections by notable physicists including Hans A. Bethe, Emilio Segrè, Stanley G. Wojcicki, and Robert D. Watt, giving the book value as both a technical anthology and a firsthand account of twentieth-century experimental physics. Condition: Very Good hardcover in a Good dust jacket. Binding appears firm and square, and the photographed interior pages are clean, with no ownership inscriptions or annotations visible. Light general handling wear is present to the volume. Dust jacket shows noticeable rubbing, surface scratching, creasing, and edge wear, with small chips and short tears at the corners and spine extremities. More substantial creasing and tearing are present along the upper rear edge and rear upper corner, with additional wear and a short tear along the lower rear edge. Jacket remains complete, legible, and presentable despite the wear. Luis W. Alvarez received the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to elementary-particle physics, particularly work involving hydrogen bubble chambers and the discovery of resonance states. This collection demonstrates the extraordinary breadth of his career and includes material relating to several of his best-known experiments and inventions. An appealing first printing for collections devoted to physics, nuclear science, particle physics, Nobel laureates, twentieth-century scientific history, the Manhattan Project era, and the University of California's Radiation Laboratory. The publisher now lists the cloth edition as no longer available. This large-format volume will be carefully wrapped and shipped in a sturdy box to protect the book and dust jacket. Orders are normally shipped promptly, and returns are accepted in accordance with AbeBooks' return policies. SCI 2a.…
