CARL BENEDICKS Einstein's Protégé SPACE AND TIME 1/1 & Original D/J 1924

  

AN EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICIST'S CONCEPTION. OF THESE IDEAS AND THEIR MODIFICATION. Formerly Professor of Physics at the University of Stockholm. HARDEN WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SIR OLIVER LODGE, F. Carl Axel Fredrik Benedicks, born 27 May 1875 in Stockholm, and died in 1958.

He was a Swedish metallograf and physicists of the family Benedicks. He was half-brother to Gustaf Benedicks. He was during 1910 to 1922; Professor of Physics at the University of Stockholm. During 1920 to 1935; superintendent of The Metallographic Institute in Stockholm, for which he was the instigator.

He carried out work in geology, mineralogy, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and mathematics. He would be the first who demonstrated the ability of ultra-microscopic metal structures and their importance in theoretical and practical terms. He was also able to completely recreate natural meteoric iron.

From 1916, he performed a series of studies in thermoelectricity. In 1919, he became a member of the Academy of Engineering Sciences, and in 1922, became a member of the Society of Sciences in Uppsala and in 1924 became a member of the Academy of Sciences. [the year this book was published]. States on Inner Front prelim [of the dustjacket].

Einstein has described this work as. A comprehensive and excellent text-book, to be warmly recommended to mathematicians and physicists interested in The Theory of Relativity.

The Theory of Tensors is developed from first principles, thus enabling the physicist of average attainments to grasp all the mathematical details of Einstein's Theory. First Edition & First Printing.

This book was published in Albert Einstein's Lifetime. The original dustjacket houses this book. Priced on spine at 4/- NET to spine. Very minor [3mm] chips to top and bottom of spine and corners. Spine has darkened in comparison to the front and rear panels.
