‎First appearance of Adams and Day's landmark paper, in which they demonstrated that electricity could be produced from light without moving parts, eventually leading to the modern solar cell. It is here that Adams shows for the first time that the discovery of Willoughby Smith - that the conductivity of selenium is due only to the effect of light - is correct and furthermore that light has an effect on the resistance of selenium and that light generates electrical currents in selenium. Two years later Adams expanded the work and published 'Solar Heat'. Here he described his ""Power Tower Concept"", which to this day remains the basis of solar plants.William Grylls Adams (1836 - 1915), professor of Natural Philosophy at King's College, London, and brother of the famous astronomer John Couch Adams (1819-1892), was President of the Physical Society of London from 1878 to 1880. In 1872 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1875 delivered their Bakerian Lecture. He was president of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and of the mathematical and physical section of the British Association.His greatest achievement lies in demonstrating the seminal discovery that electricity could be produced from light without moving parts. The road to this discovery was begun in 1839 when Becquerel discovered that illumination of one of two metal plates in a dilute acid changed the electromotive force. Another French scientist, Auguste Mouchout, followed up on Becquerel's discovery, but it was not until 1876, when Adams and Richard Evans Day discovered that illuminating a junction between selenium and platinum has a photovoltaic effect, that the foundation for the documented use of solar thermal power was laid [with the publication of the present paper]. ""From a historical viewpoint, it is of interest to note that the first experiments on the generation of solar thermal power in India were conducted by an Englishman, William Adams, about one hundred years ago.

‎ "Contents, Chapitres : Introduction by Ernest Samuels, Acknowledgments, Textual notes, Editor's preface by Henry Cabot Lodge, Preface, xxx, Text, 705 pages - Henry Brooks Adams, 1838-1918, est un journaliste, historien et romancier américain conservateur qui s'est rendu célèbre par la publication de cet ouvrage, ""L'éducation d'Henry Adams"". Il a également développé une théorie de l'histoire basée sur le second principe de la thermodynamique. Dans son ""Education"", Adams voyait la Vierge Marie comme le symbole de l'ancien monde, et la dynamo comme celui de la modernité. L'ouvrage fut publié en 1907 de façon confidentielle, avant de devenir un bestseller pour lequel il obtint le prix Pullitzer en 1919." minor wear on the bottom of the spine and the borders of the wrappers, inside is clean, but there are few yellow overlinings on around 40 pages, it remains light and a very good reading copy‎

‎L'artiste Dennis Adams, qui vit et travaille à New York, est mondialement reconnu pour ses interventions publiques et ses installations en musée qui abordent les processus de mémoire collective et de contrôle social dans la conception et l’usage de l’architecture et de l’espace public. Il a réalisé des projets publics dans plusieurs pays européens, au Canada, en Israël et aux États-Unis. Son travail a fait l’objet de plus de 50 expositions en solo dans des musées et des galeries. En 1994, deux rétrospectives différentes étaient consacrées à son travail, l’une au Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen, l’autre au Contemporary Arts Museum de Houston. Adams faisait partie de la Biennale 2000 du Whitney. Il enseigne à la Cooper Union School of Art à New York.‎

Reference : 42763

(1853)

‎On the Secular Variation of the Moon's Mean Motion. Received and Read June 16, 1853.‎

‎(London, Richard Taylor and William Francis, 1853) 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1853, Vol. 143 - Part III. Pp. 397-406. Clean and fine.‎


‎First appearance of this importent paper by Adams, - famous for his co-discovery with Le Verrier, of Neptune in 1846 - in which he introduces new mathematical methods in dealing with the pertubations of the Moon, raising a sharp scientific controversy, and correcting Laplace's great memoir of 1788.""He (Adams) was elected fellow of Pembroke College in 1853, and shortly afterwards he presented to the Royal Society a remarkable paper (the paper offered) on the secular accleration of the moon's mean motion. This quantity was thought to have been definitively investigated by Pierre Simon de Laplace in 1788, but Adams showed that Laplace's solution was incorrect. In particular, Laplace had ignored a variation in solar eccentricity that introduces into the diffrential equations for the moon's motion a series of additional terms. Adams calculated the second term of series, on which the secular acceleartion depends....This paper caused a sharp scientific controversy, marked by angry chauvinism on the part of several French astronomers. Their attack stimulated a number of independent investigations of the subject, all of which confirmed Adams' results. The matter was definitely settles in his favor by 1861, but not without hard feelings.""(DSB I, p. 54b).‎
