‎The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour, I (+) The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour, II. - [HAMILTON'S RULE]‎

‎London, Academic Press, 1964. 8vo. In the original grey printed wrappers. In ""Journal of Theoretical Biology"", Volume 7, Number 1, July 1964. Entire issue offered. A very fine and clean copy. Pp. 1-16"" Pp. 17-52. [Entire volume: 170, (2) pp.].‎

‎First printing of Hamilton's two seminal publications, perhaps the most important in evolutionary biology in the 20th century, on altruism in relation to kin selection. Hamilton is, primarily because of the present publication, widely regarded as being one of the most influential theoretical biologists of the twentieth century. ""Hamilton's principal achievement was so thoroughly to revise the language of evolutionary biology that it has become nearly impossible to speak in evolutionary explanations except in terms of the self-interest of the organism or gene."" (DSB)Hamilton's rule: k> 1/r, a gene causing an organism to benefit relatives at the expense of its own reproduction will be selected and increase in a population if the benefit to the ""altruist"" outweighs the discounted relationship, or as Hamilton himself described it: ""a gene causing altruistic behavior towards brothers and sisters will be selected only if the behavior and the circumstances are generally such that the gain is more than twice the loss" for half-brothers it must be more than four times the loss" and so on. To put the matter more vividly, an animal acting on this principle would sacrifice its life if it could thereby save more than two brothers, but not for less."" (DSB). Due to the complexity and advanced mathematics the paper was rejected twice until it was accepted by the reviewer's an it was not until the mid 1970ies that his theory became widely know and cited: ""Hamilton wrote up the theory of inclusive fitness in two versions. One was a lengthy, fully mathematical treatment that unified understanding of a considerable body of case studies of altruistic behaviors that Hamilton drew from the scientific literature, the fruit of his graduate research. The second was a short, mostly verbal abstract of the whole, containing only the mathematical relation of Hamilton's rule and some general, theoretical remarks on its applicability. He met difficulty in publishing both. The first he submitted to the Journal of Theoretical Biology, where it spent considerable time in the reviewing process"" ultimately the referee (John Maynard Smith, a mathematical biologist of similar interests) asked that it be split into two parts. After the revisions and splitting called for by the referee for the Journal of Theoretical Biology, that journal published ""The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour,"" parts 1 and 2, in 1964. The first part of the paper contained the mathematical arguments culminating in the derivation of Hamilton's rule"" its arguments were almost exclusively cast in the language and methodology of modern population genetics. The second part hearkened back in its methodology to Darwin's, as Hamilton used the theory of inclusive fitness to explain a diverse array of social traits recorded in the biological literature, including alarm calling, mutual grooming, the fusion of colony organisms, and postreproductive behavior in cryptic (camouflaged) moth species compared with that of aposematic species (bad-tasting with vivid warning colors). In each case, Hamilton argued that his theory of inclusive fitness could coherently explain the evolution of phenomena that had been disparate in the literature as aspects of a single principle at work, Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection, mandating the maximization of favorable genes under selection.Hamilton's influence began to grow among evolutionary biologists as the few who had read and understood the import of his papers worked to bring him from his initial scientific and social isolation into the networks of scientists interested in evolution and behavior. Wilson, for example, invited Hamilton to lecture at Harvard University in 1969, en route to a Smithsonian Institution conference on ""Man and Beast"" that brought together specialists from various fields to discuss the impact of recent biological work on understandings of human nature""From about 1974, citations of Hamilton's 1964 papers in the scientific literature began an exponential rise, reaching some four thousand total in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science database by 2007, making ""The Genetical Evolution of Social Behaviour"" the most-cited paper ever published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. Hamilton's principal achievement was so thoroughly to revise the language of evolutionary biology that it has become nearly impossible to speak in evolutionary explanations except in terms of the self-interest of the organism or gene.""

‎On a general Method in Dynamics" by which the Study of the Motions of all free Systems of attracting or repelling Points is reduced to the Search and Differentiation of one central Relation, or characteristic Function. Received April 1, - Read April 1...‎

‎London, Richard Taylor, 1834-35. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1834 - Part II. and 1835 - Part I. Both titlepages to the volumes present.Pp. (2),247-308 a. (2),95-144. Both papers clean and fine.‎

‎First appearance of these two groundbreaking papers in which Hamilton carries further the dynamics of Lagrange by expressing the kinetic energy in terms of the momenta and the co-ordinates of a system, and discovers how to transform the Lagrangian equations into a set of differential equations of the first order for the determination of of the motion. The Hamilton principle is also called The Principle of ""Least Action"". The Hamilton Principle as stated in the papers offered here ""was the first of his two great ""discoveries"". he second was the quaternions, which he discovered...1843 nd towhich he devoted most of his efforts during the remaining 22 years of his life.""(DSB).Maupertouis, Euler, and Lagrange introduced the principle of ""Least Action"" covering the science of dynamics, and now Hamilton brought the principle into a form which was capable of expressing all the laws of Newtonian science in a representation as minimum-problems, that is, all gravitational, dynamical and electrical laws could be represented as minimum problems. In 1925 Heisenberg, Born and Jordan showed, that the Hamilton equations are still valid in quantum theoryAlthough formulated originally for classical mechanics, Hamilton's principle also applies to classical fields such as the electromagnetic and gravitational fields, and has even been extended to quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, relativity and criticality theories. Its influence is so profound and far reaching that many scientists regard it as the most powerful single principle in mathematocal physics and place it at the pinnacle of physical science.‎

Entire volume offered (July-December 1844). VIII,552 pp., textillustr. Hamilton's paper: pp. 10-13, 141-145 and 241-246.‎

‎First printing of this landmark paper in which Hamilton published his creation of a new algebra of quaternions (a noncommunicative algebra), a turning point in the development of mathematics and a discovery which made possible the creation of the general theory of relativity. His algebra was later to form the basis of quantum mechanics and for the proper understanding of the atom.""Gauss had treated imaginary numbers in combination with real ones as representing points on a plane and showed the methods by which such complex numbers could be manipulated. Hamilton tried to extend this to threee dimensions and found himself unable to work out a self-consistent method of multiplication, until it occurred to him that the cummutative law of multiplication need not necessarily hold. It is taken for granted that A times B is equal to B times A... and this is an example of what seems to be an eternal and inescapable truth. Hamilton, however, showed that he could built up a logical algebra for his quaternions only when B times A was not made to equal - A times B. This seems against common sense but, like Lobachevski, Hamilton showed that the truth is relative and depends on the axioms you choose to accept.""(Asimov).The creation of quaternions is one of the famous moments in the history of mathematics. ""The quaternions came to Hamilton in one of those flashes of understanding that occasionally occur after long deliberation on a problem. He was walking into Dublin on 16 October 1843 along the Royal Canal to preside at a meeting of the Royal Irish Academy, when the discovery came to him. As he described it, ""An electric circuit seemed to close.""18 He immediately scratched the formula for quaternion multiplication on the stone of a bridge over the canal. His reaction must have been in part a desire to commemorate a discovery of capital importance, but it was also a reflection of his working habits. Hamilton was an inveterate scribbler. His manuscripts are full of jottings made on walks and in carriages. He carried books, pencils, and paper everywhere he went. According to his son he would scribble on his fingernails and even on his hard-boiled egg at breakfast if there was no paper handy.""(DSB).Hamilton later developed his invention in his book from 1853 ""Lectures on Quaternions"" - see PMM: 334 and Grattan-Guiness ""Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics 1640-1940"", pp. 460 ff.In this volume other importent papers by Gassiot, Sylvester, Joule, Draper.‎

‎Hamilton King (1871-1952) fut le créateur d'un style d'illustration de belles jeunes femmes strictement contemporain des "Gibson Girls". La popularité de l'artiste, de ses cartes postales et couvertures de revue en la période fin de siècle américaine, fut telle qu'on parlait bientôt de "Hamilton King Girls". Ces "girls" avaient souvent pour modèles les jeunes femmes d'une génération pionnière, celles qui intégraient les universités américaines à la fin du XIXe siècle, ou qui voyageaient déjà dans le monde comme les héroines des romans d'Henry James. C'est ainsi que parmi nos images nous trouvons "A Princeton Girl", "A Monte-Carlo Girl", et une "Girl Just From London". Depuis 1965, The Society of Illustrators aux U.S.A. décerne chaque année un prix Hamilton King aux meilleures illustrations de l'année. Les cartes Hamilton King de grand format presque carré comme les nôtres sont peu courantes. Au verso de 5 de ces belles lithographies, a été griffonné, en allemand, des menus datés des années trente. La date d'émission de ces cartes est datée de 1902. Petites usures marginales, deux petites inscriptions à l'encre, bel état d'ensemble de ces cartes qui témoignent avec un charme certain d'un moment de transition de la société américaine. ‎
