London, John van Voorst 1874. Gross-8°. XVIII, 474 S., 2 n.n. S.Anzeigen. Mit 160 Xylographien im Text. Dunkelgrüner Originalleinwandband.
Überarbeitete Fassung der Ausgabe von 1837. - Wellcome 2, 138 (dort mit 1836 und only part III) des erfolgreichen populären zoologischen Werkes. - Auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz mit dem handschriftlichen Besitzvermerk "Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905", auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz, darunter von anderer Hand in Bleistift "Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913". Obwohl die Innenfälze des Vorder- und Hinterdeckels angebrochen sind, das obere Kapital leicht angerissen und der Einbandbezug leicht fleckig, scheint mir persönlich der Zustand des Exemplares zu gut erhalten für einen Artefakten der berühmten Geschichte von Scotts 2. Antarktik Expedition, bei der Edward A. Wilson, zusammenn mit Scott und Henry „Birdie" Bowers am 29. März 1912 verstarb. Wilson (1872-1912), Mediziner und Zoologe, war bereits an der Discovery-Expedition von 1901-1904 als wissenschaftlicher Leiter beteiligt. Zurück von der mehrjährigen Reise erholte er sich im Sommer 1905 in Irland von den Strapazen der unzähligen öffentlichen Auftritten, Vorträgen und Einladungen. Dabei kam er in Kontakt mit dem Naturalisten Barrett-Hamiltonn der ihn als Illustrator für eine neue Monografie der " A History of British Mammals" engagierte. Wilson lebte im Herbst 1905 in Bushey, einem Künstlerort in der Nähe von London. Obwohl er keine akademische Kunstausbildung besass, wurden seine zoologischen Illustrationen zu Standards der Naturgeschichte Grossbritanniens. Über den Verbleib seiner Bibliothek scheint nichts bekannt zu sein. - Revised version of the 1837 edition - Wellcome 2, 138 (there with 1836 and only part III) of the successful popular zoological work. - With the handwritten ownership note 'Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905', on the flyleaf, underneath in another hand in pencil 'Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913'. Although the inner folds of the front and back cover are cracked, the upper capital slightly torn and the cover slightly stained, the condition of the copy seems to me personally too well preserved for an artefact of the famous history of Scott's 2nd Antarctic expedition, during which Edward A. Wilson, together with Scott and Henry 'Birdie' Bowers, died on 29 March 1912. Wilson (1872-1912), a physician and zoologist, had already been involved in the Discovery Expedition of 1901-1904 as scientific director. After travelling for several years, he returned to Ireland in the summer of 1905 to recover from the strain of countless public appearances, lectures and invitations. He came into contact with the naturalist Barrett-Hamiltonn, who engaged him as an illustrator for a new monograph of 'A History of British Mammals'. In the autumn of 1905, Wilson was living in Bushey, an artists' village near London. Although he had no academic art training, his zoological illustrations became standards in the natural history of Great Britain. Nothing seems to be known about the whereabouts of his library.
"WILSON, C.T.R. - THE MOST ORIGINAL AND WONDERFUL INSTRUMENT IN SCIENTIFIC HISTORY - WILSON'S CLOUD CHAMBER.

(1913)
Leipzig, S. Hirzel, 1913. 8vo. Orig. printed wrappers, no backstrip. Wrappers loose. In ""Jahrbuch der Radioaktivität und Elektronik"", 10. bd., Heft 1. Pp. 1-138 (entire issue offered). Wilson's paper: pp. 34-54, textillustrations, showing apparatus and 5 photographic plates, showing ionizing by Alpha-, Beta- and Röntgen- radiation).
Together with the English version - published 1912 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society - this is Wilson's main paper relating ""that the track of an ionizing particle might be made visible and photographed by condensing water of the ions which is liberated"". The first trails were obtained in 1911 where he submitted a short note of this to the Proceedings. In the offered paper he published the first tracks made by the ionizing particles of alpha, beta and Röntgen-rays. This, Wilson Cloud-Chamber, became an extremely valuable instrument of fundamental research, the discovery of the positron in 1932 and the kaon in 1963 were made by using cloud chambers as detectors.""But the whole course of the particle appears infinitely more clearly by the method invented by C.T.R. Wilson in 1911 and named after him. The radiation is allowed to enter an expansion-chamber, containing a gas saturated with water vapour. A sudden expansion of the chamber cools the gas, and cloud-drops are then formed instantly around the ions produced along the tracks of the particles. By suitable illumination these tracks can be made to stand out clearly as if they had been described by luminous projectiles. The ""Altmeister"" of modern nuclear physics, Lord Rutherford, once called the Wilson chamber ""the most original and wonderful instrument in scientific history"".""Thomson Rees Wilson (1869-1959), a Scottish physicist, is credited with inventing the cloud chamber. Inspired by sightings of the Brocken spectre while working on the summit of Ben Nevis in 1894, he began to develop expansion chambers for studying cloud formation and optical phenomena in moist air. Very rapidly he discovered that ions could act as centers for water droplet formation in such chambers. He pursued the application of this discovery and perfected the first cloud chamber in 1911. In Wilson's original chamber the air inside the sealed device was saturated with water vapor, then a diaphragm is used to expand the air inside the chamber (adiabatic expansion). This cools the air and water vapor starts to condense. When an ionizing particle passes through the chamber, water vapor condenses on the resulting ions and the trail of the particle is visible in the vapor cloud. Wilson, along with Arthur Compton, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for his work on the cloud chamber. (Wikipedia).

London, Harrison and Sons, 1923. Royal8vo. Contemp. full cloth, gilt lettering to spine. A small stamp to verso of titlepage and on foot of a few leaves.. In: ""Proceedings of the Royal Society"", Series A, Vol. 104. VI,(6),676,XXXII pp., textillustr. and plates. (Entire volume offered). Wilson's papers: pp. (1-) 24 and 12 plates + pp. 192-212 and 9 plates.
First printing of the paper in which Wilson had brought his Cloud Chamber to perfection and showed the photographic tracks of the particles. The Cloud Chamber was the first detector of radioacticity and nuclear transmutations and it played an importent role in experimental particle physics e.g. the discovery of the positron. Wilson received the Nobel prize - together with Arthur Compton - in physics in 1927 for his work on the Cloud Chamber.""The 21 cloud chamber pictures of X-rays and beta-rays on coated stock printed recto only were the culmination of many years research by Wilson and at last showed the full potential of this method as a tool for particle physicists. Early in 1911 (Wilson) was the first person to see and photograph the tracks of individual alpha-particles and electrons. The event aroused great interest as the paths of the alpha-particle were just as W.H. Bragg had drawn them in publication some years earlier. But it was not until 1923 (the paperoffered) that the clous chamber was brought to perfection and led to his two, beautifully illustrated classic papers on the track of electron.""
