The Nathan Reingold Prize was established in 1955 by Ida and Henry Schuman of New York City for an original graduate student essay on the history of science and its cultural influences. Nathan Reingold, senior historian emeritus, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, and former editor of the Joseph Henry Papers. In this volume, taking up his duties as Professor of Natural Philosophy at Princeton University in November 1832, the eminent American physicist Joseph Henry was on the threshold of his most significant experimental activity. Joseph Henry (December 17, 1797 - May 13, 1878) was an American scientist who served as the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. He was the secretary for the National Institute for the Promotion of Science, a precursor of the Smithsonian Institution. He was highly regarded during his lifetime. While building electromagnets, Henry discovered the electromagnetic phenomenon of self-inductance. He also discovered mutual inductance independently of Michael Faraday, though Faraday was the first to make the discovery and publish his results. Henry developed the electromagnet into a practical device. He invented a precursor to the electric doorbell (specifically a bell that could be rung at a distance via an electric wire, 1831) and electric relay (1835). The SI unit of inductance, the Henry, is named in his honor. Henry's work on the electromagnetic relay was the basis of the practical electrical telegraph, invented by Samuel F. B. Morse and Sir Charles Wheatstone, separately. Using his developed electromagnetic principle, in 1831, Henry created one of the first machines to use electromagnetism for motion. This was the earliest ancestor of modern DC motor.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xii, 490, [2] pages. Appendix: Sources of Documents. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Name of previous owner and date in ink on fep. This is one of The Chicago History of Science and Medicine series. Nathan Reingold (1927-2004), historian of American science, received B.A. (1947) and M.A. (1948) degrees from New York University and the Ph.D. (1951) from the University of Pennsylvania. He was on the staff of the National Archives and Records Service from 1951 to 1959 and at the Library of Congress from 1959 to 1966. In 1966 Reingold was appointed editor of the Joseph Henry Papers at the Smithsonian Institution. In 1985 he was appointed senior historian in the National Museum of American History (NMAH). After his retirement in 1993, Reingold became historian emeritus at NMAH. Dr. Reingold was mentor to a generation of historians of science, as well as the author or editor of six books, five volumes of "The Papers of Joseph Henry" and dozens of essays. He was instrumental in helping to transform the history of American science into a major area of historical research. His two most notable books were "Science in Nineteenth-Century America: A Documentary History," and "Science in America: A Documentary History: 1900-1939," co-authored with Ida H. Reingold. Many of his essays became required reading for students of the history of American science. They ranged from the relationship between science and technology in 19th-century America to Hollywood's depiction of the atomic bomb. Ida H. Reingold was a mathematician who has authored numerous technical papers. Topics covered include The Carnegie Institution in Washington, Astronomy, Chemistry; Physics; Mathematics' Biology, Genetics, Medicine, National Academy, World War I, Physical Science, and The Institute for Advanced Study. From this unique collection of documents emerges a fresh, intimate, often striking picture of the life of science in the United States in the era when American investigators became central to scientific advances in many fields. Written in the course of the events described, these letters, memoranda, and other records, for the most part previously unpublished, convey personalities and issues with an immediacy hard to capture in conventional historical narratives. …
