Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing of the autobiography of Nobel Prize-winning experimental physicist Luis W. Alvarez. The complete number line ending in "1" confirms the first printing. Published as part of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Series, the volume contains xii, 292 pages, an index, and photographic illustrations. Alvarez recounts an unusually wide-ranging scientific career encompassing cosmic-ray research, wartime radar development, the Manhattan Project and Los Alamos, observation of the Hiroshima mission from the air, elementary-particle physics, the use of cosmic rays to investigate the Pyramid of Chephren, and the asteroid-impact theory developed with his son Walter Alvarez to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs. Alvarez received the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to particle physics, particularly discoveries made possible through his development of the liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber and associated data-analysis techniques. Condition: Burgundy cloth hardcover remains sound and square, with light shelf wear and mild toning to the page edges. The photographed interior pages are clean, with no ownership markings visible. Dust jacket remains bright and complete, showing light surface rubbing and soiling, mild edge creasing, and small chips or short closed tears around the upper edge and spine ends. A presentable first-printing copy in its original dust jacket. A desirable scientific autobiography with appeal to collectors of modern physics, the Manhattan Project, atomic history, Nobel laureates, particle physics, and the history of twentieth-century science. Alvarez's candid account places him alongside figures including Ernest Lawrence, Robert Oppenheimer, and Enrico Fermi and records his direct involvement in several defining scientific and military developments of the century. Carefully packed and shipped in a sturdy box. USPS Media Mail available within the United States; expedited and international shipping quoted at cost.
