Light wear to extremities, otherwise fine. 36, VII pp. First edition of Torkel's paper on the metabolism of flying desert locusts. Weis-Fogh here proves that these insects exclusively utilize carbohydrates for flight. Further. "Weis-Fogh (1952) points out that even in the locust carbohydrate is consumed at the start of flight, and correlates this with the greater ease of mobilization of glycogen rather than fat, which is a more suitable fuel for long-distance, steady fliers" (Pringle, Insect Flight, 44).

[No place], The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1957. 8vo. In the original printed wrappers. In "Journal of Symbolic Logic", Vol. 22, Number 1. March, 1957. A very fine and clean copy. Pp. 39-54 [Entire issue: 112 pp.]. First printing of Putnam's important paper in which he analyses whether a decidable theory has an essentially undecidable, axiomatizable extension (with the same constants).Hilary Whitehall Putnam (1926 - ) is an American philosopher who has been a central figure in analytic philosophy since the 1960s. Putnam approached others as well as his own philosophical positions with scrutiny which made him acquire a reputation for frequently changing his own position. The present article therefore becomes a logical description of his own approach to philosophical problems. Journal of Symbolic Logic, together with Bulletin of Symbolic Logic and Review of Symbolic Logic, is the official journal of the Association for Symbolic Logic. The Journal of Symbolic Logic was founded in 1936 and it has become the leading research journal in the field. It is issued quarterly.

By 1920 he had left the laboratory to popularize genetics and harmonize the relationship between biology, religion, and the humanities.

First Swedish edition of this modern classic, which tells the tragic story of the medical doctor and poet, Yuri Zhivago, in the years during the Russian Revolution.Though begun several decades earlier, the work was completed in 1956, and was submitted for publication to the journal "Novij Mir" the same year, but due to the controversial contents of the work and the Soviet government's dislike of Pasternak, it was rejected. The following year the manuscript was smuggled out of the Soviet Union by the Italian publisher Feltrinelli, who published the book in Russian in Milan in 1957. Already the following year numerous European translations of the work had been made, and the English and Italian ones appeared as the first. These immediate translations and the publications of them partly caused Pasternak being awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1958. Due to the immense popularity of the work, alle the European translations were reprinted numerous times.In 1965 the work was made into the large-scale film-production by David Lean, which was nominated for ten Oscars and won five.

His early work was on algebraic number fields, how to decompose the ideal generated by a prime number into prime ideals. He then worked on noncommutative rings, proving his celebrated theorem on embedding a domain into a division ring. He then examined polynomial rings over skew fields, and attempted to extend his work on factorisation to non-commutative rings.
