Sobre este artículo
Manchester: Manchester Literary & Philosophical Society, 1908. 1st Edition. OFFPRINT, FIRST SEPARATE EDITION IN ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPPERS OF JOSEPH LARMOR'S "EXTENSIVE SURVEY OF ATOMIC THEORY" (Kragh, Niels Bohr and the Quantum Atom, 111).

Joseph Larmor (1857-1942) was an Irish physicist and mathematician who made significant contributions in a wide variety of fields. Armor was "the first to calculate the rate at which energy is radiated by an accelerated electron, and the first to explain the splitting of spectrum lines by a magnetic field. His theories were based on the belief that matter consists entirely of electric particles moving in the ether" (Wikipedia).
Larmor was awarded the Wilde Medal in recognition of the breadth of his understanding of and innovations in electricity, dynamics, chemistry, thermodynamics, and the electron theory of matter. CONDITION & DETAILS: 8vo. 54 pp. Offprint, first separate edition in original printed wrappers from Volume 52, No. 10 of Memoirs and Proceedings of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, Session 1907-1908.
