About This Item
Berkeley: University of California, 1917. First Edition. 8vo, publisher's blue cloth, 225 pp. Some bumpting to boards and fading to title on cloth, very good plus overall. Very Good. A unique association copy of Richard Tolman's work on relativity, published early in his career before his involvement in the technocracy movement and his later more influential Relativity, Thermodynamics, and Cosmology. This copy is inscribed to the mathematician William Duncan MacMillan on the front free endpaper, likely after its publication as MacMillan assumed professorship in 1919 after his military career ended. Very uncommon inscribed, this being a nice association copy.
