Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen [A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions]. WITH: Zur Theorie der Brownschen Bewegung [On the Theory of Brownian Motion]
FIRST APPEARANCE in a journal of Einstein’s famous doctoral dissertation: “it has had more widespread practical applications than any other paper Einstein wrote” (Pais). WITH: Einstein’s important sequel to his revolutionary paper on Brownian motion, “includes the discussion of rotary Brownian motion” (Pais).
"Einstein published his dissertation in Annalen der Physik under the title 'A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions.' In it, he presented a new theoretical method for determining the size of molecules. This work later found application in a wide variety of arenas from the motion of sand grains in cement mixes to casein micelles (particles of protein) in cow's milk. According to a study done by Abraham Pais in the 1970s, between 1961 and 1975 it was quoted more than any other scientific paper written prior to 1912, including Einstein's papers on relativity" (Leonard Mlodinow, Euclid's Window).
IN: Annalen der Physik, Band 19, no.2 (pp. 217-440). Leipzig: Barth, 1906. Octavo, recent brown morocco over marbled boards. Fine condition.
