BLACK-BODY THEORY AND THE QUANTUM DISCONTINUITY, 1894-1912 THOMAS S. KUHN, Professor of History of Science at Princeton University and Member of the Institute for Advanced Study. This book traces the gradual emergence during the first decade of this century, of the conception of a discontinuous physics. Breaking with longstanding tradition, Professor Kuhn maintains that that revolutionary concept did not originate in the work of Max Planck, but rather among physicists who were trying to understand the success of his novel theory of black-body radiation. Part I of this work describes the evolution of his essentially classical theory from 1894-1906. Part II describes the emergence of the concept of quantum discontinuity in the work of Ehrenfest, Einstein, and Lorentz and examines the response of other physicists to their startling conclusions.

John Dee on Astronomy Propaedeumata Aphoristica (1558 and 1568) Latin and English Edited and translated, with general notes by Wayne Shumaker The Elizabethan magus John Dee exemplifies both sorts of forerun- ners of modern science: an occultist who talked to angels, a mathemati- cian consulted by navigators and geographers; a mystical alchemical adept, and a teacher of arithmetic. Dee's treatise is presented in the Latin text of 1568 with a facing English translation by Shumaker. A long introduction by J. L. Heilbron relates the Propaedeumata Aphoris- tica in detail to Dee's career and to the history of science.

The Medical Profession in Mid-Victorian London M. Jeanne Peterson Peterson traces the changing character of medical careers in the period from 1858 to 1886. She sheds light on the values and lifestyles of the Victorian bourgeoisie and explores the significant role of family connections and social elites in the making of Victorian medical careers. She also reveals how recently the medical profession came to have the autonomy and authority which it now enjoys and the methods by which medical men gained that power.

PSYCHOANALYSIS, PSYCHOTHERAPY, and the NEW ENGLAND MEDICAL SCENE, 1894-1944
Edited by George E. Gifford, Jr.
This unique group of essays illuminates the development of American psychiatry in an especially flourishing region and era. In this volume pioneer psychoanalysts, historians of psychology and psychiatry, and social and intellectual historians joined to create zestful, lively discussions and stimulating memorable accounts of the personalities, the places, the events, and the institutions that made New England, during five decades, a microcosm of psychiatric history. Many rare photographs capture the immediacy of time and place.

IMAGES DES SCIENCES LES ANCIENS INSTRUMENTS SCIENTIFIQUES

Research by the BELGIAN NATIONAL CENTRE
OF THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE
under the editorship of
HENRI MICHEL of the International Academy of the History of Science
THoSE WHO VALUE fine books and those who have a special interest in the history of science and technology appreciated Henri Michel's previous work LES INSTRUMENTS DES SCIENCES DANS L'ART ET L'HISTOIRE, an impressive volume which has been translated into English, Dutch, German and Italian.
In that book Henri Michel looked at the objects themselves; this time, pursuing his researches, he has analysed works of art, engravings, paintings, miniatures and manu- scripts to determine the origin and development of scientific instruments in the follow- ing disciplines: Arithmetic, Metrology, Topography, Geography, Pneumatics, Optics and Astronomy.
Under each of these headings, Henri Michel-after a general introduction-offers a lavish selection of illustrations, in colour and in black and white. Each of the instru- ments shown is dated, analysed and described, and his commentaries testify to his critical sense and erudition. The pictures cast a new light on the origin, date and use of the various instruments shown, for they have been reproduced faithfully and accurately by a host of artists.
A work of this kind, prepared in cooperation with the NATIONAL CENTRE OF THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE, constitutes an important contribution to our knowledge of the history of the sciences.
It includes very complete tables about the scientists, about the artists, and about the origin of the documents.
A volume of 160 pages, 22 X 28.5 cm-12 colour plates and 98 photographs in black and white-matt art paper 160 grs-hard cover with a miniature in 4 colours Now available only in French edition 1,100 Belgian francs or $34.00

Cosmos, Earth and Man A Short History of the Universe Preston Cloud
"This book is clearly what its subtitle proclaims it to be, A Short History of the Universe. It ranges from an account of the nature of matter to a considera- tion of modern ideas on the evolution and destiny of man. Written for the general reader, it is nevertheless bound to excite the professional scientist, who is most unlikely not to find something new and interesting in its pages. The whole vista is treated clearly and with authority. The book ends with a most civilized account of how we should spend the four billion years left of the life of the sun as a main sequence star. I know of nothing covering the ground that is anything like as good." -G. Evelyn Hutchinson Illus. $I4.95
Origins in Acoustics The Science of Sound from Antiquity to the Age of Newton Frederick Vinton Hunt Foreword by Robert Edmund Apfel Hunt's careful analyses of primary sources and recorded experiments provide a convincing demonstration that the study of the origins in acoustics is more than the systematic study of one scientific discipline. It is, rather, a far-reaching inquiry into man's devel- opment as a civilized being through the dimension of his acoustical experience. 'Illus. $14.00

1. Manuscripts (original plus one copy) should be submitted to the Editor of Isis, Robert P Multhauf, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560. Contributors are advised to retain a copy for reference. All manuscripts should be typewritten and double-spaced, on one side of the page only, on paper of standard size and weight. Margins should be wider than usual to allow space for instructions to the typesetter.
2. Footnotes should be typed separately from the main body of the manuscript, double- or even triple-spaced. The footnotes should be indicated by superior numbers running sequen- tially through the article. Bibliographic source information should be given in footnotes rather than parenthetically in the text. Since it is very important that the reference information be as complete, accurate, and unambiguous as possible, the following guidelines are given:
* In references to books, the following publication information is requested: author's full name; complete and unabbreviated title of the book, underlined to indicate italics; place of publication and publisher's name (this is especially important for books published after 1900); date of publication, including the original date when a reprint is being cited; page numbers cited.
John L. E. Dreyer, A History of Astronomy from Thales to Kepler (2nd ed., New York: Dover Publications, 1953), p. 363.
* References to classical or ancient works should include complete information also, presented in the style that has become customary to the particular work.
Aristotle, Physics IV 11, 219a16, from the translation by R. P. Hardie and R. K. Gaye in Vol. 11 (1930) of W. D. Ross, ed., The Works of Aristotle Translated into English, 12 vols. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1928-1952).
* References to articles in periodicals should include author's name; title of article, in quotes; title of periodical, underlined; year; volume number, Arabic and underlined; number of issue if pagination requires this; page numbers of article and number of particular page cited. Journal titles are spelled out in full the first time they are presented and are abbreviated subsequently.
John C. Greene, "Reflections on the Progress of Darwin Studies," Journal of the History of Biology, 1975, 8: 243-273, on p. 270.
* In the first citing of a reference the title should be given in full. For succeeding citations, an abbreviated version of the title with the author's last name has proven more useful than op. cit.
Greene, "Reflections," p. 250.
3. It is desirable that all personal names mentioned in the text and footnotes be identified with forename or initials, unless the name is obviously well known.
4. It is requested that all unusual alphabets, special characters, mathematics, and chemical formulae be clearly marked for the typesetter. All diacritical marks should be carefully included also.
5. A small number of figures may be used to illustrate an article, numbered in the order in which they are referred to in the text. Line drawings should be directly reproducible-either glossy prints or original drawings with detail and lettering that will reduce clearly to column width (5"). Glossy prints should be furnished for all halftone illustrations.
6. Manuscripts should be submitted to Isis with the understanding that upon publication copyright will be transferred to the History of Science Society. The author is free, however, to use the material for other purposes, including republication and translation, and to receive royalties for such additional use without seeking permission from the Society.

a superior re-creation of this historic instrument
Every MACET ASTROLABE is precisely handcrafted without recourse to casting, requiring about 300 hours to assure the highest standards in each of the 50 being wrought. This new astrolabe has been created to fill that void of ownership of one of those rarely available antique instruments. Although original in design it maintains traditional characteristics and captures the jewel-like elegance of early astrolabes. It is close in size (25/8" diam.) to the smallest extant in museum collections. There are twenty-one accurate star points in the rete (all meticu- lously filed to within thousandths), and a modern calendar-hence this MACET ASTROLABE functions today. Accompanying it is a brief history with instruc- tions. Also included is a decorative brass spacer to be used in lieu of the alidade when worn as a pendant. All is enclosed in a fern green velvet-covered and lined steel case.
