Einstein, Albert. Three papers in one volume: "Die Plancksche Theorie der Strahlung und die Theorie der spezifischen Warme” pp 180-190; AND "Ueber die Gultigkeitsgrenze des Satzes vom thermodynamischen Gleichgewicht und uber die Moglichkeit einer neuen Bestimmung der Elementarquanta", pp. 569-572; AND WITH "Berichtigung zu meiner Arbeit: Die Plancksche Theorie der Strahlung...", p. 800 in Annalen der Physik, Vierte Folge, 4/22, 1907; viii, 1016pp, 4 plates, portrait. Bound in modern black cloth (from ca. 1970). Very Good, fresh copy. Priced an order of mag in dollars above the sum of Einstein's numeric birthday: $330.00
"In 1907 Einstein pointed out how one could use the quantized energy of the oscillations of atoms in solids to account for departures from the rule of Dulong and Petit. This empirical rule, that the specific heat is the same for one mole of any element in solid form, was understood as a consequence of the theorem of equipartition of energy"--Dictionary of Scientific Biography. This first paper is marked by Einstein bibliographer Weil as being of particular importance. Refs: Weil 15*&16; Schlipp_Shields 16&17, Boni 15&16; d'Abro, Rise of Modern Physics II, pp 317ff.
