Lancaster: American Physical Society, 1962. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF THE IMPORTANT PROOF OF THE GOLDSTONE THEOREM. In 1961, Jeffrey Goldstone conjectured and, a year later with the Pakistani physicist Mohammad Abdus Salam and American Steven Weinberg proved that a spontaneously broken symmetry would produce a particle.....

RARE FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS of the paper which pioneered the modern concept of what would later become known as supersymmetry. (A supersymmetry relating mesons and baryons was proposed by Miyazawa in 1966, but did not involve spacetime and was largely ignored). Gol’fand and Likhtman’s 1971 work is “the..... More
TWO VOLUME BOUND FIRST EDITIONS of two of three papers that led to Yoichiro Nambu’s 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in subatomic physics” (Nobel Prize Committee). Nambu’s work “was an important precursor to the theory that unifies electromagnetic and weak..... More

RARE FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS AND IN ENGLISH OF THE SOVIET HIGGS MECHANISM PROPOSAL. Unlike the Higgs mechanism proposals by Higgs, Brout and Englert, and Guralnik and Hagen, the mechanism proposed by Soviet Physicists Alexander Polyakov and Alexander Migdal is often overlooked because the publication of their paper was delayed.....
