THE PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS [MENDELEEV, D.I.] Sootnoshenie svoistv s atomnym vesom elementov.1869. Exceedingly scarce first printing of Mendeleev’s seminal Russian Chemical Society-paper of March 1869, presenting for the first time the periodical table of the elements. “Early in 1869, Russian chemist Dmitrii Mendeleev was in a predicament many people are familiar with—he was facing a deadline. He had delivered the first volume of his inorganic chemistry textbook to his publisher but was struggling with how to organize the second volume. This struggle would culminate in a remarkable discovery, a system that classified all of the chemical elements. In March 1869, Mendeleev delivered a full paper to the Russian Chemical Society spelling out the most significant aspect of his system, that characteristics of the elements recur at a periodic interval as a function of their atomic weight. This was the first iteration of the periodic law.”USD 53,000

"THE MOST SIGNIFICANT MASTER'S THESIS OF THE 20TH CENTURY"- CORRECTED VERSION FROM THE LIBRARY OF CLAUDE SHANNON SHANNON, CLAUDE. A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits..1938. A spirit duplicated (dittoed) copy of a corrected version of the originally published AIEE-paper, from his own archive, of Shannon's landmark thesis, perhaps the single most important theoretical step in the development of the modern computer. Shannon demonstrated the concept of using 0 and 1 as true/false values to allow arithmetic by relay circuits, and the work constitutes "a landmark in that it helped to change digital circuit design from an art to a science" (Goldstine, 1972, p. 119) - ""a basic idea on which all modern computers are built." (Shannon's obituary, the New York Times). Shannon was awarded the Alfred Noble Prize of the American Society of Civil Engineers for his master's thesis in 1940.USD 12,200
