Previous owner name at top half-title page, that of David Park, distinguished Williams College Physics professor. From a Physics Today obit: "David Allen Park, Webster Atwell - Class of 1921 Professor of Physics Emeritus at Williams College, died on January 19, 2012 at age 92. He was a brilliant scholar, a natural teacher, and an inspiration and mentor to his colleagues. . .The author of eight books, dozens of articles and countless book reviews and letters to editors of all sorts of publications, David was a prolific and wide-ranging scholar. In the 1950?s at the invitation of the editors of American Journal of Physics he wrote a pair of long articles, each entitled ?Recent Advances in Physics,? which together reviewed and explained new results in low temperature physics and particle physics, including the exciting discovery of parity violation. In a 1973 letter to the Dean of the Faculty conveying a list of David?s publications, his department chair noted that it included publications in at least seven sub-fields, work done in collaboration with three Williams colleagues in three different disciplines, and both books and articles surveying contemporary physics, using the kind of imaginative dissection of sophisticated concepts that he brought to his classroom teaching." This book was a Review copy sent to David Parks by a Russian Physicist, under the auspices of Springer-Verlag (Compliments card laid in), with David Park's photo-copied letter of Review of 17 February 1990 [Park retired in 1988], signed by Park, also laid in.
