First edition of this overview of the evolution of atomic physics, focusing on the discovery and understanding of elementary particles. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Boldly signed by Chen Ning Yang on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with minor toning to the spine. Illustrated with black and white drawings and pictures. Rare and desirable signed. Yang begins by tracing the early identification of subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons, highlighting the experimental and theoretical advancements that led to their discovery. He emphasizes the collaborative interplay between experimental findings and theoretical frameworks, demonstrating how each has propelled the other forward. A pivotal aspect of the book is the discussion of parity violation, a groundbreaking concept that Yang, along with Tsung-Dao Lee, introduced in 1957. This theory challenged the previously held notion that physical processes are symmetrical, revealing that certain subatomic interactions differentiate between left and right orientations. The experimental confirmation of parity violation marked a paradigm shift in the understanding of fundamental physical laws.

Lancaster, American Institute of Physics, 1949 Lex8vo. Volume 76, December 15, No. 12, 1949 of "The Physical Review", Second Series. In the original printed blue wrappers. Minor browning to extremities and slight wear to spine. Internally fine and clean. Pp. 1739-1743. [Entire issue: Pp. 1739-1934, iii-xv]. First edition of Fermi and Yang's important paper in which they discusses whether Mesons, subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark, are elementary particles. "[The present paper] certainly touches very fundamental and deep questions. In it they develop the idea that a meson might be a tightly bound combination of a nucleon and an antinucleon. [.] This early incomplete attempt has left a trace in particle physics, and its fundamental ideas echo in later work." (Segrè, Emilio. Enrico Fermi, Physicist, 1970, p. 170).Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, Along with Oppenheimer he is frequently referred to as "the father of the atomic bomb". Yang received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 for his work on parity nonconservation of weak interaction. When the present paper was written Yang functioned as Fermi's assistant.
