Unbound as issued (short marginal tear and folds); blue half morocco slipcase. Provenance : signature, dated 1939. FIRST EDITION, offprint issue. "In 1938 Hahn and Strassmann announced their discovery of barium isotopes among the decay products produced by neutron bombardment of uranium. Hahn and Strassmann had in fact discovered nuclear fission" (Norman). Meitner and Frisch calculated the large amount if energy that would be released during the fission process.
