Portfolio Theory and Risk Management
A rigorous account of classical portfolio theory and a simple introduction to modern risk measures and their limitations.
Image and Reality
Nineteenth-century chemists were faced with a particular problem: how to depict the atoms and molecules that are beyond the direct reach of our bodily senses. In visualizing this microworld, these scientists were the first to move beyond high-level philosophical speculations regarding the unseen. In Image and Reality, Alan Rocke focuses on the community of organic chemists in Germany to provide the basis for a fuller understanding of the nature of scientific creativity. Arguing that visual mental images regularly assisted many of these scientists in thinking through old problems and new possibilities, Rocke uses a variety of sources, including private correspondence, diagrams and illustratio...
Hand-book of Chemistry
Several volumes contain reports of the meetings of the Cavedish Society.
From the Molecular World
Hermann Kopp (1817–1892) is best remembered today as a historian of chemistry, but during his lifetime he was one of the most eminent chemists of his day, and one of the earliest pioneers of physical chemistry. Late in his career he wrote an endearing fantasy about personified molecules. Published in 1882, Aus der Molecular-Welt (From the Molecular World) portrayed the intimate details of what might actually be happening in the sub-microscopic world; the atoms and molecules we meet there have agency, personalities, sometimes even dialog. Filled with appealing tropes, humor, and whimsical asides, Kopp’s short book provided an examination of the chemistry and physics of his day that was always light-hearted on the surface, but often surprisingly profound. Properly interpreted, the book provides a revealing tour of nineteenth-century debates concerning chemical theory. It is here translated into English, richly annotated, and equipped with an illuminating preface by a leading historian of chemistry. It provides entertaining reading to practicing chemists, as well as new insights to historians of science.
A Kopp Family Tree
Joseph John Kopp (1831-1897) was born in Prussia and immigrated to the United States with his family in about 1841. He was naturalized in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, in 1854 and migrated to to Elmont, Kansas, before 1857. Mary Ann Mathews (1837-1920) was born at Talcott or Hinton, West Virginia and migrated to Kansas with her father in 1855. Joseph J. and Mary Ann were married in Shawnee County, Kansas, in 1857. They had eight children, 1858-1883. Joseph J. Kopp died in Shawnee County. Chiefly lists descendants of their son, Albert Elliott Kopp (1858-1948) and his wife, Elnora Antrim Kopp (1861-1931) who lived in Kansas, California and elsewhere.
