Bound in the original maroon cloth, lettered in shiny gold on the spine and front cover. Much of this volume consists of an bibliography identifying over 900 of Osborn's published writings up to 1929, arranged in two sections -- chronologically and by subject. [Preliminary versions of the bibliography were published in 1911 and 1916, respectively]. Other sections cover his awards; memberships in learned societies; academic degrees; tributes; etc. [Note: This book's title page lists 1930 as year of publication, but internal evidence points to 1933 instead]. "For twenty-five years, [Osborn was] president of the American Museum of Natural History and was largely responsible for making it probably the largest natural history museum in the world. Osborn was primarily a research scientist. He continually studied fossil vertebrates, and with the aid of assistants and colleagues. published some 600 papers, books, and monographs." - DSB. See also DAB, supplement 1. This copy is from the personal library of, and bears the small ink stamp of Robert B. Sosman. A geophysicist and physical chemist, Robert Browning Sosman authored THE PHASES OF SILICA (1965, New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press). Sosman received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1907, at the age of 26. By 1908 he had joined the Geo-Physical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution. Dr. Sosman worked at the Geo-Physical Laboratory for 20 years, serving 8 years as Assistant Director. During World War I, his contributions there were instrumental in establishing America's capacity for manufacturing optical glass. In 1928 he left to join the United States Steel Corporation as Assistant Director of Research. Following his retirement from U.S. Steel in 1947, he became visiting professor of Ceramics at Rutgers University. Dr. Sosman was a past president of the American Ceramic Society. In his honor, the Society established The Robert B. Sosman Award, "the highest recognition of scientific accomplishment given by the Basic Science Division. in recognition of outstanding achievement in basic science of an area that results in a significant impact to the field of ceramics."
