These three important memoirs pertaining to modern physics were published by Fermi under the auspices of the Academy of Italy within the "Memoirs of the Royal Academy of Italy: Class of Mathematical and Natural Physical Sciences," before his departure for the United States.The orbit s of the elements is a work by Enrico Fermi, the other two were written with the collaboration of E. Segrè and E. Amaldi. Enrico Fermi (1901 - 1954), Italian physicist, gained the Nobel prize for physics in 1938 for research on the making of artificial radioactive substances. In 1934 he was the first to bombard nuclei of heavy elements with neutrons and thus to obtain transmutations. Since 1939 he has been professor of physics at Columbia University. In 1942 he was responsible for the construction of the first atomic pile" (Howard). 4to, 3 extracts, printed independently with covers and own paging, from "Memoria della R.
