San Francisco, CA: San Francisco Civilian Defense Council, Air Raid Shelter Committee, c1942. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Stapled twice at center. 12 unnumbered pages. Illustrations/diagrams. Footnotes. Tabular Data. RARE. The Air Raid Shelter Committee of the San Francisco Civilian Defense Council presented in this Bulletin No. 2 information supplementing that included in Bulletin No. 1, together with several suggested designed for Air Raid Shelters for residential districts, flats and small apartment houses. Both Bulletins had been prepared by a committee drawn from the building design and construction industry of the city. Its personnel included members of the American Society of Civil Engineers, The Structural Engineers Association of Northern California, the State Association of California Architects, the San Francisco Society of Architects and the Associated General Contractors. The Committee had profited by a study of the published data on the experiences of bombed communities. With reasonably good construction the designs presented were considered as being able to provide a good measure of protection from most bomb splinters, blasts, falling fragments and machine gun and rifle fire. All bulletins prepared by this Committee exclude detailed reference to protections against incendiary bombs, fire, unsanitary conditions and gas attacks. The Committee considered that construction of any air raid shelter was unwarranted at that time. The data and designs were presented in recognition that the public should know something about the effects of aerial bombing and how best to protect themselves therefrom if and when such protection should appear to be justified. Diagrams of Type 1-A, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 presented. More

Oak Ridge, TN: The League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge, 1961. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Booklet. 32 pages, plus covers. Illustrations. Map. Bibliography. Cover has some wear and soiling. The Oak Ridge League had existed for 13 years and gave advice to the governing officials. However, at the time of publication it had recently become 'self-governing' and had worked toward incorporation. Having helped achieve this, the League decided to take a look at the government. They prepared this handbook to give the citizens a overview of their government. The contents include: The Story of Oak Ridge, Cultural and Educational Resources, City Government, Police, Fire Protection, Public Health, Civil Defense, Public Works, Elections, Voting, Finance, Schools, Recreation, and a few other topics. Oak Ridge is a suburban city in Anderson and Roane counties in the eastern part of the U. S. state of Tennessee, about 25 miles (40 km) west of downtown Knoxville. Oak Ridge's population was 29,330 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Knoxville Metropolitan Area. Oak Ridge's nicknames include the Atomic City, the Secret City, the Ridge, and the City Behind the Fence. Oak Ridge was established in 1942 as a production site for the Manhattan Project—the massive American, British, and Canadian operation that developed the atomic bomb. Being the site of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Y-12 National Security Complex, scientific and technological development still plays a crucial role in the city's economy and culture in general.

Washington DC: U. S, Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 1965. Revised Edition [stated]. Pamphlet. [2], 14 pages. Illustrations. Some wear and staining noted. This was prepared in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission, the Office of Civil Defense, and the U.S. Public Health Service. Most Americans know about the destructive power of atomic and hydrogen bombs and other nuclear weapons. The explosive power of the atomic bombs used in World War II was equivalent to about tons of TNT. Since then, bombs have been developed that have explosive power equivalent to millions of tons of TNT. One of the major parts of the defense plan being developed against nuclear warfare is aimed at reducing potential hazards from radioactive fallout. This handbook describes what is known about the effects of fallout on agriculture and what defensive measures can be taken against them. More
