Best Wishes Admiral Rickover P.S. Give us more and better boats. This book contains sketches by Admiral Rickover relating to the distinguished Americans in whose honor the U.S. Navy Polaris nuclear submarines were named, and was published by the 92d Congress, 2d Session, as House Document No. 92-345. Hyman G. Rickover (January 27, 1900 – July 8, 1986) was an admiral in the U.S. Navy. He directed the original development of naval nuclear propulsion and controlled its operations for three decades as director of the U.S. Naval Reactors office. In addition, he oversaw the development of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station, the world's first commercial pressurized water reactor used for generating electricity. Rickover is also one of four people who have been awarded two Congressional Gold Medals. Rickover is known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy," and his influence on the Navy and its warships was of such scope that he "may well go down in history as one of the Navy's most important officers."

Atomic Suicide?
Swannanoa, Waynesboro, VA: University of Science and Philosophy [Formerly the Walter Russell Foundation], 1957. First Edition [stated] [Limited printing of only 10,000]. Hardcover. xl, 304 pages. Introduction by Lao Russell. Illustrations. Addendum: Non-conformity of the Lee-Yang Theory. DJ is price clipped with wear, tears, soiling and chips. Name of previous owner on fep. Sticker inside the front cover. Walter Bowman Russell (May 19, 1871 – May 19, 1963) was an impressionist American painter (of the Boston School), sculptor, autodidact and author. His lectures and writing place him firmly in the New Thought Movement. Russell wrote extensively on science topics. Born in Boston on May 19, 1871, Russell left school at age 9 and went to work, then put himself through the Massachusetts Normal Art School. He interrupted his fourth year to spend three months in Paris at the Académie Julian. Biographer Glenn Clark identifies four instructors who prepared him for an art career: Albert Munsell and Ernest Major in Boston, Howard Pyle in Philadelphia, and Jean-Paul Laurens in Paris. Russell's rise in New York was immediate; a reporter wrote in 1908, "Mr. Russell came here from Boston and at once became a great artistic success." Walter Russell's careers as an illustrator, correspondent in the Spanish–American War, child portrait painter and builder are detailed in several questionnaires he answered and submitted to Who's Who in America. At age 29, he attracted widespread attention with his allegorical painting The Might of Ages in 1900. The painting represented the United States at the Turin international exhibition and won several awards. More
