San Francisco, CA: U. S. Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory, Biology Branch, 1957. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. iii, 35, [1] pages. UNCLASSIFIED. Ink notation and stamps on front cover. Marked for Internal Use Only Not for External Distribution. Transmittal Memorandum laid in. RARE. Seminal Work. The author was later associated with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This report presents a critical analysis of the current approaches to the problem of estimating radiological effects and then discusses a more unified concept of radiological hazard evaluation which could be applied operationally to the particular situation being considered. An approach to the estimation of radiobiological effects was proposed which eliminated the unwarranted precision suggested in the old formulation and which was readily adaptable as the basis for rendering decision. A system was suggested which tabulated zones of effect considering the present state of knowledge of effects of radiation on man. The surface radiation hazard was similarly discussed and tabulated.

"Ten Seconds" was a factual and chronological account of the events preceding the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. Originally produced as a television special and motion picture in 1963. {may be only an excerpt]. A nuclear and radiation accident is defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency as "an event that has led to significant consequences to people, the environment or the facility." The U.S. military has established a system for mission-specific risk-based dose limits that includes life-saving activities. Patients with medical or traumatic injury who also have whole-body or significant partial-body irradiation (combined injury) have a worse prognosis and will require a higher triage priority.

Baltimore, MD: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1965. Second Printing [stated]. Hardcover. 206, ix, [1] pages. Notes. Index. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Wesley Bagby had been a mainstay of West Virginia University's Department of History for 45 years. Before joining the WVU faculty as an assistant professor in 1956, he taught at Pfeiffer Junior College, Wake Forest University, the University of Tennessee and the University of Maryland. Bagby established a reputation for outstanding scholarship when he published two significant articles and a book, The Road to Normalcy: The Presidential Campaign and Election of 1920, which stamped him as a leading authority on the election of 1920. While continuing to focus much of his research on 20th century U.S. history, Bagby also turned increasing attention to U.S. foreign relations. This produced two major works: The Eagle-Dragon Alliance: Americas Relations with China in World War II published in 1992 and Americas International Relations Since World War I.

Radiation Research, 1962. Reprint from Radiation Research, Volume 16, No. 3, March 1962, pages 253-280. Wraps. 253-280, [4] pages. Tables. Figure. References. Name stamped on front page with ink notation. Ex-library with usual library markings. Ink mark on page 277. Radiation Research, the official journal of the Radiation Research Society, is a peer-reviewed journal covering research into the areas of biology, chemistry, medicine and physics, including epidemiology and translational research at academic institutions, private research institutes, research hospitals and government agencies. The editorial content of Radiation Research is devoted to every aspect of scientific research into radiation. The goal of the Journal is to provide researchers with the latest information in all areas of radiation science. Gilbert Wheeler Beebe (1912 – 2003), was an American epidemiologist and statistician known for monumental studies of radiation-related mortality and morbidity among populations exposed to ionizing radiation from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and the Chernobyl reactor accident in 1986.

Cover has some wear, soiling, tears and chips. Some pages uncut. Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was a Scottish-born scientist, inventor, engineer, and innovator who is credited with inventing and patenting the first practical telephone. He also founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885. Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's work. His research on hearing and speech led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone in 1876. Bell considered his invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist. Other inventions included work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, and aeronautics.

New York: Random House, 1994. Second Printing. Hardcover. 25 cm, 388 pages. Signed by the author. John Berendt (born December 5, 1939) is an American author, known for writing the best-selling non-fiction book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which was a finalist for the 1995 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction. Berendt published Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil in 1994 and became an overnight success; the book spent a record-breaking 216 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list -— still, to this day, the longest standing best seller of the Times. The story, unsettling and real, broke down the idea of the quintessential phenomenon of a true American city—only to reveal its quirks: its man walking an invisible dog; its voice of the drag queen; a high-society man in its elite community—all that somehow, unravels a murder mystery. Virtually seeming like a novel and reading like a tale, the nonfictional story is about the real-life events surrounding the murder trial of Jim Williams in Savannah, Georgia.

c1886. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Format is 5.75 inches by 9 inches. 8 pages. RARE, (Circa 1886). Worn. William Keith Brooks (1848 – 1908) was an American zoologist, born in Cleveland, Ohio. Brooks studied embryological development in invertebrates and founded a marine biological laboratory where he and others studied heredity. His best known book, The Oyster, was first published in 1891 and has been reprinted many times. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Philosophical Society, Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia, the Boston Society of Natural History, the Maryland Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Society of Zoologists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Royal Microscopical Society. He wrote The Law of Heredity in 1883 and this pamphlet may be associated with that work as well as being related to Alexander Graham Bell's work (referenced in this work) for the National Academy of Sciences on a deaf variety of the human race.

Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1956. Reprint. Wraps. This is a reprint from Volume 103, pages 2-6. Color illustrations. References. Stamps and notations on front cover. Minor edge wear on front page. Minor edge tears. James Barrett Brown, MD, (1899-1971) was chairman of Plastic Surgery as the Washington University Medical School in St. Louis from 1955 until 1968. At Washington University, Dr. James Barrett Brown helped introduce the revolutionary concept of using large skin grafts for the treatment of severe burns and described how to make the grafts work. Later, Brown assembled a large team of plastic surgeons to treat wounded veterans returning from World War II, which led to the development of new techniques and strengthened the role of plastic surgeons in reconstruction. The work reported in this article was done in part under the auspices of the Atomic Energy Commission.

At 25 degrees C, the oxygen consumption of the irradiated animals was higher than that of nonirradiated animals by the difference was not significant until the animals were 13 months old. There was no histologic evidence of irradiation injury in sections of the adrenal, the bone marrow, the ear (pinna), the eyes, the kidney, the liver, the lung, the lymph nodes, the peripheral blood, the pituitary, the prostate, the tail, the testis, the thyroid, and the tongue. The Testis was markedly atrophic, chronic pyelonephritis was common and ear lesions appeared in all the 5 degree C animals.
