Seller's Description:
Good. [2], 50 pages. Illustrations. Reading List. Cover has some wear and soiling. Ex-library with usual library markings. Some markings blacked out. This is one of The World of the Atom series Both series, "Understanding the Atom" and "The World of the Atom" have the following introduction. Nuclear energy is playing a vital role in the life of every man, woman, and child in the United States today. In the years ahead it will affect increasingly all the peoples of the earth. It is essential that all Americans gain an understanding of this vital force if they are to discharge thoughtfully their responsibilities as citizens and if they are to realize fully the myriad benefits that nuclear energy offers them. For this title the authors state: "We hear a great deal about atomic bombs and the damage they can do. But we hear very little about the peaceful uses of the atom. Even the atomic bomb can be used for peaceful purposes. These uses are important now, and, in the long run, will be very important to you and the other inhabitants of the earth. To understand the many uses of the atom we must look a little more closely into its nature." Samuel Glasstone (May 3, 1897-Nov. 16, 1986) authored over 40 popular textbooks on physical chemistry, reaction rates, nuclear weapons effects, nuclear reactor engineering, Mars, space sciences, the environmental effects of nuclear energy and nuclear testing. One reviewer describe Glasstone as "perhaps one of the best technical writers of the last century." Samuel Glasstone was born on May 3, 1897. He received two doctorates, in 1922 and 1926 (Ph.D. and D. Sc. ), in chemistry at London University. Glasstone discovered the C-H···O interaction in 1937. Perhaps his best known book, co-authored with Philip J. Dolan, was The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, which came out in three editions between 1950 and 1977 (originally titled The Effects of Atomic Weapons). The book, published by the US government, is considered one of the most authoritative texts on the effects of nuclear explosions. S. Joe Thomas was a renown science teacher in New Mexico.
