Description:
Original stiff paper covers. (16)730pp Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer in rear packet, with sheet. Index. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾". A near-fine copy now Mylar protected. In order to anticipate the physical damage and personal injuries that would result from a nuclear attack, and thus to encourage emergency responders and public officials to prepare themselves, numerous federal agencies joined together in 1957 to release information about the energy released in a nuclear explosion. An updated report was completed in 1962. Chemist and technical writer Samuel Glasstone (1897 1986) guided both efforts, as well as a third revision (with Philip J. Dolan) that appeared in 1977. This 1962 edition has a pocket at the back for a Nuclear Bomb Effects Computer, a circular slide rule that allowed users to make computations of blast effects, given various combinations of conditions based on data from the book.
