[Signed] [First Edition] The Cutter Incident. How America's First Polio Vaccine Led to the Growing Vaccine Crisis. SIGNED BY PAUL OFFIT TO NOBEL [Signed] [First Edition] The Cutter Incident. How America's First Polio Vaccine Led to the Growing Vaccine Crisis. SIGNED BY PAUL OFFIT TO NOBEL 185.18 CAD xii, 238 pp; illustrations. Original cloth. Near Fine, in dust jacket. First Edition. SIGNED BY PAUL OFFIT TO NOBEL LAUREATE THOMAS H. WELLER: "To Tom,/ Thanks again for all of your insights/ into this tragedy./ I m not sure I could have written/ this book without you./ All best wishes/ Paul A. Offit/ September, 2005." This copy does not have any ownership marking in it, but I know "Tom" is Thomas H. Weller because the book, as well as other items owned by Weller that do have his name written in them, were acquired by me from the family after Weller's death in 2008. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1954 was awarded jointly to John Franklin Enders, Thomas Huckle Weller and Frederick Chapman Robbins "for their discovery of the ability of poliomyelitis viruses to grow in cultures of various types of tissue." In the book on pp. 80 and 130, Offit quotes Weller's negative views, which were shared by others who are also quoted by Offit, that Jonas Salk was not a good scientist, never having been elected to the National Academy of Sciences nor awarded the Nobel Prize. However Offit expresses his own contrary view that "although not appreciated by many scientists, Salk made several important conceptual and technological advances that led to one of the greatest public heath achievements of our time" (p. 131). As a footnote, I would note that Salk, and Stephen Hawking, are probably the two persons most cited by the media as having received a Nobel Prize who did NOT receive the Prize. Quoting Wikipedia about the "Cutter Incident": "On April 12, 1955, following the announcement of the success of the polio vaccine trial, Cutter Laboratories became one of several companies that was recommended to be given a license by the United States government to produce Salk's polio vaccine. In anticipation of the demand for vaccine, the companies had already produced stocks of the vaccine and these were issued once the licenses were signed. In what became known as the Cutter incident, some lots of the Cutter vaccine--despite passing required safety tests--contained live polio virus in what was supposed to be an inactivated-virus vaccine. Cutter withdrew its vaccine from the market on April 27 after vaccine-associated cases were reported. The mistake produced 120,000 doses of polio vaccine that contained live polio virus. Of children who received the vaccine, 40,000 developed abortive poliomyelitis (a form of the disease that does not involve the central nervous system), 56 developed paralytic poliomyelitis--and of these, five children died from polio. The exposures led to an epidemic of polio in the families and communities of the affected children, resulting in a further 113 people paralyzed and 5 deaths. The director of the microbiology institute lost his job, as did the equivalent of the assistant secretary for health. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Oveta Culp Hobby stepped down. William H. Sebrell Jr, the director of the NIH, resigned."

He then offers expert strategies for counterattack - from constructing the ideal approach shot to taking advantage of the wind and playing across water. For beginners, Golf by Design is an indispensable introduction to a course's most rigorous challenges, providing invaluable insights into all of the basic, crucial elements of strategy and technique. Golf by Design will teach the sophisticated player and the seasoned pro exactly what they need to know to lower their handicap and permanently improve their game.

It is a not-to-be-missed guide to mastering one of the world's best-loved pastimes." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Robert Trent Jones, Jr., is the distinguished designer of more than 150 golf courses around the world and has been called "the father of modern environmental golf course architecture."

Includes List of Other Books by Glenn Beck; Acknowledgments; How To Use This Book and Citations. Profusely illustrated with color drawings and a color photographic frontispiece. Signed by the author, Glenn Beck, with thick black Sharpie/marker at the center of a specially bound preliminary page by the publisher. "Funny. Frightening. True. It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes. Just go away! you think to yourself -- but they only become more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. You can't get away. Your only hop is . this book. Glenn Beck, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's Common Sense, has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths but small minds: knowing the facts. And this book if full of them. The next time your Idiot Frinds tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they tell you that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time an idiot tells you that vegetable prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll stop saying "no, they won't" and you'll start saying, "actually, eliminating all illegal labor will cause us to spend just $8 a year more on produce." (see page 139). Idiots can't be identified through voting records, they can be found only by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate weapon: the truth." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Inscribed First Rare Revised Edition (1951) 8vo.,282 pp. In the original black cloth boards with decorations of the wolf's head surrounded by vegetables stamped green at the bottom cover and with titles stamped green at the spine. This copy in near fine condition with some aging and minor marking on the cloth. Housed in a Very Good+ bright mustard dust jacket with the original price of $3.00 intact. Chip to the crown of the spine and left front. A handsome copy of the author's scarce third and revised book. Inscribed to "Francis Spain My best MFK Fisher 12.8.51" on the title page. Fisher added reflective marginal notes but also included new recipes to suit the postwar reality. While the original 1942 edition focused heavily on making do with scarcity (ration cards, substitutions, and minimal meat), the 1951 version acknowledges the gradual return of abundance and modifies the culinary advice accordingly. She didn't rewrite the entire book, but rather commented on her earlier ideassometimes with irony, sometimes with approval. These margin notes offer insight into how her thinking (and the context) had changed in the near-decade since the original. Introduction to the Revised Edition by M.F.K. Fisher (1951) "Certain it is, however, that in less than ten years this bookabout living as decently as possible with the ration cards and blackouts and like miseries of World War IIhas assumed some of the characteristics of quaintness. It has become, in short, in so short a time, a kind of period piece. Of course, it is difficult, in spite of the obvious changes in our physical problems since How to Cook a Wolf was first published in 1942, to say truthfully and exactly when we are at war. Now we are free of ration cards. No more blue and red tokens, no more flimsy stamps to tear outor not tear outfor meats, too precious to buy. We can buy as much porterhouse and bourbon and powdered sugar as our purses will allowgiven the rise of almost one hundred percent in the cost of such gastronomical amenities. We need not worry, temporarily at least, about blackouts and bare cupboards. while at the same time we try not to think, even superficially, about what and when and how and where to nourish survivors of the next kind of bomb. Thus stated, the case for Peace is feeble." An extremely good copy, rarely encountered.

An accomplished chemist, Herschel discovered the action of hyposulfite of soda on otherwise insoluble silver salts in 1819, which led to the use of "hypo" as a fixing agent in photography. In 1839, independently of William Henry Fox Talbot Herschel also invented a photographic process using sensitized paper. It was Herschel who coined the use of the terms in photography, of positive and negative to refer to photographic images. In 1820 he became a founding member of the Royal Astronomical Society. From 1833 until 1838, his astronomical investigations brought him and his family to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, where he met Julia Margaret Cameron, who became a lifelong friend. In 1850 Herschel was appointed Master of the Mint, but he resigned 6 years later due to poor health. His remaining years were spent working on his catalogues of double stars and of nebulae and star clusters. MORE IMAGES ATTACHED TO THIS LISTING, ALL ZOOMABLE, FURTHER IMAGES ON REQUEST.

"I fell in love with this hauntng, futuristic world and the sisters searching for each other in it. Joan He's words will stay with you long after the final page." - Marie Lu, author. "In a climate-ravaged future, the love between two sisters is the only hope for humanity's future. This is sci-fi at its best: floating cities, kindness, and desert islands!" - Lauren James, author. "It's been three years and seventeen days since Cee woke up on the shore of an abandoned island. She has no idea how she came to be marooned or what her life was like before. She has only the rickety house by the sea, the android she built for company, and a single memory: Somewhere beyond the horizon, she has a sister, and it's up to Cee to escape the island and find her. A world away, sixteen-year-old STEM prodigy Kasey is also looking to escape - from the science she once believed in and from her home. The eco-cities, Earth's last unpolluted habitats, are meant to be a sanctuary for those from deserving lineages, for those committed to planetary protection, but instead they're populated by people willing to do anything for refuge - even lie. After a series of man-made disasters rock the planet, Kasey must decide if she's ready to use science to help humanity, even though it failed the people who mattered most to her. From Joan He, the critically acclaimed author of Descendant of the Crane, comes a stunning science fiction novel with mind-blowing twists." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Signed and inscribed by the author, Roger Stone, with thick black Sharpie on the half title page. "Roger's a good guy. He is a patriot and believes in a strong nation, and a lot of the things that I believe in." -- President Donald J. Trump. "Stone has been a colorful and at times maligned figure in the Republican Party who relishes political combat and playing a role in causing or exposing unseemly scandals." -- Washington Post. "Stone is one of the best-know -- and best-dressed -- political insiders in New York." -- Breitbart dot com. "Watching Stone is like watching a well-dressed cobra at rest." -- Esquire. "Possibly The Most Dangerous Man In Politics." -- MSN dot com. "Trump without Stone is akin to George W. Bush without Karl Rove or Barack Obama without David Axelrod." -- National Review. "What makes Stone such a tour de force is his ability to impact the campaigns of both candidates." -- Redstate dot com. "Stone is one of the best sources in Washington for 'inside dirt' ". -- Slate dot com. "In the traditon of Theodore White's landmark books, the definitive look at how Donald J. Trump Shocked the world by winning the 2016 election. From Roger Stone, a New York Times bestselling author, longtime political adviser and friend to Donald Trump, and consummate Republican strategist, comes the first in-depth examination of how Trump's campaign tapped into the national mood to deliver a stunning victory that almost no one saw coming. In the early hours of November 9, 2016, one of the most contentious, polarizing, and vicous presidential races came to an abrupt and unexpected end when heavily favored predisential hopeful Hillary Clinton called Donald J. Trump to concede, shocking a nation that had, only hours before, givein little credence to his chances. Donald Trump pulled the greatest upset in American political history despite a torrent of invective and dismissal of the mainstream media. Here is the first definitive explanation about how the "silent majority" shifted the election to Donald Trump in reliable Democratic Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, thus handing him the presidency. Stone, a long-time Trump retainer and confidant, gives us the inside story of how Donald Trump almost single-handedly harnessed discontent among "Forgotten Americans" while running a guerrilla-style grassroots campaign to compete with the smooth-running and free-spending Clinton political machine. The Making of the President 2016 reveals how Trump brilliantly picked at Hillary Clinton's weaknesses, particularly her reputation as a crooked insider, and ignited the passions of out-of-work white men and women from the Rust Belt and beyond, at a...
