Kauzmann's work on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in 1944-45 contributed to the successful development of the atomic bomb, nicknamed "Fat Man," which incinerated Nagasaki, and was soon followed by Japan's capitulation.

Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Text in English and Japanese. [6], 44 (with facing color illustrations), (9) pages. Glossary. Name in ink on title page. Slight cover wear. Format is approximately 7.25 inches by 10 inches. Includes Greetings from Shigefumi Matsuzasa, Governor of Kanagawa Prefecture. By the end of 1945, the atomic bombings of Japan had killed an estimated 140,000 people at Hiroshima and 74,000 at Nagasaki, including those who died from radiation poisoning. Often lost in those numbers are the experiences of the survivors, known as hibakusha (literally "atomic bomb-affected people"). Since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan has been a world leader in the anti-nuclear movement. This movement was also prompted in part by American hydrogen bomb tests in the Marshall Islands in 1954. During the Castle Bravo test, the largest ever conducted by the United States, fallout reached a Japanese fishing boat named Daigo Fukury Maru or "Fifth Lucky Dragon," located 80 miles east of the test site.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. H.G. WELLS, The World Set Free. MacMillan and Company, 1914, London. First edition. 286Pp, (2), 8pp. Ribbed cloth. FINE copy. "In a novel written on the eve of World War I, H. G. Wells imagines a war to end all wars that begins in atomic apocalypse but ends in an enlightened utopia. Writing in 1913, on the eve of World War I's mass slaughter and long before World War II's mushroom cloud finale, H. G. Wells imagined a war that begins in atomic apocalypse but ends in a utopia of enlightened world government. Set in the 1950s, Wells' neglected novel The World Set Free describes a conflict so horrific that it actually is the war that ends war. Wells the first to imagine a uranium-based bomb offers a prescient description of atomic warfare that renders cities unlivable for years: Whole blocks of buildings were alight and burning fiercely, the trembling, ragged flames looking pale and ghastly and attenuated in comparison with the full-bodied crimson glare beyond. Drawing on discoveries by physicists and chemists of the time, Wells foresees both a world powered by clean, plentiful atomic energy and the destructive force of the neutron chain reaction. With a cast of characters including Marcus Karenin, the moral center of the narrative; Firmin, a proto-Brexiteer; and Egbert, the visionary young British monarch, Wells dramatizes a world struggling for sanity. Wells' supposedly happy ending a planetary government presided over by European men may not appeal to contemporary readers, but his anguish at the world's self-destructive tendencies will strike a chord."--from the MIT bookstore site. 714.3.…
