Ex-libris Audrey & Berlyn Brixner of Los Alamos, New Mexico, with their bookplate on the front pastedown. Berlyn Brixner (1911-2009) was the head photographer for the Manhattan Project's Trinity Test, the first detonation of a nuclear (plutonium fission) weapon. Brixner's work using cameras to photograph the implosion method showed the physicists that they had erred in their calculations, and he captured photographs and films of other explosions and the dropping of dummy bombs to help the scientists better understand the science and physics behind them. A comprehensive study of the history, purpose, and construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The author, English astronomer Richard A. Proctor (1837-1888), is most known for having produced one of the earliest maps of Mars.
