Seller's Description:
Good. Fair. DJ has some wear and soiling, with small tears and chips. 209, [3] p. illus. (part col. ), facsimiles, map, ports. 22 cm. The author was considered one of the two or three world's experts in Pulmonary Pathology (and generally recognized as the premier pulmonary pathologist in the U.S.). ◦ During his time at the Yale Unit in the South Pacific, he compiled elegant studies of cutaneous diphtheria that made specific treatment possible for a form of "jungle rot" (a major problem in the South Pacific war theatre). Wrote a major book called: "Encounter with Disaster: Medical Diary of Hiroshima" (1945). He and S. Oughterson and Shields Warren, as part of the United States Atomic Bomb Causality Commission, were sent immediately (September 1945) to survey Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan after the bombing and surrender of Japan to study the devastation and the subsequent irradiation sickness.
