39pp., small 4to. Stud-bound in brown card printed wraps. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with crease to front cover, to which the enamel badge is also attached, beside the ownership signature of 'E J Sayer' (Downing Street secretary Elizabeth Sayer, later Cooper.). First page dated in pencil '8th Sept', and pencil note in text of the 'permitted dose' of radiation. At head of front cover: 'ESTACIDVOL Code 5-96-0', and at foot: 'RESTRICTED | The information given in this document is not to be communicated, either directly or indirectly, to the Press or to any person not authorised to receive it.' Printed inside the front cover: 'The accompanying notes have been prepared for your guidance. Additional information is contained in the Home Office Civil Defence Training Manuals which may be obtained on loan through your Instructor.' Divided into the main sections: Civil Defence Organisation; Fire Fighting; High Explosive Missiles; Atomic Warfare; Biological Warfare; Chemical Warfare; Protective Measures. Also present is a full-page 'Civil Defence Report Form'. The first section begins: 'Civil Defence is the responsibility of the Central Government and needs the assistance of Local Authorities, Industry and public bodies of many kinds. It includes all measures short of actual combat necessary to mitigate the effects of enemy attack.' The 'Atomic Warfare' section is divided into four subsections: Features of Atomic Explosion; Delayed Radiation Risks; Radiation Sickness; Individual Dosimeter. The enamel badge is roughly 2.5 x 2cm, and features red and blue enamel on brass. It consists of a crown topping a circle, the latter having an image of a lion surrounded by a blue border with 'I.C.D.S.'

Not Bound. Etat : Very Good. Manuscript. One page, hand-written in ink on International Atomic Energy Agency Vienna letterhead; dated April 7, 1975 to friends, concerning their coming trip to Europe and where to visit: "We have visited Budapest and enjoyed it very much. Instead of Dubrovnik you might want to consider Bulgaria. Those who are in the know around here seem to feel Jugoslavia has gotten expensive with poor service to the touristwe can't really recommend Vienna in the summer. Another nice place you would like in Hungary is Tihany on Lake Balaton. Also in Budapest it is possible to stay in private homes rather than hotels. It is more interesting and much cheaper" and signed "Eli & Ailene"; approx. 8 ¼" x 11 ¾" size, old fold lines, a little edge-wear, with the original canceled airmail envelope, also with the Agency imprint; Eli I. Goodman (1929 - 2005) American nuclear engineer and consultant; researcher in nuclear engineering, fuel cycle and waste disposal, computerization of complex economic calculations, domestic and international high-technology transfer.

Manila card wrapper containing three sets of notes in typescript and ink. 1. A 16 page list of nuclear energy terminology from lessons on terminolgy, in Chinese characters and English. 21 x 17.5 cm. 2. A 4 page list of Chinese aeronautical terminogy marked "Secret" in a mixture of romanisations and English. 34 x 21.2cm. 3. A 4 page list of conversion tables for speeds and altitudes in kilometres, metres, feet and knots. Card wrapper chipped at fold, repaired with archival paper. All lists browned and creased, conversion tables half a page removed, where it states "Do not remove". 34 x 21.2cm. Text in English, traditional Chinese characters and romanisation. Some wear and browning, card folder torn and repaired. An interesting working collection. An intriguing undated collection relating to aeronautical training and the development of nuclear capabilities, most likely in Taiwan in the 1960s. The list of nuclear terminology refers to a 1948 glossary issued by the United Nations, and concludes with a short discussion relating to the organisation of bomber air wings titled 'New Rifle Section'. Said rifles are noted as "TSMG" - presumably Thompson submachine guns, though these would have most likely been deliberately phased out of the ROC's arsenal by the 1950s. Although the presence of English translations and Wade-Giles transcriptions seems to strongly lend preference to the collection's relation to the Kuomintang regime, the implicit connection between nuclear arms, air power, and anachronistic Tommy guns has clouded a more comprehensive understanding of the collection. A potential trove for a sufficiently motivated researcher.…

(London, Taylor and Francis, 1866 a. 1877. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions", Vol. 156 - Part II a. vol. 167 - Part I. Pp. 781-859 a. pp. 35-116. Clean and fine. First appearance of both papers, controversial as Brodie here tries to established a new chemical philosophy, refusing atomism and founding the calculation of chemical processes on Boolean Algebra, defining chemical symbols with mathematical terms and notations. The work is a remarkable attempt to set chemistry on a rational deductive basis. - The introduction in the second paper meets the main points raised by his critics."In 1866 the Royal Society began to publish Brodie?s "The Calculus of Chemical Operations" (Philosophical Transactions, 156 [1866], 781-859" 167 [1877], 35-116) which introduced Greek symbols for the chemical elements to replace the roman alphabet (Berzelian) symbols that contemporary chemists used to represent atomic weights. Brodie?s symbols, however, represented operations on space (volumes), not weights for, besides its revolutionary symbolism, the calculus also demanded an appreciation of George Boole?s algebraic logic, which Brodie had studied after the publication of Boole?s Investigation of the Laws of Thought in 1854. In this an equation such as y = xy is a symbolic statement that y is a subset of x in which the symbol x is an operator on y. Although professional mathematicians like William Donkin and Henry Smith later advised Brodie, it appears that he developed the system without professional help. The principal difficulty about the calculus for the present-day historian and philosopher of science is the need to explain it before going on to discuss it and the difficulty of giving any concise description of it. Boole had developed the concept of symbolic operators in algebraic analysis. These provided a code as to how the symbols were to be understood and manipulated. Brodie exploited this in the idea of a chemical operator, or chemical operations, that he symbolized by Greek letters. It is probably unwise, therefore, to interpret Brodie?s philosophy as analogous to Percy Bridgman?s later operationism. He proposed that if two substances with the empirically-derived weights, x and y combined to form a new compound with weight xy, then x + y = xy. From such weight equations he constructed a symbolic algebra that bypassed any atomistic interpretation."(William H. Brock in "Hyle Biography").…
