This successful joining of technology and ideology would have taken place sometime; but the shocking truth is that, without the unintentional aid of United States authorities, China's nuclear weapons and the rockets to carry them would not have been built until the late 1970s. "The China Cloud" is the story of how some 80 Chinese aerodynamicists, nuclear physicists, and metal research experts, trained in the United States, were driven from this country on a wave of communist "witch-hunting". It is also the story of how these scientists were welcomed and honored on their return to China and, at great expense to the national economy, were given the materials to make China a nuclear power second only to the USSR and the USA. Of communist China's 200 most eminent scientists, more than three quarters received their training abroad, and of these, the top 80 received their training in America at Caltech, MIT, Harvard, Yale, Michigan, Chicago, California, Colombia, and other universities. There they studied and taught until forced out of their jobs and out of the United States by investigators of the "Communist conspiracy" during the 1940s and early 1950s. Ryan and Summerlin tell in detail the stories of Tsien Hsue-shen, the leading Chinese rocket expert and former Caltech Goddard Professor of Aeronautics, and Chao Chung-yao, deputy director of The Institute for Atomic Energy in China, another Caltech alumnus. Then they take the reader inside communist China for a description of the political and economic cataclysms of the past 10 years; from these upheavals the scientist emerged unscathed to make China an unwelcome member of the nuclear Club. The China Cloud tells how they did it with full assistance from the various "red squads" and federal services of the United States of America.

That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.
