Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. On offer are notes and a journal of one of the world s preeminent pathologists, Dr. William Ian Beardmore (WIB) Beveridge (1908-2006) , known as "the man who found the cause of the great epidemic". Beveridge identified the origin of the world-wide Spanish Influenza epidemic of 1918-19…19. [SEE BIO NOTES AT END OF LISTING]. The journal is a record of two time periods that WIB spent in the United States. The larger section describes a road trip that Beveridge took with his family in the United States, after relocating there from Australia. The smaller portion describes another trip taken following a conference he attended. Tipped into the journal are handwritten speaking notes from a 1951 academic address he gave at Oxford University on "The Art of Research" and a 1956 academic address he gave at Cambridge University called "How Discoveries Are Made". There is also a photograph and some foreign exchange documents connected to his travel expenses. These presentations outline the thought processes of one of the great medical research minds of his time. The first part of the diary begins June 1, 1938, where he notes that he "Left Princeton" and indicates that he, his wife and his son, John, are traveling with him. His professional interests are never far from hand as he takes time to visit labs or universities. He visits the Connecticut State Serum Labs on June 10. On June 14 he spends the day in Fort Collins, CO and the "morning at Vet School talking to Dr. Newsom. After lunch saw Vet Hospital very good but small". On July 22, he visits UC Berkeley, where he sees the agricultural department and tours the campus. He found Berkeley to have, "fine buildings and grounds but not large12,000 students who attend". The next day, WIB drives to the Davis campus to meet, "Dr. Cameron at the Animal Health section of the Agric. Faculty of Univ of Calif. ". On Sept 12, WIB visits Cornell University: "Saw Dean WA Hagan and sawnew Moore buildingalso met Duhes the physiologist and Al the pathologist and others. This place seems more devoted to teaching than research". On Sept 14 he visited Yale, on the 15th, Princeton. He comments on those he met and what he observed at both. In 1939, WIB picks up again in June, detailing another trip. At the back of the diary are an additional collection of pages from Fall of 1939, where WIB discusses attending a conference on Microbials and his activities afterward, being another road trip in the USA. Beveridge is a great diarist, giving the reader intelligent insight into his journey, describing in detail everything from the topography he views on hikes to his perspectives on the cities he visits. He travels widely across the USA, goes into Mexico briefly, and spends some time in Western Canada as he makes his way back east. He is an intelligent traveler, making time for interesting stops such as a tour at a Ford plant in Detroit. A couple excerpts give the flavour: "Took recently opened scenic coast route (made Pat sick! ). Very fine road along mountainside which rises straight from the sea. Country fairly barren - dry grass but somegreen trees till Big Sur where we saw our first Redwoods all along the coast from S. Barbara. Often foggy and cool to cold off and on all day. Passed through Salinas just as the big rodeo was closing and went all traffic. Night at San Jose" [July 17, 1938]. "Went into Chicago and did some shopping at Marshal and Fields then left town about 4: 30pm. Hot muggy day today although weather has been cool lately - cold last four nights. Traffic out of town very heaty. Drive through 2 or 3 miles of negro residential area - all negros. Night at Michigan City at Hotel" [Sept 6, 1938]. The final item in this small collection is an undated photograph of four men - obviously friends and possibly colleagues walking along a path. We believe one of the individuals shown is William Beveridge. The photograph has no annotations. [Abe word limit reached, contact seller for rest of listing]. Signed by Author(s).
