About this Item

First Edition (NAP). From the title page: 'Arlie House, Arlie, Virgina 2-5 April 1978. Biophysical Journal October 1978- Volume 24, Number 1.' Once listed, this will be the Only copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. The book is in very nice condition. The covers have very little wear, just a bit of bending/wrinkling at the spine ends. The red lettering on the front cover and spine is very bright. The covers are quite clean, only a few tiny spots (see photos). The interior of the book looks pretty much perfect. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling. I'm not seeing any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The pages are very bright. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover. The covers are solidly bound as well. I purchased this book from a relative of the b front and didn't you iophysicist Sydney Soloway, although he did not write his name in the book. Here's some information about him in case someone has an interest: He got his Ph.D. at Harvard University in June, 1950, subsequent to his World War II service with the 4th Marine Division overseas. During the early part of WW II, he taught radar to assorted military personnel at Harvard. Unfrozen for a single day from his secure teaching position, he promptly enlisted in the Marine Corps and was sent overseas as a Radar and Communications Officer. Prepared for the first wave of the planned invasion of Japan, he and his unit were saved when the atomic bomb was dropped. His first position after graduate school involved him in a research project on gout which led to his and his coworkers' discovery of the cause of and cure of gout (with the drug colchicine). Lured to Connecticut by Schlumberger Well Surveying Company, his work resulted in a vastly improved research tool for testing to determine the presence of oil. From then on, however, all his work, whether in Pittsburgh, Chicago, or Connecticut, was in medical instrumentation, notably in the development of ultrasound. In retirement, until his death, his concerns for harnessing radioactive substances led to published papers and patents on the ability to diminish the half-life of radioactive substances through the use of appropriate photon frequencies.

Store Description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
