196644331New York 1966. <p>Berson Solomon A. 1918-72 and Rosalyn Yalow 1921-2011. Insulin in the blood and insulin antibodies. Offprint from The American Journal of Medicine 40 1966. 676-690pp. Text diagrams. 268 x 188 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Light toning but very good. Docketed.</p> <p> First Edition Offprint Issue. Berson and Yalow developed the radioimmunoassay RIA for measuring concentrations of antigens such as hormones in the body. The first hormone they performed RIA on was insulin which had been hitherto difficult to measure in the blood; the RIA technique enabled them to estimate quantities as small as one-trillionth of a gram see Garrison-Morton.com 2578.28 Berson and Yalow's 1960 paper announcing their findings. Yalow shared the 1977 Nobel Prize for her part in developing RIA; had Berson not died in 1972 he also would have been eligible for the award. <p>. unknown books

182718533London: James Ridgway 1827. Disbound. 51 1 blank pp. Small chip to blank inner margin of title page. Very Good. Atkinson continues his attack on England's new policy of Free Trade saying it threatens England's maritime domination and "the root of all our wealth and power." He argues that "the British shipowner can not compete with foreigners without that protection which the Legislature of this country has granted in all former times." Similarly protection for other British industries and agriculture is necessary. Atkinson throws much data around in support of his argument. FIRST EDITION. Sabin 2285. James Ridgway unknown books
182718532London: James Ridgway 1827. Disbound. 63 1 blank pp. Very Good. <br/><br/> Atkinson opposes Free Trade identifying it with the detested French Revolution "an apology for the adoption of the wildest theories." He advocates Protectionism based on Britain's undisputed maritime might "out of which has grown the grandeur of England." Free Trade is destroying West Indian commerce and indeed is a deliberate policy intended for "the overthrow of the landowners" there. In great detail he reviews the state of British commerce with Canada the West Indies and that of its competitors. <br/>FIRST EDITION. Sabin 2285. James Ridgway unknown books

73<p><b>ANDRÉE SALOMON.</b> 1854-1897. Swedish scientist and polar explorer who perished in his attempt to reach the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon. ALS. "<i>S.A. Andree</i>". 1p. 4to. Stockholm October 6 1895. To <b>ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON</b>1853-1937 influential editor of <i>The Century</i> magazine. </p><p>"Your letter of the 10 Sept. is received. I would certainly have estimated it agreeable to do with you as the proposed price is acceptable etc. But I am sorry to say that under the present circumstances I have no time at all for anything but necessary work. Besides I may say that I have so many years experience as a scientific man and as a journalist that I can under no circumstances agree to have the payement sic for my articles depending of discretion. I know how to write such matters and in fact I permit no essential alterations in articles signed by me. The letter sent to the American minister at Stockholm has not been forwarded to me. But I think that a letter addressed to my friend Mr. Ekholm has some days ago been forwarded to him by the minister."</p><p>Trained as a mechanical engineer Andrée first became fascinated by ballooning at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. After participating in the Spitsbergen scientific expedition of 1882-1883 led by Swedish meteorologist <b>Nils Ekholm</b>1949-1923 he published numerous articles in scientific journals on such subjects as electricity and heat while working at the Swedish patent office. </p><p>In 1897 funded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences King Oscar II and Alfred Nobel Andrée attempted to pass over the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon with two other Swedish adventurers. Swept up by the nationalist fervor while planning his attempt to fly over the pole Andrée overlooked several key technical points including the warnings of Ekholm who was initially charged with the expedition's meteorological research. Most damaging as Ekholm predicted was the fact that the balloon leaked hydrogen faster than expected precipitating its crash after only two days aloft and leaving the party to escape the Arctic winter on foot. The fate of Andrée's expedition remained a mystery until the 1930 discovery of their camp on the Norwegian Arctic island of Kvitøya.</p><p>Johnson joined <i>The Century</i>magazine one of the most prominent journals of its day in 1873 serving as associate editor from 1881-1909 and heading the magazine from 1909 to 1913. He was also instrumental in the establishment of international copyright protections for which he was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1891 and the cavaliers of the Crown of Italy in 1895. Among his many prominent friends were the eccentric inventor and electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla and naturalist John Muir with whom he helped establish Yosemite National Park in California. </p><p>Written two years before his own doomed balloon ascension. Creased with some small paper loss along several folds otherwise in very good condition. Scarce.</p><br /> books
