He Discovered A Correlation Between Tree Rings And The Sunspot Cycle And Founded The Discipline Of Dendrochronology Which Is A Method Of Dating Wood By Analyzing The Growth Ring Pattern. He Started His Discoveries In This Field In 1894 When He Was Working At The Lowell Observatory. During This Time He Was An Assistant To Percival Lowell But Fell Out With Him When His Experiments Made Him Doubt The Existence Of Artificial "Canals" On Mars And Visible Spokes On Venus. After Douglass's Analysis Of Results From The Third Beam Expedition In 1929 For The First Time In History Dates Could Be Assigned To Southwestern Ruins With Certainty. Cliff Dwelling At Tsegi Canyon Mesa Verde And Canyon De Chelly Dated Back To The 13Th Century. It Was Determined That Aztec Ruin Was Constructed During A Period Ranging From 1111 To 1120. Pueblo Bonito Was Found To Be Built In The Latter Portion Of The 11Th Century. Douglass Returned To The University Of Arizona Where He Became The First Person To Formally Teach Classes In Dendrochronology. In 1937 Douglass Established The Laboratory Of Tree-Ring Research At The University Of Arizona. The A.E.

Titles: 1 'Our Earth in Space'; 2 'Dreams of other Worlds'; 3 'Rockets into Space'; 4 'Man-made Moons'; 5 'Man in Space'; 6 'Space Research and Ourselves'; 7 'Contact with the Moon'; 8 '"One small Step . . . ."'; 9 'Space Stations and Lunar Bases'; 10 'Mariners to Mars'; 11 'Into the Hot Regions'; 12 'The Grand Tour'; 13 'Flight to the Stars'. With a few manuscript emendations by Moore in black felt-tip pen and other editorial emendations. TWO: Version of Item One substantially rewritten for publication. 79pp. folio. On loose leaves. Titles: 1 'Men and the Stars'; 2 'Watchers of the Stars'; 3 'The Sun's Family'; 4 'The Moon World'; 5 'Our Neighbour Planets'; 6 'Giants of the Solar System'; 7 'Wanderers in Space'; 8 'Our Star - The Sun'; 9 'Other Suns'; 10 'Stars of Many Kinds'; 11 'Gas Clouds and Island Universes'; 12 'Beginnings and Endings'; 13 'Life Elsewhere' THREE: Typed 'Foreword' to Item Two by 'Patrick Moore Selsey 1972.' With extensive autograph emendations. The second paragraph of three reads: 'The SABC English Service had invited me to make a short series of broadcasts. This was followed later by a second series; and after that it was suggested that I should present regular weekly broadcasts on astronomical topics. There have been many requests for copies of these talks and the present book has grown out of them. Obviously they have been modified and some of the essentially topical but now outdated references have been removed; but I hope they present a varied and perhaps historical account of events during 1972 a momentous year in astronomical progress.' FOUR to EIGHT: Five Typed Letters Signed all 'Patrick' from Moore to 'Dear David' - H. David Lloyd of the South African Boradcasting Corporation Johannesburg. Totalling six pages. The correspondence concerns the preparation of the talks for publication. In the first letter 11 November 1972 he writes: 'I dropped everything and did my best. I have amended the articles to make them untopical . I have added a Foreword and I have managed to scrape up a picture for each talk.' On 27 November 1972 he writes that he is 'off to America on Monday for Apollo 17 but have arranged two sessions at the BBC this week before I go. I will therefore be well ahead. Wish I could do one direct from Cape kennedy; but it's too risky'. A letter of 15 January 1973 largely devoted to the 'mystery' of tapes of talks despatched by the BBC which have not arrived in South Africa has as postscript: 'Forgive typing. I am used to a 1908 machine and the BBC one is modern!' On 23 January 1973 he asks if anything came of 'the book of the talks As you know I rushed it through before I went to America in December because I gathered it was needed before Christmas; but I haven't heard another thing!! I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know; and if you are NOT publishing them after all I'd be glad to have them back because someone else is very interested in doing them Reid's.' In the last letter 5 February 1973 he discusses the talks expresses relief at the arrival of the tapes and pleasure at the news about the book. He concludes: 'I do hope to see you again this year. I have the pleasantest possible memories of South Africa!' NINE: Autograph Card Signed 'P' by Moore. 11 November 1972. With his Farthings letterhead.

200767231Washington DC: The National Academies Press 2007. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Good. Typed letter signed by the two Co-Chairs John Ahearne and Stuart Freedman laid in. Rear cover creased. xii 140 8 p. Occasional footnotes. Illustrations some with cover. Glossary. Author continues: "Rare-Isotope Science Assessment Committee." Over ten years ago U.S. nuclear scientists proposed construction of a new rare isotope accelerator in the United States which would enable experiments to elucidate the important questions in nuclear physics. To help assess this proposal DOE and NSF asked the NRC to define the science agenda for a next-generation U.S. Facility for Rare Isotope Beams FRIB. As the study began DOE announced a substantial reduction in the scope of this facility and put off its initial operation date by several years. The study focused on an evaluation of the science that could be accomplished on a facility reduced in scope. This report provides a discussion of the key science drivers for a FRIB an assessment of existing domestic and international rare isotope beams an assessment of the current U.S. position about the FRIB and a set of findings and conclusions about the scientific and policy context for such a facility. From Wikipedia: "The Facility for Rare Isotopes Beams FRIB is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science DOE-SC national user facility supporting the mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB will produce large quantities of a wide variety of rare isotopes by breaking stable nuclei into rare isotopes enabling scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes in order to better understand the physics of nuclei nuclear astrophysics fundamental interactions and applications for society. The project is funded by DOE-SC Michigan State University and the State of Michigan and is being designed and established by MSU with construction expected to begin on campus in 2013. It will adjoin and upon commencement of operations subsume the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory NSCL at Michigan State University. Currently final design of the FRIB conventional facilities the tunnel and support buildings is complete and ready for construction to begin upon approval from the U.S. Department of Energy. Pre-construction site preparation is complete and pilings for the earth-retention system have been placed. Research and development activities have been successfully completed with much of the R&D work accomplished in collaboration with national laboratories. Final design of the technical systems accelerator and experimental equipment is underway and anticipated to be complete in 2014. Project completion is expected in 2021 managing to early completion in 2019. Across the state of Michigan business and political leaders have called for continued funding of FRIB in support of scientific discovery innovation and economic impact. Articles and editorials are available on the FRIB project web site. FRIB is expected to provide research opportunities for an international community of approximately 1000 university and laboratory scientists postdoctoral associates and graduate students. FRIB will provide researchers with the technical capabilities to study the properties of rare isotopes and to put this knowledge to use in various applications including in materials science nuclear medicine and the fundamental understanding of nuclear material important to nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship. More than 20 working groups specializing in experimental equipment and scientific topics have been organized through the FRIB Users Organization. Based on the analyses and recommendations over the last decade DOE-SC determined that the establishment of a Facility for Rare Isotope Beams FRIB is a high priority for the future of U.S. nuclear science research. This determination and supporting rationale are reflected in the DOE/ National Science Foundation Nuclear Science Advisory Committee s 2007 Long Range Plan and the 2003 DOE report Facilities for the Future of Science: A Twenty-Year Outlook. DOE-SC announced the selection of Michigan State University to design and establish FRIB on December 11 2008 after a rigorous merit review. The National Academies Press paperback
