Re: References - Environmental Impact of Nuclear Weapons

Gus --

You are, I believe, referring to the classis book edited by Samuel 
Glasstone which was originally published about 1950 under the title "The 
Effects of Atomic Weapons" and subsequently revised and repinted as"The 
Effects of Nuclear Weapons" in several versions, the latest of which was, 
if memory serves, about 20 years ago.  Some editions even came with a 
dose calculator (slide rule).  The publication used to be available from 
the GPO and crops up from time to time in used book stores.  If you wish 
more information on any specific edition, write me and I will provide 
same -- can't do so now as my copies are at home and I'm writing this 
from the office.
