No highlighting. No margin notes. Illustrated with map line drawings and 4 photographic plates. Table. Reprinted for the Club from the AMERICAN MINERALOGIST 1919. From the text: "Bergen Hill is about 19 kilometers 12 miles long and 1.6 kilometers 1 mile wide comprising a range of bluffs of Triassic diabase. It commences at Bergen Point and runs behind Jersey City and Hoboken to a point in Weehawken about opposite Thirty-fifth Street in New York City. Here it comes close to the Hudson River and continues north for some 29 kilometers 18 miles to Piermont being known as the Palisades. The Bergen Hill region has long been noted as a locality for zeolites and associated minerals. When the announcement was made that the Erie Railroad Company had begun the construction of an open cut thru the hill local collectors interested in mineralogy looked forward to the collecting of fine specimens. This interest was fully justified from the history of past borings thru Bergen hill. Among the zeolites and related minerals found were: stilbite laumontite gmelinite analcite natrolite apophyllite pectolite and datolite and of common occurrence with these were quartz calcite pyrite chalcopyrite sphalerite and diabantite. While the minerals from the extrusive basalts of West Peterson Great Notch and Upper Montclair are found in cavernous openings amygdules vugs etc. the Bergen Archways minerals were confined to veins. Prehnite heulandite and thomsonite found so abundantly at the former localities were not noted tho Dana lists these minerals from Bergen Hill. A brief description of minerals found by the writer follows." This copy is from the library of scientist and author Robert B. Sosman with his tiny ink stamp.

Bibliography of Space Studies Board Planetary Sciences Reports. Cover has wear and soiling. An Integrated Strategy for the Planetary Sciences: 1995-2010 explains that a responsive planetary exploration program demands a mix of mission sizes ranging from comprehensive missions with multiple objectives such as Galileo and Cassini to small missions with highly constrained scientific objectives. 2 At the same time The Role of Small Missions in Planetary and Lunar Exploration concluded that a series of small missions present "the planetary science community with the opportunity to expand the scope of its activities and to develop the potential and inventiveness of its members in ways not possible within the confines of large traditional programs." In 1992 the National Research Council's Space Studies Board charged its Committee on Planetary and Lunar Exploration to: 1 summarize current understanding of the planets and the solar system; 2 pose significant scientific questions; and 3 establish priorities for scientific exploration of the planets for the period from 1995 to 2010. The scientific goals of solar system exploration include: 1 understanding how physical and chemical processes determine the major characteristics of the planets; 2 learning how planetary systems evolve; 3 determining how life developed particularly on Earth and in what ways life modifies planetary environments; and 4 discovering how simple basic laws of physics and chemistry can lead to the diverse phenomena observed in complex systems. COMPLEX maintains that the most useful programs to emphasize in the period from 1995 to 2010 are investigations of comets Mars and Jupiter and an intensive search for and characterization of extrasolar planets.

Includes illustrations. Title continues: "Physics and Astronomy Panel on the Assessment of Inertial Confinement Fusion Targets. This prepublication copy was embargoed for release until Wednesday February 20 2013 at 11: 00 a.m. EST. From a National Academies internet posting: "The energy produced by nuclear fusion has the potential to provide a low-carbon base-load source of electricity; however significant scientific and engineering efforts are still required before the feasibility of a commercial fusion plant can be established. Initiating fusion based upon magnetic confinement and inertial confinement of the fusion plasma have been studied for decades. In inertial confinement fusion ICF a driver delivers energy to the surface of a pellet of fuel heating and compressing it. There are many approaches for initiation fusion using inertial confinement. For example different driver concepts have very different operating conditions and characteristics. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each approach is central to the effort to develop IFE as a power source. Given the current level of activity in ICF research now is an appropriate time to consider how to proceed regarding inertial fusion as a potential power source. An NRC committee and panel will be formed to provide findings and recommendations to advise DOE on the development of an R&D roadmap for inertial fusion energy. All the approaches to ICF will require much investigation and will need to be considered in any long-term R&D strategy." The National Academices Press paperback

Ex-library with usual markings. Some markings blacked out. Cover has some wear and soiling and front corner creased. The Committee was asked to conduct a comprehensive review of the biological effects of ionizing radiation focusing on information that had been reported since the conclusion of the BEIR III study and to the extent that available information permitted provide new estimates of the risks of genetic and somatic effects in humans due to low-level exposures of ionizing radiation. These risk estimates were to address both internal and external sources of radiation and the procedures by which these risk estimates were derived was to be documented. The Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation BEIR is a committee of the American National Research Council. It publishes reports on the effects of ionizing radiation. This book reevaluates the health risks of ionizing radiation in light of data that have become available since the 1980 report on this subject was published. The data include new much more reliable dose estimates for the A-bomb survivors the results of an additional 14 years of follow-up of the survivors for cancer mortality recent results of follow-up studies of persons irradiated for medical purposes and results of relevant experiments with laboratory animals and cultured cells. It analyzes the data in terms of risk estimates for specific organs in relation to dose and time after exposure and compares radiation effects between Japanese and Western populations.
