Paperback. Condición: New. Short-listed for the 2012 Speaker's Book Award Edmund Zavitz (1875-1968) rescued Ontario from the ravages of increasingly more powerful floods, erosion, and deadly fires. Wastelands were talking over many hectares of once-flourishing farmlands and towns. Sites like the Oak Ridges Moraine were well on their way to becoming a dust bowl and all because of extensive deforestation. Zavitz held the positions of chief forester of Ontario, deputy minister of forests, and director of reforestation. His first pilot reforestation project was in 1905, and since then Zavitz has educated the public and politicians about the need to protect Ontario forests. By the mid-1940s, conservation authorities, provincial nurseries, forestry stations, and bylaws protecting trees were in place. Land was being restored. Just a month before his death, the one billionth tree was planted by Premier John Robarts. Some two billion more would follow. As a result of Zavitz's work, the Niagara Escarpment, once a wasteland, is now a UNESCO World Biosphere. Recognition of the ongoing need to plant trees to protect our future continues as the legacy of Edmund Zavitz.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The April, 1948 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be eight minutes of midnight as of mid-1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 96 through 128 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). Very Good; sunning at spine and edges (scan); modest amount of age-toning to the inexpensive paper of the contents; very light pencil signature of an early owner at top right, front cover, is not visible in scan. A scarce issue for the collector; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1948 issue: Future Atomic Energy; Wartime German Scientist Activities; Harwell Establishment; FAS Committee Committee on Clearance; Fission as Power Source; House of Lords Debates. More. See scan of contents. Contributors include H.H. Goldsmith & Eugene Rabinowitch (Editors); E.U. Condon; Robert F. Bacher; Max von Laue; Samuel A. Goudsmit; H.W.B. Skinner; John R. Menke; Edward A. Shils; Peter Kihss. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR57.
