Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. First editions. Twelve 30-page pamphlets, issued monthly, illustrated, full of fascinating articles on many subjects, some still in the news today: how smoking affects the brain, mercury, cheetahs, opossums, schizophrenia, leprosy, tsunamis, voodoo, nuclear reactors, pollution---air and water, witches and hallucinogens, atomic power, ethics of medical experimentation, malaria, and more. Occasional age spots or light pencil marks; my philosopher-father's address on the rear. [Please see my five images of the actual works.] "Each of [these issues] will provide an entertaining and informative 'seminar' in scientific concepts covering a variety of disciplines, with none of the emphasis on gadgetry and gimmicks so typical of popularized treatment of these subjects." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
