Writing on the spine.Cover has some wear and soiling. The preparing agency was the Lovelace Foundation for Medical Education and Research located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Cover has some wear, soiling, and ink notation/name of previous owner on front cover. Ink notation inside the front cover indicates that this copy was a gift from the author. Dr. Clayton S. White helped establish the Lovelace Medical Center in 1947. Sam White was a Rhodes scholar. He earned a baccalaureate in physiology at Oxford, giving him a year and a half of credit at medical school at the University of Colorado. After graduating in 1942, he spent the rest of World War II and two postwar years in the Navy, where he did medical research. Dr. White developed the field of blast biology, the study of how explosions affect people immediately and over time. His studies helped determine how to aim atomic bombs, treat blast victims and improve bomb shelters. Until his work, most medical research had centered on radiation and heat, rather than on the percussive effects. His research was reported in 2 books and 125 papers on subjects that included the effects on the lungs from breathing small particles. The particles research, originally on material from nuclear blasts, extended to the effects of inhaling aerosol consumer products, diesel exhausts and other substances. His studies of the effects of the two bombs dropped on Japan suggested that the effects of the blast were initially more dangerous. This report, prepared to delineate some of the fundamental accelerative and decelerative events associated with exposure to air-blast-induced winds and pressure variations and to elucidate the major biophysical parameters now known to influence dynamic load-response relationships among many mammals, is in essence a synthesizing summary of the more recent advances in blast and shock biology. The material was presented before the Symposium on Linear Acceleration of the Impact Type held June 23-26, 1971, in Porto, Portugal, under the sponsorship of the Aerospace Medical Panel, Advisory Group for Aeronautical Research and Development, North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The important variables, the etiologic concepts, the early and delayed effects, the interspecies scaling, and the tentative biomedical criteria derived for the human case are among the significant understandings and accomplishments stemming from a research effort that has been under way continuously since 1951. Because there have been no systematic investigations of blast effects in the very young and very old, the information at hand may or may not apply to these groups. Also, the presentation does not cover experience with "small explosions" occurring near or against the body surface and causing only local damage, as might result from the detonation of land mines and hand-held dynamite caps. The data, directly applicable mostly to "fast-rising" blast overpressures and to charges ranging in size from pounds to megatons of TNT-equivalent yield, have been and are broadly useful to organizations manufacturing, using, and controlling high-energy liquids, solid propellants, high-pressure gases, and explosives both nuclear and conventional in type. This includes military and civilian personnel including range and missile-base safety officers, service and industrial physicians, safety engineers, physicians who care for those injured by blast and other varieties of "high-energy" trauma; to firms engaged in sea, air, and ground transportation; and to management and operating employees responsible for assessing hazards and preventing accidents through protective design of structures, vehicles, and equipment; and through the enforcement of operating procedures that enhance safety.
