I purchased this book from a relative of the b front and didn't you iophysicist Sydney Soloway, although he did not write his name in the book. Here's some information about him in case someone has an interest: He got his Ph.D. at Harvard University in June, 1950, subsequent to his World War II service with the 4th Marine Division overseas. During the early part of WW II, he taught radar to assorted military personnel at Harvard. Unfrozen for a single day from his secure teaching position, he promptly enlisted in the Marine Corps and was sent overseas as a Radar and Communications Officer. Prepared for the first wave of the planned invasion of Japan, he and his unit were saved when the atomic bomb was dropped. His first position after graduate school involved him in a research project on gout which led to his and his coworkers' discovery of the cause of and cure of gout (with the drug colchicine). Lured to Connecticut by Schlumberger Well Surveying Company, his work resulted in a vastly improved research tool for testing to determine the presence of oil. From then on, however, all his work, whether in Pittsburgh, Chicago, or Connecticut, was in medical instrumentation, notably in the development of ultrasound. In retirement, until his death, his concerns for harnessing radioactive substances led to published papers and patents on the ability to diminish the half-life of radioactive substances through the use of appropriate photon frequencies.
