Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. Asia-Pacific: Culture, Politics, and Society; 9.61 X 5.93 X 0.83 inches; 184 pages; Despite familiar images of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan and the controversy over its fiftieth anniversary, the human impact of those horrific events often seems lost to view. In this uncommon memoir, Dr. James N. Yamazaki tells us in personal and moving terms of the human toll of nuclear warfare and the specific vulnerability of children to the effects of these weapons. Giving voice to the brutal ironies of racial and cultural conflict, of war and sacrifice, his story creates an inspiring and humbling portrait of events whose lessons remain difficult and troubling fifty years later.Children of the Atomic Bomb is Dr. Yamazakiâs account of a lifelong effort to understand and document the impact of nuclear explosions on children, particularly the children conceived but not yet born at the time of the explosions. Assigned in 1949 as Physician-in-Charge of the United States Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Nagasaki, Yamazaki had served as a combat surgeon at the Battle of the Bulge where he had been captured and held as a prisoner of war by the Germans. In Japan he was confronted with violence of another dimensionâ"the devastating impact of a nuclear blast and the particularly insidious effects of radiation on children.Yamazakiâs story is also one of striking juxtapositions, an account of a Japanese-Americanâs encounter with racism, the story of a man who fought for his country while his parents were interned in a concentration camp in Arkansas. Once the object of discrimination at home, Yamazaki paradoxically found himself in Japan for the first time as an American, part of the Allied occupation forces, and again an outsider. This experience resonates through his work with the children of Nagasaki and Hiroshima and with the Marshallese people who bore the brunt of Americaâs postwar testing of nuclear weapons in the Pacific.Recalling a career that has spanned five decades, Dr. Yamazaki chronicles the discoveries that helped chart the dangers of nuclear radiation and presents powerful observations of both the medical and social effects of the bomb. He offers an indelible picture of human tragedy, a tale of unimaginable suffering, and a dedication to healing that is ultimately an unwavering, impassioned plea for peace.…

This study was an investigation on animal fetuses and clinical studies of postconception pelvic irradiation have demonstrated a damaging effect of radiation upon the development of the fetus. This paper presents a report of investigations being made on the effects of the atomic explosion on fetuses of women who were in Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945. Collection of data: Patient Selection.â"This study was conducted in Nagasaki during the first half of 1951. On the basis of information obtained from the pregnancy records of the genetics program, lists were made of all women who, at the time of the explosion, were of childbearing age (for the purposes of this study, 17 to 50 years of age) and were residing in Nagasaki. A home investigation was done by trained personnel to determine if the mother had been pregnant at the time of the bombing. Kimeldorf was a major scientific leader. His book with Ed Hunt entitled "Ionizing radiation: Neural function and behavior" is a thorough description of the physiological and behavioral effects of exposure to ionizing radiation. James Nobuo Yamazaki lived to be 104. He was attending Marquette University Medical School, when he received his commission to the Army a week before Pearl Harbor. After finishing his Internship, he was assigned to be the lone Asian and Battalion surgeon for the 590th Artillery Battalion in the 106th Infantry Division. Captured at Battle of the Bulge, marched and bombed while transported in trains, hundreds of miles, to POW camps. He witnessed the mutilated Wereth Eleven being buried by kind Belgium farmers. Another farmer fed and sheltered him and the wounded soldiers he accompanied on their long, winter march. He survived the deprivations of camp. Upon completion of his military commitment, he was recruited to study the effects of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan with the ABCC (U.S. Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission). In Nagasaki he was Physician in Charge, setting up the initial studies of children and fetus exposed to the radiation of the bomb. An experience that would convince him that nuclear weapons should never be used again, a message he reiterated for the rest of his life. Returning to California in '51, Dr. Yamazaki became a professor for the inaugural UCLA Medical School class. He realized it would be difficult to raise his growing family on his professor's salary and opened a private pediatric practice. Upon his retirement, he started to work on his biography. Children of the Atomic Bomb, published in 1995. Stan Wright obtained his premedical education at the University of California, Berkeley and his medical training at the University of Rochester, New York. Following a pediatric residency, he spent two years in Japan with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission, where he was director of the laboratory in Nagasaki. His work in Japan was to study the effects of atomic radiation. In addition, he set up clinics for the treatment of congenital syphilis, which was prevalent there at that time. In recognition of his work and to show their gratitude, the people of Nagasaki set aside a day in his honor: Stanley Wright Day. Reprinted, with additions, from the A. M. A. American Journal of Diseases of Children, April 1954, Vol. 87, pp. 448-463.…
