The eldest son of Scottish immigrants, Logan Napier Muir Jr. spent his youth doing menial chores with his brothers in and around his parents' tar-paper covered shack near Chicago. In 1928 he was valedictorian of his eighth grade class; he never attended another graduation, although his formal education-high school and later university-did continue. A respected and skilled engineer, he was known for keen powers of observation and a quick wit that lightened many a difficult situation. He also chose to start his own business when faced with a job mired in impracticality. Three Surnames and a Jr. is Logan's life story, as told by his wife, Ruth. Logan began writing his life's story late in life and completed only two pages. Ruth gathered together newspaper clippings, pertinent letters, and other memorabilia of her husband's life, piecing them together with her own narratives describing their time together and continuing his story. Both serious and humorous episodes flesh out the life story of this professional man who never forgot his humble beginnings.

Every issue of Ashgate's Human Factors and Aerospace Safety: An International Journal publishes an invited, critical review of a key area from a widely-respected researcher. To celebrate a successful first three years of the journal and to make these papers available to a wider audience, they have been collated here into a single volume. The book is divided into three sections, with articles addressing safety issues in flight deck design, aviation operations and training, and air traffic management. These articles describe the state of current research within a practical context and present a potential future research agenda. Contemporary Issues in Human Factors and Aviation Safety will appeal to both professionals and researchers in aviation and associated industries who are interested in learning more about current issues in flight safety.

Despite an enormous investment of effort throughout the world, cancer is still a major barrier to human longevity. Cancer deaths are estimated to be more than five million globally. Currently responsible for about 20% of all deaths in developed coun tries, the burden of cancer is steadily increasing in the developing world, following the control of malnutrition and infectious and parasitic diseases. Deeply impressed by the report of the Symposium on Geographic Pathology and Demography of Cancer held at Oxford in 1950, and through his preliminary work on cancer mortality statistics in Japan, Professor M. Segi decided to devote his life to the fight against cancer by establishing worldwide comparative cancer statistics-one of the landmarks in cancer studies and in cancer prevention strategies. He and his associates published six volumes of Cancer Mortality in 24 Countries with reliable mortality statistics covering 1950-1967, using the world population which he had derived as a standard. These publications rapidly became standard works of reference on the subject throughout the world. Professor Segi was a pioneer of cancer epidemiology in Japan. He cleaved a path through the jungle of cancer using epidemiological methods. By promoting cancer studies, he overcame the poor understanding of malignant disease which existed after World War II, when cancer mortality rates were still low."

This is a book for business men. It is not a book of sermons. It was written for those interested in the early beginnings of business.... Some of the subject matter of this little volume is projected against the historical backgrounds of Biblical narratives. With all due reverence for the Great Book, the Biblical characters mentioned are reflected in the light of everyday life, as men who shared in their day the common life experiences of mankind, just as we share them in our world today. -from Business Men of the Bible This delightful and enlightening little volume of sermons reminds us that much of what we take for granted in the modern business world-from secretaries to labor unions, from the weekly payroll to planned economies-were not our inventions but concepts with roots that go back to the beginning of time. By looking at contemporary economic woes, which can seem wholly modern and intractable, through the prism of the worlds of ancient workers-the farmer, the merchant, the architect, the builder, the engineer, the artisan, the physician, the politician, the teacher, and others-Muir reminds us that the solutions are within our grasp... but that modern technology is not necessarily the answer. This is a timeless work of business philosophy. JAMES C. MUIR also wrote The Spade and the Scriptures.

This book is the standard reference manual of cancer registration methodology and uses. It provides guidelines on all aspects, such as the establishment of a registry, collection, coding, verification and analysis of data, and the uses to which cancer registry data may be put. Emphasis is on population-based registration, which provides information on a defined population and permits calculation of incidence rates. Such registries are useful in cancer epidemiology (identification of possible aetiological factors), in planning future health services, and in monitoring the effectiveness of cancer prevention and treatment.

Mamie Smith's 1920 recording of "Crazy Blues" is commonly thought to signify the beginning of commercial attention to blues music and culture, but by that year more than 450 other blues titles had already appeared in sheet music and on recordings. In this examination of early popular blues, Peter C. Muir traces the genre's early history and the highly creative interplay between folk and popular forms, focusing especially on the roles W. C. Handy played in both blues music and the music business. Long Lost Blues exposes for the first time the full scope and importance of early popular blues to mainstream American culture in the early twentieth century. Closely analyzing sheet music and other print sources that have previously gone unexamined, Muir revises our understanding of the evolution and sociology of blues at its inception. An internationally recognized pianist, composer, scholar, and conductor, Peter C. Muir is the cofounder and codirector of the Institute for Music and Health in Verbank, New York.
