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.
