Blackburn Press would like to announce the reprinting of a classic in the third quarter of 2005: A Blind Hog's Acorns by Carey P. McCord, ISBN 1-930665-20-2, paperback, 311 pages "A classic of industrial and occupational medicine." First published in 1945, this book is filled with humorous and touching stories of occupational exposure incidents from the early to middle 1900s. This book is the recounting of a series of detective stories: the never-ending search for occupational diseases. The criminal line-up is a fascinating array - microbes and metals, chlorine and cults, dermatitis and dementia, silica and sensitivity, dust in the air and "dust" in the blood cell, miasmas and myths, poisons and plagues, crotchets and eccentricities.

F. Cowell and Geoffrey G. Jamieson, ISBN 1-930665-22-9, paperback, 369 pages "The standard is high. A lot of common sense has been gathered in this book. This useful and stimulating book will make many of us rethink attitudes and positions that have become established over the years." CMAJ First published in 1989, Occupational Health Services: A Practical Approach was written for those responsible for the management and delivery of occupational health services and has become something of a classic.

Beveridge, ISBN 1-932846-05-0, 178 pages "The virtue of Mr. Beveridge's book is that it is not dogmatic. A free and universal mind looks at scientific investigation as a creative art. . . . The New York Times In The Art of Scientific Investigation, W.I.B. Beveridge explores the development of the intuitive side in scientists. The author's object is to show how the mind of man can best be harnessed to the processes of scientific discovery. This book therefore centers on the "human factor"; the individual scientist.
