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.

Also available from The
Occupational
Health Services: A Practical Approach
by Tee L Guidotti, John W. 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. Its five sections cover systems, delivery,
administration, management and the medical aspects of occupational health
services. Four appendices contain additional information, including an outline
for a comprehensive audit.

Art of Scientific
Investigation by William I.
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.
