Excerpt from Wartime Lumber Production in the Appalachian Hardwood Region, January 1942-June 1944 In this war lumber is one of the most essential materials, The de mand for lumber increased steadily throughout 1941 and became pronounced in the Spring of 1942. This was the period Of bottlenecks and Of material shortages that became critical seemingly overnight, Forest products, howe ever, were regarded as a great reservoir which could be drawn upon in any quantity to meet expanding requirements, and so, as shortages of other materials developed, wood was advanced as a substitute. By December 1941 over different items Of military and naval equipment required lumber. On a tonnage basis, the war program was using 25 percent more wood than steelo Consumption Of lumber in 1941 was 17 percent greater than in 1940; in 1942 it was 9 percent above 1941. By mid - summer 1942 lumber had taken its place with rubber, steel, and copper on the critical list. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Every Root an Anchor
Author: R. Bruce Allison
Publisher: Wisconsin Historical Society
ISBN: 0870203703
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."

The Disappearing Spoon
Author: Sam Kean
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316089087
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, finance, mythology, the arts, medicine, and more, as told by the Periodic Table. Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters? The Periodic Table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. The Disappearing Spoon masterfully fuses science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, and discovery -- from the Big Bang through the end of time. Though solid at room temperature, gallium is a moldable metal that melts at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A classic science prank is to mold gallium spoons, serve them with tea, and watch guests recoil as their utensils disappear.
