The War Story of Harold Johnston
Harold Johnston, my father, fought in the First World War. To commemorate the upcoming 100th anniversary of the United States' entry into the war, I researched and wrote this book using his diary, recollections of what he told the family, and records at the National Archives. The result is the story of one man's experience. It shows how ill-prepared the nation and these men were, but it is a testament to personal courage. It was written with my family in mind, but it may have a wider appeal.
A Bridge Not Attacked
This book tells the novel true stories concerning highly talented civilian scientists in some unusual places and situations during World War II. The purpose of this book is to present an almost forgotten history of secret war research in universities. The focus is on the narrow subject of chemical warfare research and on a small number of individuals, but with in-depth study of these individuals and what they did. Mostly graduate students and young instructors, they were working under the direction of professors at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of California (Berkeley). Action took place in California, Florida and the jungles of Panama. This history touches on the work of four senior Nobel Prize winners and eight junior, future Nobel Prize winners at Caltech and Berkeley.

The Atmospheric Environment
This introduction to the physics and chemistry of Earth's atmosphere with an account of relevant aspects of ocean science, treats atmospheric science and the climate as an integrated whole, and makes explicit the policy implications of what is known. Its critical account of steps taken by the international community to address the issue of climatic change highlights the challenge of dealing with a global issue for which the political and economic stakes are high, where uncertainties are common and where there is a need for clear thinking and informed policy.
