Shaping Science and Industry: A History of Australia’s Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, 1926-49
Schedvin, C.B.
ISBN: 0049090364
Allen & Unwin North Sydney 1987 1st Edition
8 vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Hardcover 1.1 kg; XX, 376 pages, indexed. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Colour illustrated dustjacket. Slight rubbing to the bottom edge of the boards, no other damage to describe. Everybody knows the CSIRO, but most people don't realise that existed as the CSIR, from its inception in 1926 until it was renamed in 1949 following a political controversy about science and secrecy. An informative and non-technical account is given of such major programs as the eradication of prickly pear, control of animal diseases such as bovine pleura-pneumonia, the discovery of mineral deficiency in animals and plants, the attempt to control sheep blowfly, and the introduction of zebu cattle to Queensland. -- Front fold over blurb (there is nothing about the cane toad that I can find.) This book will weigh more than 1.0 kg when packed, and extra postage will be requested for delivery outside of Australia. CSIRO -- History Very Good
