A cellular level anatomical illustration. Challenge: Science Against Cancer

This 1951 Federal Civil Defense Administration film warns of the dangers posed by atomic bombs, which wound people in three ways: by blast, heat, and radioactivity. Footage of the devastation caused in Japan at the end of World War II and its aftermath illustrates these points. It is speculated how a similar attack on the United States would unfold, and Americans are advised on the best ways to ensure survival: sheltering in homes, public areas, or at work, stocking up on food and emergency supplies, and procedures to follow in the event of an attack and afterwards.

NEW IN NLM DIGITAL COLLECTIONS

The face of a white man with glasses and a jacket. The Social Breakdown Syndrome (c1975)
 In recent years NLM has begun to digitize portions of its large U-matic tape collection, which contains thousands of titles chiefly from the 1960s and ‘70s. This title features interviews with a young man diagnosed with schizophrenia who has a complicated, co-dependent relationship with his father. The father is interviewed as well, and therapists recommend treatment approaches to improve the relationship between the two and the independence of the son.
