Portrait of Professor H. Rodney Withers [picture] /
No full textTitle supplied by photographer.; Photograph signed and dated by artist on verso.; Also available in an electronic version via the Internet at: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3579894; Purchased from the photographer, 2005. Dr. Withers is considered by many colleagues to be the pre-eminent clinically-oriented radiation biologist in the world. He has made numerous scientific contributions over the years, but is most widely known for his seminal work on post-radiation repair and the effects of ionizing radiation on normal tissues. Many of the assays and the techniques he has developed are now being used in laboratories throughout the world. There is scarcely any major review of radiation biology which does not cite Dr. Withers' contributions prominently, and he stands out as the radiation biologist who has applied studies on basic radiation effects to the clinical practice of radiation therapy. Dr. Withers has received many prestigious awards, including the Henry S. Kaplan Distinguished Scientist Award from the International Association for Radiation Research, the Gold Medal from the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, the Gaggin Fellowship for Cancer Research (Australia), the Finzi Bequent Prize (British Institute of Radiology), the University of Texas Commemorative Medal of Achievement, the Failla Award (Radiation Research Society), the Polish Academy of Science Medicine Prize, a National Cancer Institute Merit Award, and in 1995 the Gray Medal. He is also a Fellow of the American Cancer Society. Reference: http://www.radbiol.ucla.edu/Faculty/Rod.htm

Book Review: Review of H. G. Wells, When the Sleeper Wakes
No full textWithin the canon of science fiction literature, the place of H. G. Wells’s When the Sleeper Wakes is far less secure than his more well-known and revered ‘scientific romances’, such as The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The War of the Worlds. Wells himself, notably, did not care much for When the Sleeper Wakes, referring to it in a 1910 preface as ‘one of the most ambitious and least satisfactory of my books’, a novel tarnished by ‘marks of haste’. Wells was working on Love and Mr. Lewisham at the same time as Sleeper, but admits in this same preface that the former work had ‘a very much stronger hold upon my affections’.This book review is published as Withers, J., Review of H. G. Wells, When the Sleeper Wakes, ed. John Sutherland (Broadview Press, 2019), The Wellsian 42 (2019): 76-78. http://hgwellssociety.com/wellsian/. Posted with permission
‘Indiscriminate and universal destruction’? Warfare and nature in H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds
Get PDFThis article focuses on H. G. Wells’s portrayal in The War of the Worlds (1898) of the adverse environmental effects of warfare. It also analyses a second provocative way in which the novel depicts human wars: as insignificant when viewed from the perspective of species not directly affected by our military conflicts. This article concludes by examining how the novel further attacks anthropocentrism by depicting the ecologically sophisticated idea that military violence might even be good for some forms of nonhuman life. In short, we examine The War of the Worlds as a work demonstrating Wells’s consciousness that war, an event seemingly unique to humans, is always enmeshed in the living environment that surrounds it.This article is published as Withers, Jeremy., Tyrrell, Brenda “‘Indiscriminate and Universal Destruction’? Warfare and Nature in H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds,” The Wellsian: The Journal of the H. G. Wells Society 43 (2020): 56-77 http://hgwellssociety.com/wellsian/. Posted with permission
