About This Item
Pauline Beery Mack, Ph.D. Scientist who contributed to the US Army in WWII and later NASA. Calories Make a Difference: Reports of Studies on Three Groups of Children. In cooperation with the Department of Health Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. New York: Sugar Research Foundation, [1948]. Original paper wraps. Staplebound. Mack was a scientist who began breaking barriers very early in her career and went on to do pioneering research on astronaut health at NASA. Her doctoral dissertation focused on measuring calcium retention in bones, and during WWII, Mack was enlisted to research the effects of calcium for the American army; she earned the prestigious Garvan Medal for her important findings on bone density. In the 1960s, she received research grants from NASA to develop special diets to minimize bone demineralization for the Gemini and Apollo astronauts, a noteworthy accomplishment as it was unusual for women to be hired as expert consultants at this time. This report documents the effects of different caloric intake on groups of children. Very good condition.
