28 cm; 384 pages. Cloth-bound volume of 12 issues. Duplicate surplus stamp of Library of Congress on front free endpaper. Later owner's stamp on free endleaves blacked out. Lively forum of discussion of various scientific, social, and political implications of atomic energy as the post-war radioactive dust settled over the Pacific (and wherever else open-air tests of atomic weaponry took place). Opens with Einstein's "Plea for International Understanding." Issue #2 features a written debate between Einstein and four Soviet scientists (Semyonov, Vavilov, Frumkin, and Ioffe). A scenario describes the potential effect of an atomic bomb on Washington DC. Justice William O. Douglas contributes "Democracy and Communism." Harry Truman presents a "Message to the Atomic Scientists." Other contributors include Cardinal Cushing, Thomas E. Dewey, Max von Laue, and many other scientists and statesmen involved in the post-war debates.
