Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Acclaimed national security columnist and noted cultural critic Fred Kaplan looks past the 1960s to the year that really changed America While conventional accounts focus on the sixties as the era of pivotal change that swept the nation, Fred Kaplan argues that it was 1959 that ushered in the wave of tremendous cultural, political, and scientific shifts that would play out in the decades that followed. Pop culture exploded in upheaval with the rise of artists like Jasper Johns, Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, and Miles Davis. Court rulings unshackled previously banned books. Political power broadened with the onset of Civil Rights laws and protests. The sexual and feminist revolutions took their first steps with the birth control pill. America entered the war in Vietnam, and a new style in superpower diplomacy took hold. The invention of the microchip and the Space Race put a new twist on the frontier myth. Vividly chronicles 1959 as a vital, overlooked year that set the world as we know it in motion, spearheading immense political, scientific, and cultural change Strong critical acclaim: "Energetic and engaging" (Washington Post); "Immensely enjoyable . . . a first-rate book" (New Yorker); "Lively and filled with often funny anecdotes" (Publishers Weekly) Draws fascinating parallels between the country in 1959 and today Drawing fascinating parallels between the country in 1959 and today, Kaplan offers a smart, cogent, and deeply researched take on a vital, overlooked period in American history.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science,1978. The April, 1978 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume 34, Number 4. "Peace in Sight?" issue. Association Copy, That of Dr, Allan S. Krass, a professor at the School of Natural Science, Hampshire College, who passed away in 2013. See image of a memoriam to him. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover or title page since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be eight minutes of midnight as of April 1978. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 64 pp. Near Fine; Prof. Krass' Hampshire College original addressee label on front cover, micro-touch wear at spine, very modest toning to white covers and pages. No other flaws. Contents otherwise immaculate. A handsome example; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1978 issue: Public & the Energy Problem; Ambivalent Disarmament Steps; Pugwash Beginnings; Saber Rattling; Disarmament Conference; Isaiah Revisited; Speaking with Quarked Tongue; Nuclear Recession; Soviet Civil Defense Myth. More. See scan of contents. The always stunningly pedigreed contributors, in addition to editor Bernard Taub Feld, here include Bertrand Russell & Anne Keaton; Eugene Rosa; Charles Weiner; Alessandro Corradini; Jane M.O. Sharp; Leonard Nathan & William J. Brandt; Gus Speth; Andre van Dam; J. Leite Lopes; Fred M. Kaplan; John Dowling & Milton Leitenberg; Leon Gourel.

Brossura. Condition: ottimo. Dust Jacket Condition: ottimo. prima edizione. Sei tra i maggiori esponenti dell'avanguardia artistica e teatrale americana espongono i motivi estetici, architettonici, sociali, psicologici e sensoriali della rivolta contro princķpi cui per secoli ha obbedito il teatro. In un saggio che sta mettendo a rumore il mondo teatrale di qua e di lą dell'oceano (Sei assiomi sull'Environmental Theatre) Richard Schechner enuncia i postulati di una rivoluzione copernicana nel rapporto tra arte e realtą. Gli fa eco Donald M. Kaplan che tenta un'interpretazione dell'architettura teatrale come derivazione della cavitą orale, confine archetipico tra mondo esterno ed interno. Una raccolta di saggi e interviste che costituisce il manifesto del dissenso teatrale americano. Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: La Cavitą Teatrale Autori Vari: Richard Schechner, Donald M.
