Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The April, 1948 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be eight minutes of midnight as of mid-1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 96 through 128 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). Very Good; sunning at spine and edges (scan); modest amount of age-toning to the inexpensive paper of the contents; very light pencil signature of an early owner at top right, front cover, is not visible in scan. A scarce issue for the collector; 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 1948 issue: Future Atomic Energy; Wartime German Scientist Activities; Harwell Establishment; FAS Committee Committee on Clearance; Fission as Power Source; House of Lords Debates. More. See scan of contents. Contributors include H.H. Goldsmith & Eugene Rabinowitch (Editors); E.U. Condon; Robert F. Bacher; Max von Laue; Samuel A. Goudsmit; H.W.B. Skinner; John R. Menke; Edward A. Shils; Peter Kihss. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR57.
