Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The August, 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 225 through 256 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). Fine; no flaws. Even the inevitable page paper toning is almost nonexistent. 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 1948 issue: Edward U. Condon Cleared by Atomic Energy Commission; AEC Medical Program (Isotopes Symposium); Joyce Clennam Stearns; British Scientists on International Atomic Control; Atomic Power Prospects; Atomic Peace with Russia?: United Nations & Atomic Energy News; On the Application of Intelligence to World Affairs; Middle-Run International Planning. More, of course; see scan of contents. Contributors include William T. R. Fox; Shields Warren; Arthur Holly Compton (discoverer of The Compton Effect); Henry L. Stimson; M. H. L. Pryce; Philip Quincy Wright; Peter Kihss; and the editors. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR30.…

Fine In Near Fine Dust Jacket Priced $6.00 At Bottom Of Front Flap, Price Label At Top Of Front Flap. Reason Demands That Science Be Used To Understand And Improve Society And In Particular Its Institutions And Government; But The Demand Is Unreasonable, As Science Has Boundless Universal Audience And Participation And Review And Analysis And Criticism Subject To Explicit Standards, Whereas Society Does Not- Its Standards Are Vaguely Philosophical But Essentially Clan-Specific And Religious. To The Everlasting Surprise Of Society, Its Standards Are Occasionally Revised By Popular Sentiment When Experience, Including Some Consideration Of Science, Is Overwhelmingly Indicative Of Its Failings. The Academicians Here Assert Some Scientific Expertise In General, Which Is Not The Way Scientific Expertise Works In Social Concerns. …

First edition of this work by Goldsmith. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Peter all best wishes Jimmy." The recipient Peter L. Bernstein, was aÂfinancial historian, economist and educator whose development and refinement of theÂefficient-market hypothesis made him one of the country's best known authorities in popularizing and presenting investment economics to the general public. Fine in a fine dust jacket. James Goldsmith was a member of the prominent Goldsmith family, was a British financier, tycoon and politician. In 1994 he was elected to represent a French constituency as a Member of the European Parliament. He founded the short-lived Eurosceptic Referendum Party in the United Kingdom, and was one of the key power-brokers in British political circles that initiated party political opposition in that nation to its membership of the European Union. Goldsmith was allegedly the inspiration for the fictional character of the corporate raider Sir Larry Wildman in the American cinema film Wall Street. Margaret Thatcher said of him: "Jimmy Goldsmith was one of the most powerful and dynamic personalities that this generation has seen. He was enormously generous, and fiercely loyal to the causes he espoused.".…
