Add to basketCloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Man's Means to His End.Slight wear to edge of D/J. The Central concern of this book is the possibility that twentieth-century man may eliminate himself from the face of the earth. If he should stop short of this conclusive dead end,… he may nevertheless go far enough, in his pride and in his folly, to destroy the social structures to which we commonly give the name of civilization. Thus the distinguished scientist-stateman who is the author of this book begins an examination of the dangers we are now facing and what we must do if we are to achieve better ends of our own choice. 221 pp. Plastic protective covering. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, Inc. The scarce January,1950 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume VI, Number 1. 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 three minutes of midnight as of mid-1950. That's about as close as it ever got, and one can see from the article titles (see scan of contents) that these always-good-citizen scientists - the first group to publish against Nuclear weapons in a scholarly manner - were extremely skittish in early '50. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages1 through 32 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after that fashion of the time). Near Fine, with no salient flaws at all. Orange cover - using a golden-age-of-sci-fi style of font in the case of this particular issue - is vivid, and very modest age-toning to interior pages is less than would ordinarily be expected. See all scans. Solidly bound and bright. A stout example. 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.This early in the bulletin's history, full-size illustrations were rare; here, only the ads on the inside covers are full page. But where else would you see an ad declaring 'The Fume Hood of the Future.is Yours Today'? That's in case you have you have issues handling your radioactive isotopes. See scan of that ad. Feature articles in this vintage1950 issue: The City of Washington and an Atomic Bomb Attack; Conquest of the United States by Germany; AEC Reactor Program; The Perils of Being Important; Role of the National Laboratories; International Control of Atomic Energy; Atomic Armistice; more. See scan of contents. Contributors include Sir Robert Watson-Watt; Hans J. Morgenthau; Samuel K. Allison; Henry D. Smyth; Leo Szilard; David F. Cavers; Cuthbert Daniel and John L. Balderston; Francis W. Carpenter; the editors and others. Very, very scarce piece of activist history at the beginning of a tense era. The original monthly softcover issue, and in superior condition. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course - not a bag. LPR34.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Three Steps to Victory, A Personal Account by Radar's Greatest Pioneer, by Sir Richard Watson-Watt. First edition, published in 1952 by Oldham's Press of London. Printed in Great Britain. The red clothbound boards show general signs of age, though there is no evidence of fading… to the spine. The gilt lettering of the spine is not the clearest, but is perfectly readable. The spine itself is somewhat loose, but it is in good condition nonetheless and fine for reading and storing. No previous inscriptions or ex-library marks. Frontispiece is an image of the author in his home. The pages are all slightly age toned, but the title page is in good condition with only the slightest suggestions of foxing. All illustrations clear, bright and in very good condition. A good copy of a fascinating account of the development of radar by the leading figure in the development of RADAR, the invention which is given much credit for winning the Battle of Britain and the Second World War as a whole.
