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.…

Van Buren (1819-1883) was a distinguished American surgeon. "President Abraham Lincoln offered to make Van Buren Surgeon General at the time of the war, and on his refusal consulted him with regard to the appointment. In 1865 he published Contributions to Practical Surgery, in 1870 Lectures on Diseases of the Rectum, and in 1874, in conjunction with Dr. Edward L. Keyes, a text-book on genito-urinary surgery. His contributions to medical periodical literature were frequent. He became a Catholic early in his medical career and remained one for the rest of his life. He was consulting surgeon to many of the prominent New York City hospitals, and had been president of the Pathological Society, vice-president of the New York Academy of Medicine, and corresponding member of the Soci?t? de Chirurgie of Paris, an honour that had been conferred on only one American before him." -- Wikipedia. so.
