Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($19.95). Blue cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine; Gorbachev signature in gilt on front board. Gold endpapers. 254 pp 8vo. Perestroika, which means restructuring, is Gorbachev's own account of the revolution he is presently implementing in the USSR. Seventy years after the October Revolution, it constitutes real changes in attitudes, in ideas, and in practice that entail a radical alteration of both domestic and foreign policy. It is the next stage in socialist history, when greater responsibility is delegated to the people, and initiative, openness and a spirit of emulation are strongly encouraged through a real sense of personal involvement. A clean very presentable copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. 25 cm. xii, 399, [3] pages. Appendices. Notes. Index. Slight wear to DJ. Inscribed by the author. Stewart Lee Udall (January 31, 1920 - March 20, 2010) was an American politician and later, a federal government official. After serving three terms as a congressman from Arizona, he served as Secretary of the Interior, under presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1979, he returned to the West. In 1980, Udall was elected to the Central Arizona Water Conservation District Board and commissioned as a member of the Morrison Institute. Udall was presented with the Wilderness Society's highest conservation award. He was awarded the United Nations Gold Medal for Lifetime Achievement. Udall received the Common Cause Public Service Achievement Award for his lifelong protection of the environment and defense of American citizens who were victims of nuclear weapons testing. In 1987, he published To the Inland Empire: Coronado and our Spanish Legacy, which retraces the trails of the explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado as he searched for the "golden cities" of Cibola in what now is Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Udall published The Quiet Crisis and the Next Generation in 1988, a revised edition with new chapters of The Quiet Crisis (1963). "The Quiet Crisis" introduced the Myth of Superabundance. In 1990, he co-authored Beyond the Mythic West, which examines effects of change upon the inhabitants and lands of the western United States. In 1998, he issued The Myths of August: A Personal Exploration of Our Tragic Cold War Affairs with the Atom. This is a devastating--but in the end hopeful--expose of America's atomic adventures from Hiroshima to the present, written by a former congressman, Secretary of the Interior, and longtime lawyer for victims of radiation exposure. A courageous and noble exploration of the cause and consequences of one of the most fateful acts in human history Udall's explorations began as a result of his discovery that Atomic Energy Commission officials had lied about the health effects of the atmospheric bomb tests from the Nevada test site in the 1950s, in the course of some of his unsuccessful legal representation of some of its victims. Here as always he names in his indictment of those officials who invoked national security reasons for their inexcusable behavior. . . .Udall is the highest-ranking public official with the courage and wisdom to tell us why we must end our cold war affair with the atom. The Nation. This timely and important book. Stewart Udall describes how since the end of World War II a small cleared elite group of nuclear scientists and bureaucrats has used the cloak of secrecy to limit public and Congressional oversight of America's nuclear policies. The tragic results, such as nuclear testing on unwitting Americans, are only now receiving public attention. "The Myths of August" makes a persuasive argument that excessive government secrecy erodes the foundation of a democratic society. Senator Dale Bumpers This] is a book about lies the kind of lies we tell ourselves to evade or obscure the truth of what we do or of who we are, the kind of lies we tell others to hide the same truths. Only here the we is the government of the United States, and the lies have to do with the machinery of deception that once kept this nation in thrall to an idea so fundamentally wrongheaded as to cross the line that separates stupidity from insanity. . . Udall gives us a solid grasp of the historical context in which the ghastly drama played itself out. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. xi, [1], 371, [1] pages. This collection of essays has sections on Stories, Things, Institutions, Politics, Books and People. There are Bibliographical Notes and an Index. Signed by the author on the fep. Dyson presents a selection of essays that include discussions of his early fascination with science and space, his contemporary analyses of the politics of "smart" weapons, and more. Freeman John Dyson FRS (15 December 1923 - 28 February 2020) was an English-American theoretical physicist and mathematician known for his works in quantum field theory, astrophysics, random matrices, quantum mechanics, condensed matter, nuclear physics, and engineering. He was Professor Emeritus in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Dyson originated several concepts that bear his name, such as Dyson's transform, a technique in additive number theory, which he developed as part of his proof of Mann's theorem; the Dyson tree, a hypothetical genetically engineered plant capable of growing in a comet; the Dyson series, a perturbative series where each term is represented by Feynman diagrams; the Dyson sphere, a thought experiment to explain how a space-faring civilization would meet its energy requirements with a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output; and Dyson's eternal intelligence, a means by which an immortal society of intelligent beings in an open universe could escape the prospect of the heat death of the universe by extending subjective time to infinity while expending only a finite amount of energy. From Eros to Gaia is a nonfiction scientific book of 35 non-technical writings by Freeman J. Dyson, Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. This book is a collection of essays written from 1933 (when Dyson was nine years old) to 1990. It was originally published by Pantheon Books in 1992. The book begins with Dyson's juvenile 1933 science fiction story concerning the asteroid Eros. The pieces in the collection range over anecdotal history, expository popular-science articles, lectures on public policy related to science, political issues concerning problems created by science and technology, book reviews, and people (known personally by Dyson) such as Richard Feynman, Paul Dirac, and Helen Dukas. The book ends with Dyson's contribution Gaia to Clifton Fadiman's 1990 collection Living Philosophies. The concluding essay deals with the value and potential of the emerging Gaia philosophy. Along with articles on quantum field theory and the mystery of unaccounted-for carbon in the biosphere, there are tributes to Richard Feynman and Paul Dirac, a travel sketch on Armenia and Dyson's proposed 60-year program for space science, including manned missions to Mars. The book has been translated into Spanish (1994), French (1995), and Japanese (2005). First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
