Item description from seller

The format is approximately 5.5 inches by 7.5 inches with illustrated covers, 8 pages of illustrated text, and CD in rear cover pocket. Booklet and CD have been removed from its original shrink wrap. Mailing label on back cover. This commemorates the laboratory's 60 years supporting national security and national needs Los Alamos Science, the flagship publication of Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1980 through 2005, was distributed to the international scientific community, academic libraries, and US government policymakers. It presented a coherent picture of some of the most exciting scientific initiatives of the Laboratory and served as a forum for LANL scientists to display the breadth and depth of their research and its significance to national security. Many volumes are devoted to areas in which LANL was or still is a leader. Some themes reflect LANL's focus on fundamental physics - nonlinear studies and the legacy of Stan Ulam, neutrino physics and astrophysics - others convey LANL's role in national security - Russian-American collaborations and challenges in plutonium science. A hallmark of Los Alamos Science was the development of pedagogical articles that tackle difficult concepts. These presentations were intended to foster interdisciplinary research, enabling scientists in one field to become familiar with the ideas and techniques of another field. Another special feature of the Los Alamos Science series are the volumes celebrating Laboratory anniversaries (40th, 50th, 60th). They provide snapshots of the entire Laboratory that illustrate the evolution of the nuclear weapons mission and other programs. Finally, the interviews, roundtable discussions, reports on conferences, and personal essays help to capture the personality and the spirit of innovation that permeate this historic site.
