About this Item

Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science,1982. The November, 1982 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume 38, Number 9. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover or title page since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be four minutes of midnight as of late 1982. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 64 pp. Near Fine; original addressee label on front cover, very modest toning to white covers and pages. No other flaws. Contents otherwise immaculate. 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 1982 issue: Nuclear Combat; Strategy Games; Pugwash 1982, Warsaw; Soviet Social Problems; Future American Science; Reagan Isolationism; Room in the Ark? Endangered Species; Soviet Succession and Policy; Flexible Response Danger; Sakharov Letter. More. See scan of contents.

Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR37.
