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.
