Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, Inc. The scarce January,1950 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume VI, Number 1. 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 three minutes of midnight as of mid-1950. That's about as close as it ever got, and one can see from the article titles (see scan of contents) that these always-good-citizen scientists - the first group to publish against Nuclear weapons in a scholarly manner - were extremely skittish in early '50. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages1 through 32 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after that fashion of the time). Near Fine, with no salient flaws at all. Orange cover - using a golden-age-of-sci-fi style of font in the case of this particular issue - is vivid, and very modest age-toning to interior pages is less than would ordinarily be expected. See all scans. Solidly bound and bright. A stout example. 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.This early in the bulletin's history, full-size illustrations were rare; here, only the ads on the inside covers are full page. But where else would you see an ad declaring 'The Fume Hood of the Future.is Yours Today'? That's in case you have you have issues handling your radioactive isotopes. See scan of that ad. Feature articles in this vintage1950 issue: The City of Washington and an Atomic Bomb Attack; Conquest of the United States by Germany; AEC Reactor Program; The Perils of Being Important; Role of the National Laboratories; International Control of Atomic Energy; Atomic Armistice; more. See scan of contents. Contributors include Sir Robert Watson-Watt; Hans J. Morgenthau; Samuel K. Allison; Henry D. Smyth; Leo Szilard; David F. Cavers; Cuthbert Daniel and John L. Balderston; Francis W. Carpenter; the editors and others. Very, very scarce piece of activist history at the beginning of a tense era. The original monthly softcover issue, and in superior condition. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course - not a bag. LPR34.

Add to basket1p., 8vo. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. An interesting document, from the period immediately following the signing of the Entente Cordiale. The first paragraph (of three) reads: 'The Admiralty having approached the Commanding Officer [John Hay Athole Macdonald, Lord Kingsburgh] with a request that The Motor Volunteer… Corps would perhaps take a small part in the hospitality to be shewn to the French Fleet, who are about to pay a visit to this country, I am directed to ask you whether you would be inclined to assist the Admiralty in this manner by helping to drive the Officers of the French Fleet from London to Maidenhead on the morning of Sunday, 13th August next. It is to be understood that this request to you, made in the name of the Commanding Officer, is not by any means a binding one nor does it partake of the nature of a duty, whilst no pay or allowances will be given.' The second paragraph gives the Commanding Officer's hope 'that the Members of the Corps will help to outvie the French nation in the hospitality which it has lately accorded to the English Fleet, even at trifling inconvenience to themselves'. In the third paragraph the probable 'route to be taken on the 13th August' is given: 'Leave Grand Hotel, Northumberland Avenue, at 10 to 10-30 a.m. and proceed to Maidenhead via Richmond Park & Windsor Forest. The Officers of the French Fleet will proceed by train to Portsmouth later in the day.'.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 5th or later Edition. This is a rare 6th Printing, 115th Thousand of Atomic Energy for Military Purposes By Henry D Smyth. With full text of the official report with New and Enlarged edition, including statements by the British and Canadian Governments. This is sign…ed by Arthur H Compton on The Title Page, he was the Nobel Peace Prize in 1927 for Physics. Also, n 1941 Compton was appointed Chairman of the National Academy of Sciences Committee to Evaluate Use of Atomic Energy in War. His investigations, carried out in cooperation with E. Fermi, L. Szilard, E. P. Wigner and others, led to the establishment of the first controlled uranium fission reactors, and, ultimately, to the large plutonium-producing reactors in Hanford, Washington, which produced the plutonium for the Nagasaki bomb, in August 1945. (He also played a role in the Government s decision to use the bomb; a personal account of these matters may be found in his book, Atomic Quest a Personal Narrative, 1956.) He is referenced 17 times in this book and was the one who appointed Oppenheimer in 1942. In June 1942, the United States Army Corps of Engineers assumed control of the nuclear weapons program and Compton's Metallurgical Laboratory became part of the Manhattan Project. That month, Compton gave Robert Oppenheimer responsibility for bomb design. Signed by Author(s).
