Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. Very Good. Original subscriber label on front cover (a Hampshire College professor); touch edgewear; the inevitable page paper toning is just modest; binding slightly loose at staples. 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 1975 issue: Vladivostok Agreement; UNESCO; Velikovsky; Nuclear Reactor Debate; Baptism of Atomic Scientists; much more. See scan of contents.
