Hardcover. First edition. First Edition [stated]. x, [2], 304, [4] p. 22 cm. Glossary of Nuclear Terms. Index. From Wikipedia: "Ralph Eugene Lapp (August 24, 1917 September 7, 2004) was an American physicist who participated in the Manhattan Project. He was born in Buffalo, New York, and attended the University of Chicago. After completing his graduate studies at the University he joined the Manhattan Project; and became the assistant Director of the Metallurgical Laboratory. He then accepted a position with the War department General Staff as a scientific advisor on atomic energy. When the research and development board was formed, Doctor Lapp became executive director of its committee on atomic energy. After this he acted as Head of the Nuclear Physics branch of the Office of Naval Research. He wrote Nuclear Radiation Biology, A Nuclear Reference Manual, Must We Hide? , and assisted Doctor H.L. Andrews from the National Institute of Health in writing Nuclear Radiation Physics. He became an activist later in life and wrote a book, Victims Of The Super Bomb (1957). In his book The New Priesthood: The Scientific Elite and The Uses of Power, Lapp describes the increase in funding for science and the growing influence of scientists in American politics after the invention of the atomic bomb. Mr. Lapp was interviewed by Mike Wallace in 1957. In 1971, he coined the expression "China Syndrome." Fair in poor dust jacket. DJ worn, torn, and missing large chip at front.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good. See scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 1973. The June, 1973 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. "Science and Public Affairs" time period. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - is not at this time period on the cover, but shows as twelve minutes to midnight on the contents page. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. Very Good; modest soil and external wear, and a front-cover subscriber mailing label to a Hampshire College professor. Contents almost immaculate. See all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch (this issue is in memoriam for him) 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, and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Some feature topics in this vintage 1973 issue: In Memoriam Eugene Rabinowitch; Salt Negotiations; After Vietnam; Copernicus; Air Quality; Stockholm - A Year Later; more. See scan of contents page. Very, very scarce original monthly issue. Ships in stout protection, of course. LPR52.
