Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very Good. See scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 1973. The May, 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, 56 pp. Very Good; modest soil and spots of external touch-wear, and a front-cover subscriber mailing label to a Hampshire College professor. Contents are immaculate but for dusting at last few pages. 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, 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: Science Exits the White House; Nixon Reorganization; Icebergs for Arab Lands; Genetic Engineering; SALT; BEIR Report; Demophora; Solar Wind; more.

This volume covers such pivotal events as the fall of Rome, the rise of Christianity, the origins of Islam, & the early formation of Byzantium and the European Middle Ages. These events are set n the context of widespread literary, artistic, cultural, & religious change during the period. The geographical scope of this handbook is unparalleled among comparable surveys of Late Antiquity; Arabia, Egypt, Central Asia, & the Balkans all receive dedicated treatments, while the scope extends to the western kingdoms & North Africa in the West. Furthermore, from economic theory & slavery to Greek & Latin poetry, Syriac & Coptic literature, philosophy, sites of religious devotion, & many others, this handbook covers a wide range of topics that will appeal to scholars from a diverse array of disciplines. "The Oxford Handbook of Late Antiquity" engages the perennially valuable questions about the end of the ancient world & the beginning of the medieval, while providing a much needed touchstone for the study of Late Antiquity itself. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: SCOTT FITZGERALD JOHNSON is Dumbarton Oaks Teaching Fellow in Postclassical Greek at Georgetown University * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.…
