Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science,1975. The February, 1975 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume 31, Number 2. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover or title page since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be nine minutes of midnight as of early1975. 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. The always stunningly pedigreed contributors, in addition to editor Samuel H. Day, Jr., here include F.A. Long; Stuart A. Rice; Jeffrey J.W. Baker; A. Robert Smith; John Ziman; Arthur Steiner; Robert J. Stern; Earl Callen; George Kolodiy; Dennis Chase; David Dinsmore Comey. Scarce. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR59.…
