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. See scan of contents page. Very, very scarce original monthly issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR52.…
