About this Item

Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 1991. The January-February, 1991 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be ten minutes of midnight as of early 1991. That's about two minutes safer than it was in May of 1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. A strong Very Good; pre-addressed subscriber's label has been largely removed, and the corners and spine are sporadically touched (see scans). Firmly bound, contents immaculate, tipped-in cardstock offers remain untouched. 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 - a geopolitical instrument that became more than a nuclear watchdog. Feature articles in this now-vintage 1991 issue: Renegade Russians; How We Armed the Middle East; South Africa and the Nonproliferation Treaty; Conventional Force Treaty Buries Cold War; Military R&D Not to Blame for Economy. More, of course. Very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR28. Seller Inventory # 62255
