About this Item

Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science,1988. The July-August, 1988 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume 44, Number 6. 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 six minutes of midnight as of late 1988. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 56 pp. Near Fine. Only the merest touch of age toning - the page paper was of high quality. No other notable flaws, at all. 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 1988 issue: Weird Science at Livermore; Blinding Lasers; Nuclear Fiction for Children; Star Wars Voted Zapped; Pugwash. See scan of contents page. The always stunningly pedigreed contributors are shown there as well. Very scarce, in any condition. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR59. Seller Inventory # 64119
