Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The October, 1948 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 eight minutes of midnight as of autumn,1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 289 through 320 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). A strong Very Good; moderate sunning at edges of covers, otherwise no notable flaws whatever (see scans). Very light inevitable age-toning to the pages. 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 1948 issue: Protests of Thomas Committee; President Truman Speaks; Albert Einstein Message to World Congress of Intellectuals; Thomas E. Dewey on Atomic Challenge; Senator Arthur Vandenberg; Tracy B. Augur on Dispersal of Cities; Cuthbert Daniel; Arthur M. Squires; Brian McMahon; Eric Ashby; A.D. Ritchie; A.P. Lerner; Peter Kihss. See scan of contents. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR47.
