Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists / Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 1972. The November, 1972 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. This is the Science and Public Affairs issue. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - is missing here on the cover, but shows as twelve minutes to midnight on the contents page. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. Near Fine; no salient flaws. Essentially flawless but for a rear-cover subscriber mailing label. Contents are immaculate. Firmly bound. 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 and contributors in this vintage 1972 issue: Gunnar Myrdal; SALT Agreements; We Live on a Spaceship; India AfterBangladesh; IDRC of Canada; Science & the SST; Shoreham Hearings; Thermodynamics; Israel & Tech Assistance to the Developing World; Bailing Out the Breeder; The National Laboratories; Garrett James Hardin; R. Stephen Berry; Nora Levin; Rose Epstein Frisch. See scan of contents page. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR30.…
