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 change2 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: Edward U. Condon Cleared by Atomic Energy Commission; AEC Medical Program Isotopes Symposium; Joyce Clennam Stearns; British Scientists on International Atomic Control; Atomic Power Prospects; Atomic Peace with Russia: United Nations & Atomic Energy News; On the Application of Intelligence to World Affairs; Middle-Run International Planning.

Pryce; Philip Quincy Wright; Peter Kihss; and the editors. Very very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new sturdy protective box - not a bag.

The Boat Builders Yard in San Trovaso is a historic 17th-century gondola repair and building yard in Venice Italy. It's one of the few remaining such workshops in Venice where skilled artisans traditionally craft and maintain the iconic black gondolas used on the city's canals. The yard is a significant landmark located next to the Church of San Trovaso. <br /> <br /> Born in 1887 in Washington DC John Taylor Arms studied at Princeton University and ultimately earned a degree in architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1912. With the outbreak of W.W.I Arms served as an officer in the United States Navy and it was during this time that he turned his focus to printmaking having published his first etching in 1919. His first subjects were the Brooklyn Bridge near the Navy Yard and it was during his wartime travel that Arms created a series of extraordinarily detailed etchings based on gothic cathedrals and churches he visited in France and Italy the plate for Guardians of the Spire was created in 1921. He used what was available to him namely sewing needles and a magnifying glass to create the incredibly rich and fine detail that his etchings are known for. Upon his return to New York after the war Arms enjoyed a successful career as a graphic artist created a series of etchings of American cities and published Handbook of Print Making and Print Makers Macmillan 1934. He served as President of the Society of American Graphic Artists and in 1933 was made a full member of the National Academy of Design. Arms died in Fairfield Connecticut in 1953. unknown
