1946511744Yale University Press 1946. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE/Very Good. Hans Morgenthau's copy with his stationary cards turn and used as bookmarks with his occasional pencil marks in the margins. First Printing. xii 303pp. 8vo gray cloth b/w frontispiece portrait. Cassirer's final work published posthumously. Morgenthau reviewed the book favorably in Ethics Jan. 1947 Vol. 57 No. 2: 'This volume is indeed a great event in political philosophy. I say advisedly 'political philosophy' and not 'history of political philosophy' for it was the unique gift of Cassirer to inspire and deepen philosophic thought by illuminating its history. There never was a less antiquarian historian than Cassirer. In truth he was not a historian of philosophy but a philosopher who used history as a vehicle for philosophic thought as others have used the aphorism or the system for the same purpose.'.

195063229Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science Inc. 1950. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Near Fine. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science Inc. The scarce January1950 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that being Volume VI Number 1. 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 three minutes of midnight as of mid-1950. That's about as close as it ever got and one can see from the article titles see scan of contents that these always-good-citizen scientists - the first group to publish against Nuclear weapons in a scholarly manner - were extremely skittish in early '50. Quarto illustrated staple-bound wraps 32 pp. pages1 through 32 for the annual volume pages then being numbered after that fashion of the time. Near Fine with no salient flaws at all. Orange cover - using a golden-age-of-sci-fi style of font in the case of this particular issue - is vivid and very modest age-toning to interior pages is less than would ordinarily be expected. See all scans. Solidly bound and bright. A stout example. 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.This early in the bulletin's history full-size illustrations were rare; here only the ads on the inside covers are full page. But where else would you see an ad declaring 'The Fume Hood of the Future.is Yours Today' That's in case you have you have issues handling your radioactive isotopes. See scan of that ad. Feature articles in this vintage1950 issue: The City of Washington and an Atomic Bomb Attack; Conquest of the United States by Germany; AEC Reactor Program; The Perils of Being Important; Role of the National Laboratories; International Control of Atomic Energy; Atomic Armistice; more. See scan of contents. Contributors include Sir Robert Watson-Watt; Hans J. Morgenthau; Samuel K. Allison; Henry D. Smyth; Leo Szilard; David F. Cavers; Cuthbert Daniel and John L. Balderston; Francis W. Carpenter; the editors and others. Very very scarce piece of activist history at the beginning of a tense era. The original monthly softcover issue and in superior condition. Ships in a new sturdy protective box of course - not a bag. LPR34 <br/> <br/> Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, Inc. paperback
