200252160Washington DC: Panel to Assess Reliability 2002. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very Good. quarto 30 pages wraps footnotes figures appendix. Subtitled: FY2001 Report to Congress of the Panel to Assess the Reliability Safety and Security of the United States Nuclear Stockpile. This report focussed on a narrow question: is there a technical issue that necessitates a return to nuclear testing In order to meet the growing technical challenges of stockpile stewardship the Panel recommended that Presidential guidance be revised to require a balanced and complete assessment of the stockpile the nuclear weapons complex that supports it and the alternative options available for sustaining confidence. The Panel urges Congress to continue its strong focus and leadership particularly in the following four areas: First there is significant potential to strengthen stockpile surveillance assessments and certification. These processes are the day-to-day foundation for understanding and investigating the issues associated with stockpile safety and reliability and they should be as rigorous and probing as the responsible stockpile stewards know how to make them. Congress should encourage the proposed revisions to these processes which are needed to obtain a balanced and complete assessment of stewardship issues and options. Second we need to articulate and fund a balanced forward-looking weapons program that meets the requirements for weapons refurbishments explores advanced concepts and maintains leading-edge capabilities in weapons-relevant science and technology. A renewed and sharpened focus on deliverable products will drive the need to restore the weapons complex to train a new generation of stockpile stewards and to address long-standing management deficiencies. Third test readiness the time required to conduct a test after a decision to test is made must be addressed much more realistically. This is not because a need to test is imminent but because prudence requires that every President have a realistic option to test in a timely manner should technical or political events dictate a requirement. Fourth the coming year will be critical for determining whether the NNSA can provide the strong leadership Congress sought by establishing this organization in 1999. The Secretary of Energy has limited the oversight of NNSA by DOE's environmental safety and health organization. However he should also be urged to do still more to remove staff activities in DOE headquarters that are redundant to functions in NNSA. Such redundant activities inevitably hamper the efficient pursuit of NNSA's mission. NNSA must lead in transforming the weapons program by creating a resource plan that explains how it will address the challenges of stockpile stewardship and in establishing the management capable of executing the plan. If NNSA is unable to accomplish such tasks within the current year Congress should take positive action to further strengthen the mandate and support needed to adequately manage the national nuclear weapons program.

1872160588Istanbul: al-Matba'a al-Mahmudiyah 1289 H / 1872. Significant hajj texts by two distinguished scholars Rare first edition combining two important and complementary texts which outline the rites of hajj and umrah with descriptions of Mecca Medina and Jerusalem; an online institutional search locates five copies only: Library of Congress Stanford Ohio State Utah and University of Basel; included is the first printed edition of Majmu'at al-manasik by the eminent 16th century Hanafi scholar Rahmatullah al-Sindi. Rahmatullah al-Sindi d. 993 H/ 1585 CE was as his name implies born in Sind in modern day Pakistan. As a young man he fled with his father to Hejaz "frequently the destination for Sindhi scholars fleeing imperial unrest" Baig p. 63. Having completed his studies at Mecca under the Indian Sunni scholar al-Muttaqi he proceeded to Medina where he lectured in hadith literature. In 1574 he travelled to India accompanying Haji Begu empress consort of the Mughal emperor Humayun who had just completed the hajj. He visited Agra and read hadith with the distinguished historian and translator 'Abd al-Qadir Badayuni before teaching at Ahmadabad. Returning to Hejaz he "contributed to a new generation of Hanafi scholarship that was steeped in the hadith sciences and was intimately connected to political and intellectual developments in South Asia The vast oeuvre of Rahmatullah al-Sindi's work was on 'ilm al-manasik the discipline of the rites of pilgrimage. He wrote encyclopaedic tomes for scholars as well as abridgements as hajj guides for general pilgrims thus encompassing both scholarly and non-scholarly communities. Rahmatull h wrote his largest Jam' al-Manasik wa Naf' al-Nasik The Compilation of Rites and the Benefit of the Pilgrim in 950/1543 in Medina while still in his early twenties this is not to be confused with the work of the same name by Gümüshânevî. Though it initially attracted local opposition it became a landmark in the field that Hanafi scholars in South Asia and the Ottoman Empire consulted for centuries. Drawing upon more than 150 sources of Hanafi law Rahmatull h laid out in encyclopaedic detail the rulings of pilgrimage claiming to have produced an unprecedented compilation striving to synthesize the vast array of differences amongst Hanafi scholars" ibid. 65. Fittingly he died at Mecca. On the page Rahmatull h's text surrounds that of the Turkish mystic Ahmed Ziyauddin 1813-1893 known as Gümüshânevî or Kumushkhanawi. Gümüshânevî's text Jam' al-Manasik wa Naf' al-Nasik The Compilation of Rites and the Benefit of the Pilgrim was also published separately the same year. "Ziyauddin Gümüshânevî had been initiated into the Khalidiya a branch of Naqshbandiya Sufiism in 1847 by Shaykh Ahmad b. Sulaiman al-Arwadi After his initiation Gümüshânevî acquired a steadily expanding following which met under his guidance at the Fatma Sultan mosque in the Cagaloglu section of Istanbul. Numerous members of the Ottoman bureaucracy became his followers and the tekke religious lodge he established was visited several times by Sultan Abdulhamid II. In addition to activities conventionally associated with Sufi shaykhs Gümüshânevî was remarkable for enlisting with his murids Sufi novices to fight on the eastern front in the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877; for establishing a printing press to produce works written by himself and others; and for setting up public libraries in Trabzon Rize and Of" Gross p. 118. The present work may have been published by Gümüshânevî's own press in Istanbul. It is lithographed throughout in naskh script the first 16 leaves comprising a comprehensive index and the page preceding decorated with simple biomorphic motifs in the hatâyî style; the opening of the text is embellished with an intertwining foliate headpiece. Lithography was introduced to Ottoman Turkey in 1831 by Henri Cayol a Marseille printer who established a press at Istanbul under the patronage of the admiral and statesman Koca Hüsrev Mehmed Pasha. Lithography proved a very popular medium as it "reproduced the beauty of the handwritten Arabic script in a way which the type-face of the letterpress could not equal" Flemming p. 153. Octavo 240 x 176 mm. Contemporary envelope-flap binding of black quarter sheep green pebble-grain paper boards. A little wear to edges occasional foxing and browning yet this remains a very good copy.
