194863618Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago 1948. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago 1948. The December1948 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 December1948. Quarto illustrated staple-bound wraps 32 pp. pages 353 through 384 for the annual volume monthly 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 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: Message from Albert Einstein; UNAEC; International Control Discussions; Crushing of Genetics in the USSR; Atomic Deadlock; Russian Science & Politics. Writers include Albert Einstein; David F. Cavers; Edward A. Shils; E.M. Friedwald N.F. Mott H.C. Urey M.L. Oliphant; L.C. Dunn; H.J. Muller; Sir Alfred Zimmern; Karl T. Compton; Bernard Brodie.

Slight age-toning on the wrappers and very tiny nicks soiling and light wear very good or better. Two articles jointly written by Einstein and Kahler in response to two articles laying out anti-Zionist testimony given by Dr. Philip Hitti of Princeton before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. Both of Hitti's articles and the Einstein and Kahler articles were all published in The Princeton Herald. This publication doesn't include the Hitti articles but summarizes them in the Einstein and Kahler rejoinders. Scarce. The American Christian Palestine Committee unknown
1936H40351New York: Amateur Astronomers Association 1936. Very good. Old cloth 3-ring binder with acetate sheaths containing the issues. This started out as a 4 pp. periodical but expanded in later issues. In 1936 the journal merged with The Sky published by Hayden Planetarium which subsequently merged with The Telescope in 1941 to become Sky & Telescope which is still being published. Condition is mainly very good although the first three issues we have have some damage to fore-edges. The first issue has a supplementary sheet laid in "Professor Einstein Sends Greetings to the Amateur Astronomers Association" reprinting in facsimile the handwritten note with a printed translation and a facsimile of another note from Einstein. We have Vol. I nos. 1 & 2 April and May 1929; Vol. 2 nos. 1 September 1929 - 9 May-June 1930 -- the April 1930 issue has a cover story on the discovery of Pluto then considered the ninth planet. Pluto was first discovered on February 18 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff Arizona.The discovery was announced on March 13 1930 in the Astronomical Journal.; Vol. III nos. 1 October-November 1930 - 7/8 May-June 1931; Vol. IV nos. 1 September-October 1931 - 8 Summer 1932; Vol. V nos. 1 September-October 1932 - 3 March 1933 -- these expanded to 6 pp. each; Vol. VI nos. 1 - 3 Winter & Spring 1933-1934 - Summer 1934 -- beginning with Vol. VI these are 16 pp. each; with the Spring issue cover story on Hayden Planetarium; Vol. VII nos. 1 Autumn 1934 - 3 Spring 1935; Vol. VIII nos. 1 Autumn 1935 - 3 Spring 1936. We don't know if we're missing any or not but it's a nice early run of this rare astronomical journal. Amateur Astronomers Association unknown
