Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good, approaching Near Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 1985. The November, 1985 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Anita Kunz cover art. 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 just 3 minutes of midnight as of late 1985. That's about as close as it had been to that point. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 57 pp. A stout Very Good; subscriber's label at front cover, faint age-toning at perimeter of the white covers; no other exterior flaws, and the interior is quite literally as new and immaculate.

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,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence - a geopolitical instrument that became more than a nuclear watchdog. Feature articles in this now-vintage 1987 issue: U.S.-Soviet Summit (11th); Weapons Design Impedes Test Ban; Spent Nuclear Fuel and Waste; Gorbachev's Policy Innovations; Sea Provocations; Les Aspin; Pugwash Council .
