Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very Good; see scans and description. Chicago: Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, Inc. The scarce February,1950 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, that being Volume VI, Number 2. 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 February1950. 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. (pages33 through 64 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after that fashion of the time). Very Good, with modest cover fade at perimeter and light crease, early owner's small signature at top right corner. See scan. Minor rear cover soil traces. Very modest, almost unnoticeable age-toning to interior pages is less than would ordinarily be expected. See all scans. Solidly bound. 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 change,[2] 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: Breeder and Homogeneous Reactor; Diary of Dr. Davis; UN General Assembly Debate; Soviet Quotas Position; much more. See scan of contents. Contributors include L.A. DuBridge; Lawrence R. Hafstead; Michael Polanyi; Francis W. Carpenter; Leo Szilard; Clifford Grobstein; R.E. Peierls; 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 stout condition. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course - not a bag. LPR59.…

Original Printed Wrappers. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1925. First Edition. Vol XII, No. 2, for 1925. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year- monthly designations for such an infrequent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 102 pp. + unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a plate fold-out with two panoramic wide angles, from Mount Hamilton, by William H. Wright. Very Good plus, really quite close to near fine; the major flaw being the common one that circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). One notable rear-cover chip at top, about 1" x 1.5". Otherwise, just occasional very small points of cover wear. A very handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others. In addition to a serious passel of photos by Walter Huber and Fred Herz, there are photo contributions by T.J. Hellman, Inez Mexia, William E. Colby, Joseph Dixon, H.P. Rankin, Frank H. Lewis, Philip S. Carlton, William H. Wright, Lee L. Stopple, Quong Jue, R.L. van Oosting, and several uncredited. SC2. Walter Huber, Fred Herz, T.J. Hellman, Inez Mexia, William E.

Soft Cover. Condición: Fine. First Edition Thus. 1985 date at title page. Scarce near fine translation of this classic work. Light shelf wear. Pages near fine; no writing. Bind fine, square. Features a new introduction by Lawrence H. White. Carl Menger (1840-1921) was the founder of the Austrian School of economics. Foundational Austrian economist looks at "method". Menger's method emphasized the subjective theory of value, arguing that prices arise from individuals' subjective valuations; rather than production costs. His approach rejected historical or cost-based explanations, focusing instead on how marginal utility guides human choice and market exchange. From review: "Best of this volume could be considered: Menger's groundbreaking discussion of the "organic" origin of money, law, markets, and social institutions. Menger combines Burke's critique of "the spirit of innovation" with Karl von Savigny's historical insights into the origins of customary law. Menger insists that there are many facets of common law, custom, and inherited social institutions like money and markets that advance common welfare. These ideas heavily influenced F.A. Hayek's revival of spontaneous order theorizing in the mid 20th century. Menger's analysis of the organic origins of law and money carries lasting weight beyond the confines of now-forgotten 19th century disputes in the German speaking world. Menger's groundbreaking analysis of the emergence of money and law may draw inspiration from Burke and Savigny, but goes beyond in the uniqueness of his insights and analytical clarity. And, note that the best sections on law and money are less than half the book. The rest possibly can be safely ignored. Recommended are the three chapters of Book III (on organic development) and the lengthy Appendix VIII (on law). This should suffice for most and the rest is additionally useful for the specialized scholar. Printed in the United States of America. 237 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
