Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The August, 1948 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 mid-1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 225 through 256 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). Fine; no flaws. Even the inevitable page paper toning is almost nonexistent. 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 change,[2] 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: Edward U. Condon Cleared by Atomic Energy Commission; AEC Medical Program (Isotopes Symposium); Joyce Clennam Stearns; British Scientists on International Atomic Control; Atomic Power Prospects; Atomic Peace with Russia?: United Nations & Atomic Energy News; On the Application of Intelligence to World Affairs; Middle-Run International Planning. More, of course; see scan of contents. Contributors include William T. R. Fox; Shields Warren; Arthur Holly Compton (discoverer of The Compton Effect); Henry L. Stimson; M. H. L. Pryce; Philip Quincy Wright; Peter Kihss; and the editors. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR30.…

Dirac, Paul A. M. (1902-84); Rudolf Peierls (1907-95); Maurice H. L. Pryce (1913-2003). On Lorentz invariance in the quantum theory. Offprint from Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society 38 (1941). 193-200 pp. 257 x 180 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Vertically creased, light toning but very good. First Edition, Offprint Issue. In the 1930s Subramanyan Chandrasekhar, who would win the 1983 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the structure and evolution of stars, came up with a generalized standard model for certain types of stars that made use of relativistic Fermi-Dirac statistics and other quantum-mechanical concepts. Arthur Eddington, the distinguished British astrophysicist, objected to Chandrasekhar's methods and his conclusions, arguing against them both in person and in print. In the present paper Dirac, Peierls and Pryce countered Eddington's arguments, "[showing] in particular that the dynamics of atomic systems did allow one to perform correctly all of the procedures [Eddington] had criticized. Thus, they simply confirmed the general opinion of the community of physicists, namely: 'Eddington's system of mechanics is in many respects completely different from quantum mechanics'" (Mehra & Rechenberg, The Historical Development of Quantum Theory, 6, p. 887). .…
