Paperback. Condición: Near Fine. First Edition. "When the U.S. Army Forces dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, it meant the end of Japan as a war-making power - and the beginning of a new age. For, with this newly-released force, man can destroy himself or create a world rich and prosperous beyond all previous dreams" The Atomic Age Opens is the first book published on the realities of the use of atomic energy. THIS 1945 Pocket Books paperback anthology edited by Donald Porter Geddes and Gerald Wendt. Published just weeks after Hiroshima, introduced the American public to atomic science, nuclear weapons, and their potential consequences. Publication: First issued as Pocket Book #340 in August 1945, a paperback original (no prior hardcover). Later reissued in hardcover by World Publishing as part of the Forum Books series. Editors: Donald Porter Geddes and Gerald Wendt, both science writers/editors aiming to explain atomic energy to a general audience. Format: 252 pages, illustrated with diagrams and portraits, designed for accessibility to non-scientists. Content: A collection of essays on atomic physics, nuclear fission, and the implications of atomic weapons. Contributors included scientists and commentators contextualizing discoveries from Einstein, Bohr, Fermi, Meitner, and others. Themes: Optimism about atomic energy's potential for industry and medicine. Grave warnings about nuclear warfare and the need for international control.
