About This Item
Chicago: The Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. Original edition. Ex-library.. Very Good. 28 cm; 384 pages. Cloth-bound volume of 12 issues. Duplicate surplus stamp of Library of Congress on front free endpaper. Later owner's stamp on free endleaves blacked out.
Lively forum of discussion of various scientific, social, and political implications of atomic energy as the post-war radioactive dust settled over the Pacific (and wherever else open-air tests of atomic weaponry took place). Opens with Einstein's "Plea for International Understanding." Issue #2 features a written debate between Einstein and four Soviet scientists (Semyonov, Vavilov, Frumkin, and Ioffe). A scenario describes the potential effect of an atomic bomb on Washington DC. Justice William O. Douglas contributes "Democracy and Communism." Harry Truman presents a "Message to the Atomic Scientists." Other contributors include Cardinal Cushing, Thomas E. Dewey, Max von Laue, and many other scientists and statesmen involved in the post-war debates

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
