Melville, NY: American Institute of Physics, 2016. Presumed First Edition, First printing of this issue. Wraps. 76 pages, plus covers. Illustrations (many with color). Corner of front cover creased. The featured articles are: Do quantum spin liquids Exist? by Takashi Imai and Young S. Lee; Meghnad Saha: Physicist and nationalist by Somaditya Banerjee; and The Big Science of stockpile stewardship by Victor H. Reis, Robert J. Hanrahan, and W. Kirk Levedahl. Victor Herbert Reis (born 11 February 1935) is a technologist and former U.S. government official, best known as the architect and original sponsor of the U.S. nuclear Stockpile Stewardship Program and its associated Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI), which resulted in the creation of several new generations of government-sponsored supercomputers. This Reis et al article addresses that In the quarter century since the US last exploded a nuclear weapon, an extensive research enterprise has maintained the resources and know-how needed to preserve confidence in the country's stockpile. Meghnad Saha FRS (6 October 1893 – 16 February 1956) was an Indian astrophysicist who developed the Saha ionization equation, used to describe chemical and physical conditions in stars. His work allowed astronomers to accurately relate the spectral classes of stars to their actual temperatures. He was elected to the Parliament of India in 1952 from Kolkata. Banerjee is the History of Science Section Chair at the Tennessee Academy of Science. More

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2010. Inaugural Issue! Presumed first edition/first printing thus. Wraps. 36, [4] pages, including covers. Includes illustrations. Most illustrations in color. Cover has slight wear and soiling. From a Los Alamos Experimental Physical Sciences website; "Research and experimental facilities spanning a broad range of complex scientific areas. Frequently our most basic research experiments stimulate solutions for some of the most intractable national security problems, such as: Nuclear weapons stewardship Homeland security Intelligence and information analysis Nuclear and alternative energy Our scientific success often stems from the capabilities of our world-class research and processing facilities, including our Los Alamos National Laboratory-based national user facilities: Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) The capabilities of our flagship facility, LANSCE, afford us a convenient and powerful opportunity to test our ideas. We often combine forces with colleagues in theoretical physics, high performance computing, and computational science to formulate experiments that can validate theories and computational models.

Washington DC: Korea Economic Institute of America, 2016. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Trade paperback. iv, 299, [1] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Endnotes. Gilbert Rozman is the Emeritus Musgrave Professor of Sociology and the editor-in-chief of The Asia Forum, a bi-monthly, on-line journal on international relations in the Indo-Pacific region. He taught at Princeton from 1970 to 2013. His specialization is Northeast Asia, including modernization, national identities, mutual perceptions, regionalism, and strategic thinking. His work has involved comparisons—of socialism and the transition away from the traditional forms of it; of Confucian legacies and their impact on modern societies; of national strategies for regionalism and how they conflict with each other; and of the sources of distrust in bilateral relations and in relations with the United States. Korea Economic Institute (KEI) was founded as the first U.S. “non-profit” institution in 1982 dedicated to promoting dialogue and understanding between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the United States on economic, political, and security relations. KEI is led by President & CEO Donald Manzullo, former Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Vice President Mark Tokola, LL.M., a 38-year veteran U.S. diplomat and former Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. Since 1989, KEI has organized four panels of experts to present papers on issues related to the Korean peninsula at academic conferences. The papers discussed at this symposium are subsequently published in KEI’s Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies journal. More

Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos or LANL for short) is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory initially organized during World War II for the design of nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project. Los Alamos was selected as the top secret location for bomb design in late 1942, and officially commissioned the next year. It was known as Project Y, Los Alamos was the centre for design and overall coordination, while other labs concentrated on the production of uranium and plutonium bomb fuels. Los Alamos was the heart of the project, collecting together some of the world's most famous scientists, among them numerous Nobel Prize winners. With the ending of the cold war, the lab turned increasingly to civilian missions. Today, Los Alamos is one of the largest science and technology institutions in the world. It conducts multidisciplinary research in fields such as national security, space exploration, nuclear fusion, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing. More

Los Alamos was selected as the top secret location for bomb design in late 1942, and officially commissioned the next year. At the time it was known as Project Y, one of a series of laboratories located across the United States given letter names to maintain their secrecy. Los Alamos was the centre for design and overall coordination, while the other labs, today known as Oak Ridge and Argonne, concentrated on the production of uranium and plutonium bomb fuels. Los Alamos was the heart of the project, collecting together some of the world's most famous scientists, among them numerous Nobel Prize winners. The lab's existence was announced to the world in the post-WWII era, when it became known universally as Los Alamos. With the ending of the cold war, the lab turned increasingly to civilian missions. Today, Los Alamos is one of the largest science and technology institutions in the world. It conducts multidisciplinary research in fields such as national security, space exploration, nuclear fusion, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing. The town of Los Alamos, New Mexico, directly north of the lab, grew extensively through this period. More
