Paperback. Zustand: New. Originally published in Spanish and now in its first bilingual edition, Puppet is a complex, challenging, and ultimately compelling narrative. It tells the story of Petra (Pat) Leyva and how she comes to terms with the murder of Puppet, a Chicano youth, and the subsequent police cover-up. Already an underground classic, Puppet will appeal to readers interested in the politics of the Chicano movement and in racial and feminist politics in the United States. The bilingual edition will be welcomed by professors who teach American Studies, Chicano Studies, and Chicana literature.…

Wraps. Zustand: Good. [2], 23, [1] pages including covers. Illustrations (many in color). Cover has tear at top front near spine, repaired with tape and other wear and soiling. Mailing information and sticker on back cover. National Security Science magazine showcases the importance, breadth, and depth of the Lab's scientific and technical work for solving challenges to national security to policy makers, the general public, academia, and scientific and technical experts. Los Alamos National Laboratory (or LANL; previously known at various times as Project Y, Los Alamos Laboratory, and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory) is one of two laboratories in the United States in which classified work towards the design of nuclear weapons has been undertaken (the other being Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). LANL is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory, managed and operated by Los Alamos National Security (LANS), located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The laboratory is one of the largest science and technology institutions in the world. It conducts multidisciplinary research in fields such as national security, space exploration, renewable energy,[4] medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing. The laboratory was founded during World War II as a secret, centralized facility to coordinate the scientific research of the Manhattan Project, the Allied project to develop the first nuclear weapons. In September 1942, the difficulties encountered in conducting preliminary studies on nuclear weapons at universities scattered across the country indicated the need for a laboratory dedicated solely to that purpose. The work of the laboratory culminated in the creation of several atomic devices, one of which was used in the first nuclear test near Alamogordo, New Mexico, codenamed "Trinity", on July 16, 1945. The other two were weapons, "Little Boy" and "Fat Man", which were used in the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Laboratory received the Army-Navy 'E' Award for Excellence in production on October 16, 1945. After the war, Oppenheimer retired from the directorship, and it was taken over by Norris Bradbury, whose initial mission was to make the previously hand-assembled atomic bombs "G.I. proof" so that they could be mass-produced and used without the assistance of highly trained scientists. Many of the original Los Alamos "luminaries" chose to leave the laboratory, and some even became outspoken opponents to the further development of nuclear weapons. In the years since the 1940s, Los Alamos was responsible for the development of the hydrogen bomb, and many other variants of nuclear weapons. In 1952, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was founded to act as Los Alamos' "competitor", with the hope that two laboratories for the design of nuclear weapons would spur innovation. Los Alamos and Livermore served as the primary classified laboratories in the U.S. national laboratory system, designing all the country's nuclear arsenal. Additional work included basic scientific research, particle accelerator development, health physics, and fusion power research as part of Project Sherwood. Many nuclear tests were undertaken in the Marshall Islands and at the Nevada Test Site. Presumed First Edition/First Printing thus. Barbara Maes, Leslie Sandoval, and Mercedes Martin (illustrator).…

National Security Science magazine showcases the importance, breadth, and depth of the Lab's scientific and technical work for solving challenges to national security to policy makers, the general public, academia, and scientific and technical experts. In this issue are articles on the Rethinking the Unthinkable, Debunking Six Big Myths About Nuclear Weapons, and Charlton Heston From Mount Sinai to Los Alamos. Boldly signed on the front cover Robert Thanks for all you done in briefing for our Secretary! Terry. This was for Dr. Robert Hanrahan. Terry was Houston T. Hawkins (invariably known as Terry). Terry Hawkins was a Senior Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and was the Senior Scientist, Principal Associate Directorate for Global Security (PADGS). He served on the Board of Directors of the American Center for Democracy and as a Distinguished Research Fellow with the Institute of Physical Science, McLean, VA. Throughout his career, he led successful S&T organizations involved in significant technical challenges and dynamic change. His leadership was focused on assembling the best teams possible and using multidisciplinary science and technology to develop truly "game changing" solutions. He was an internationally recognized expert on modern terrorism involving the potential use of weapons of mass destruction, Throughout his career at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and previously with the US Air Force, he led complex technical programs in advanced materials, prevention of terrorism, reconnaissance, intelligence, radiochemistry, forensics, treaty verification, nonproliferation, space, and support to the US warfighter.
