Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. He was professor emeritus at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Drell was a noted contributor in the fields of quantum electrodynamics and high-energy particle physics. The Drell-Yan process is partially named for him. Drell was active as a scientific advisor to the U.S. government, and was a founding member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group. William James Crowe Jr. (January 2, 1925 - October 18, 2007) was an admiral who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and as the ambassador to the United Kingdom under President Clinton. McGeorge "Mac" Bundy (March 30, 1919 - September 16, 1996) was an American expert in defense policy, serving as United States National Security Advisor to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He was president of the Ford Foundation from 1966 through 1979. In 1953 as its youngest dean worked to develop Harvard as a merit-based university. He also served as a scholar in residence at the Carnegie Corporation. This eminent trio of authors has written an important book. It provides a remarkably cohesive and edifying perspective on the U.S.-Russian nuclear relationship, the global scourge of nuclear proliferation, and the future role of nuclear weapons in international affairs. The authors establish a solid basis for U.S. leadership in reducing the world's reliance on nuclear weapons. Reducing Nuclear Danger reflects creative thinking disciplined by realism and prudence, and appreciation for the critical importance of global cooperation in making effective policy. It clarifies core principles and provides practical directions that should appeal strongly to a wide audience. The authors warn against complacency. New dangers have emerged, mainly in the form of nuclear proliferation within and outside the former Soviet Union.…

FIRST EDITION. 4to. 828 pp. Index. Navy cloth, silver stamped cover and spine titles. Fine. ISBN: 0521631491. "This volume provides for the first-time summaries, descriptions, and documentation for 14,815 letters written by or sent to Sir John Herschel (1792-1871). Herschel's numerous contributions to astronomy as well as to mathematics, physics, chemistry (especially photochemistry and photography), meteorology, philosophy of science, and scientific organization, led his British contemporaries to regard him as the most prominent scientist of his era. Because Herschel corresponded on a remarkable array of topics and with leading figures both in Britain and beyond, this volume gives scholars access to a wealth of revealing new information. The many new uses of the volume are enhanced by its Biographical Register, which identifies about 1500 of Herschel's correspondents, and its Index, which supplies 30,000 references. This volume is far and away the most extensive source of information on John Herschel ever published. Also included are bibliographies of Herschel's publications and of publications on him.".…
