About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1949 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Full red cloth, gilt-on-black titles, [xiii], 273, [1] pp, index. Slight fading to spine & top edges of boards, bookplate on fpd. Book of the Month Club flyer for the book laid in. Dr. Bush, director of U. S. scientific research during World War 2 (and therefore head of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bombs), considers the future of warfare and civilization: "I have evidence that supports the two chief conclusions of this book. I believe, first, that the technological future is far less dreadful and frightening than many of us have been led to believe, and that the hopeful aspects of modern applied science outweigh by a heavy margin its threat to our civilization. I believe, second, that the democratic process is itself an asset with which, if we can find the enthusiasm and skill to use it and the fairth to make it strong, we can build a world in which all men can live in prosperity and peace." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. BOMC. . VG/No dj. 22 X 15 cm.

Terms of Sale
Twin City Antiquarian Books
Books are offered subject to prior sale. You may return any book within 14 days for a refund; if it was not as described, we will also refund return shipping costs (but please e-mail us first). You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
