Book First Edition
Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xxiii, [1], 164, [4] pages. Illustrated front cover. Notes. Conference Agenda. Index. Among the contributors are: Serge Schmemann, Bryan Hebir, Willing Swing, Raymond Jeanloz, Lucy Shapiro, Elizabeth Holmes, Christopher Stubbs, James Ellis, James Mattis, David Holloway, and James Goodby. Among the issues raised were: Environmental Effects, Nuclear War, Infectious Disease, Disruptive Technologies, Ethics, and Moral Reasoning. 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. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1949. He co-authored the textbooks Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic Quantum Fields with James Bjorken. Drell was active as a scientific advisor to the U.S. government, and was a founding member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group. He was an expert in nuclear arms control and cofounder of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, now the Center for International Security and Cooperation. George Pratt Shultz (December 13, 1920 - February 6, 2021) was an American economist, diplomat, and businessman. He is one of only two people to have held four different Cabinet-level posts. He played a major role in shaping the Reagan Administration's foreign policy. Andrei Sakharov holds an honored place in the pantheon of the world's greatest scientists, reformers, and champions of human rights. But his embrace of human rights did not come through a sudden conversion; he came to it in stages. Drawing from a 2014 Hoover Institution conference focused on Sakharov's life and principles, this book tells the compelling story of his metamorphosis from a distinguished physical scientist into a courageous, outspoken dissident humanitarian voice. His extraordinary life saw him go from playing the leading role in designing and building the most powerful thermonuclear weapon (the so-called hydrogen bomb) ever exploded to demanding an end to the testing of such weapons and their eventual elimination. The essays detail his transformation, as he appealed first to his scientific colleagues abroad and then to mankind at large, for solidarity in resolving the growing threats to human survival, many of which stemmed from science and technology. Ultimately, the distinguished contributors show how the work and thinking of this eminent Russian nuclear physicist and courageous human rights campaigner can help find solutions to the nuclear threats of today.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xxxi, [1], 432 pages. Abbreviations. Notes. Appendix A-D. Index. George Pratt Shultz (December 13, 1920 - February 6, 2021) was an American economist, businessman, diplomat and statesman. He served in various positions under three different Republican presidents and is one of the only two persons to have held four different Cabinet-level posts, the other being Elliot Richardson. Shultz played a major role in shaping the foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration. He graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He accepted President Richard Nixon's appointment as United States Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government. In 1970, he became the first director of the Office of Management and Budget, and he served in that position until his appointment as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1972. He accepted President Ronald Reagan's offer to serve as United States Secretary of State. He held that office from 1982 to 1989. Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. James Eugene Goodby (born December 20, 1929) is an author and former American diplomat. He became a Foreign Service Officer and remained in the Foreign Service until his retirement in 1989. Drawn from the third in a series of conferences the Hoover Institution at Stanford University on the nuclear legacy of the cold war, this report examines the importance of deterrence, from its critical function in the cold war to its current role. Recognizing that today's international environment is radically different from that which it was during the cold war, the need is pressing to reassess the role of nuclear weapons in deterrence in the world of today and to look ahead to the future. Among the topics addressed are: Deterrence, Nuclear Weapons, Decision-making, Arms Control, Verification, Compliance, and Enforcement.

Trade paperback. First Printing [Stated]. xxv, [1], 510 pages. Footnotes. Maps (with color). Illustrations (some in color). Appendices. Index. The Conference was sponsored by the Hoover Institution and the Nuclear Threat Initiative. Drawn from presentations made at the Hoover Institution's October 2007 conference, this collection of essays examines the practical steps necessary to address the current security challenges of nuclear weapons and to move toward the goal Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev envisaged in their historic meeting at Reykjavik: the elimination of all nuclear weapons. The distinguished group of contributors includes former officials of the past six administrationsâ "Republican and Democraticâ "along with senior scholars and scientific experts on nuclear issues. They discuss the critical issues involved in reducing the number of weapons, preventing the growth of new nuclear weapons capabilities, securing nuclear stockpiles worldwide, the challenges of verification and compliance with treaties to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation, preventing the spread of technology for nuclear fuel enrichment and reprocessing, dealing with regional animosities, and engaging the entire international community in the joint enterprise of reducing the nuclear threat. Among the contributors were: David Holloway, Bruce Blair, Rose Gottemoeller, Raymond Juzaitis, Robert Einhorn, Jack Matlock, Max Kampelman, Sidney Drell, George Shultz, and Henry Rowen. Among the topics covered are: Nuclear Weapons, Strategic Forces, De-Alerting, Verification, Compliance, Dismantlement, Nuclear Warheads, Fissile Materials, Enrichment, Reprocessing, Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, Proliferation, and Deterrence.
