Abstract
In the April–May issue of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists the editors present a new section which, it is intended, will contain information concerning articles and books of interest on atomic energy. The first contribution is a bibliography surveying the literature now available. M. C. Leikend, who is consultant in science on the staff of the Library of Congress, has compiled a bibliography which covers the period March 1, 1946–February 1, 1947, and which is printed, by permission of the Library of Congress, on pages 127–35 of the Bulletin. The alphabetical list contains 284 references, and supplements the bibliography of “Books and Articles on Scientific and Political Aspects of Atomic Energy” which was published in the Report of the Special Committee on Atomic Energy, U.S. Senate, issued in 1946. The editors, in addition, direct attention to the list of the first 270 atomic energy papers to be declassified by the Atomic Energy Commission or by its predecessor, the Manhattan Engineering District, details of which can be obtained from the Office of Technical Services, U.S. Department of Commerce (see also p. 445 of this issue).
