Editorial Review

Gerard Piel on Arms Control: Science and Economics
- Book Review, by Kenneth W. Thompson

Book Description
Gerard Piel, one of the nation's foremost writers on science policy, sees the nuclear crisis as the paramount problem of our times. He has been persistent in analyzing its underlying causes and in calling for a greater sense of urgency in ameliorating the perils of conflict. The first original essay addresses the nuclear question. The other essays in this book are reprints of earlier essays written in the 1950s and '60s by Mr. Piel. While he draws on examples of developments in an earlier phase of the arms race, the principles are relevant today, the issues raised a quarter century ago still remain unresolved.

About the Author
Gerard Piel gave "Scientific American" its new start in 1948 and is today chairman of the board of its publishing company.
