December 31, 1965, brought to a close the International Years of the Quiet Sun (IQSY 1964-1965). The rich harvest of scientific results produced by this intensive study of the vast region between the sun and the earth is published in a series of 7 volumes, under the general title of Annals of the IQSY. The General Editorial Board for this project consists of 19 distinguished scientists gathered from 10 countries, with Professor W. J. G. Beynon as Chairman and Dr. C. M. Minnis as General Editor.  The IQSY was sponsored by the International Council of Scientific Unions. Its geophysical and solar observations were carried out by scientists in more than 70 countries. Since the dates of the IQSY were chosen to coincide with the period of minimum activity in the 11-year solar cycle, the results obtained form a complement and counterpart to those obtained in the International Geophysical Year (IGY 1957-1958), when the sun was in the most agitated state ever observed.

&quot;Pike, whose earlier study (Viet Cong: the Organization and Techniques of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam, MIT-81)was justly acclaimed as the best single monograph on the murky politics of Viet-Nam, now offers his prognosis concerning its postwar politics. The book offers a careful analysis of the 'contenders and objectives' with equal emphasis on the often clashing postwar aims of the various internal and external forces that are likely to influence the eventual settlement.&quot; &mdash;Choice As background, Pike surveys the sweep of events from early times to the present and establishes the milieu of the life of the people in its social-psychological and its historical-political aspects. From this basis of understanding, he traces for the reader alternative possible outcomes of the struggle and evaluates their likelihood. These include the total victory or defeat of each side, or political settlement by means of formal or de facto accommodation. This careful examination or variables and contingencies is much more meaningful than flat prediction because in so complex and delicate a situation a small variation can produce widespread and unexpected results that are likely to be overlooked in a simple extrapolation of present trends.

Publication of this book completes a project begun with the first volume, Reactor Physics and Control. These books are the product of Project SIFTOR (Safety Information for the Technology of Reactors), a coordinated effort sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to evaluate critically, organize, and generalize the growing body of information concerned with safety problems in reactor design and operation. Many leading authorities have contributed to this project, and their studies range in treatment from normal, day-to-day operation to catastrophic accidents. The history of specific accidents is reviewed, as is that of destructive tests ("intentional accidents"). The results of numerous theoretical and experimental studies of reactor excursions ("run-aways") are synthesized by mathematical models. The problems of containing or confining the energy and radioactive debris that would be released by a serious accident at a reactor installation are considered in detail, as are the safety problems associated with non-nuclear phases of reactor design: mechanical components, chemical reactions, fluid flow, and heat transfer. Contents: "Materials and Metallurgy," Thomas O. Ziebold; "Fuel Elements," D. Gurinsky and S. Isserow; "Mechanical Design of Components for Reactor Systems," N. J. Palladino; "Fluid Flow," S. Levy; "Heat Transfer," W. Rohsenow and H. Fenech; "Chemical Reactions," L. Baker; "Fission Product Release," G. W. Parker and C. J. Barton; "Fission Product Behavior and Retention in Containment Systems," L. Silverman; "Radioactive Waste Management," W. Rodger and S. McLain; "The Concepts of Reactor Containment," T. J. Thompson; and "Containment and Confinement Structures," T. J. Thompson.
