Radiation — Exposure and its treatment: A modern handbook, Third Edition
by our
Brian P. Hanley.
This book covers what radiation is, where it comes from, biological
effects, history of radiation fears, and nuclear accidents.
It was heavily edited to be accessible to intelligent lay readers, and
contains over 400 scientific papers and other citations.
The book has been praised by physicians and laypeople alike.
Did you know, for instance, that in every 1.12 cubic miles of seawater,
there is enough U-235 to make a Hiroshima size atom bomb? And yet, we
hyperconcentrate seawater by evaporation, collect the salt, and prefer
it over mined salt on our food. This is a good touchstone for lay people
to understand radiation at a practical level. These amounts have been
confirmed practically by mining yellowcake uranium from the ocean at
roughly double the cost to mine it on land.

The War That Must Not Occur by our
Jean-Pierre Dupuy.
The possibility of a nuclear war that could destroy civilization has
influenced the course of international affairs since 1945, suspended
like a sword of Damocles above the heads of the world's leaders. The
fact that we have escaped a third world war involving strategic nuclear
weapons seems nothing short of a miracle.
