The Menace Of Atomic Energy
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket - paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner.
A groundbreaking work of political science and environmental advocacy, The Menace of Atomic Energy presents a compelling and meticulously researched case against the widespread adoption of nuclear power. Written by legendary consumer advocate Ralph Nader and energy policy expert John Abbotts, the book argues that the dangers of atomic energy — from reactor accidents and radioactive waste to the proliferation of nuclear materials — far outweigh its purported benefits. With a tone that is urgent, authoritative, and uncompromising, the authors detail the failures of the nuclear industry and the regulatory bodies meant to oversee it, illustrating how corporate and government interests have consistently obscured the true risks from the public. A landmark text of the anti-nuclear movement, it remains a vital document in the debate over energy policy, public safety, and democratic accountability.
