## Overview

Romancing the Atom is a compelling nonfiction collection of ten historical vignettes that trace the complex and often troubling relationship humanity has had with nuclear power—from the Radium Girls of the 1920s to the Fukushima disaster. Featuring original interviews with experts and vivid storytelling, this used book in good condition offers a critical, readable exploration of nuclear energy’s social, environmental, and ethical dimensions.

## Description

In 1945, Albert Einstein said, "The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind." This statement seems more valid today than ever. Romancing the Atom: Nuclear Infatuation from the Radium Girls to Fukushima presents compelling moments that clearly depict the folly and shortsightedness of our "atomic mindset" and shed light upon current issues of nuclear power, waste disposal, and weapons development. The book consists of ten nonfiction historical vignettes, including the women radium dial painters of the 1920s, the expulsion of the Bikini Island residents to create a massive "petri dish" for post-World War II bomb and radiation testing, the government-subsidized uranium rush of the 1950s and its effects on Native American communities, and the secret radioactive material development facilities in residential neighborhoods. In addition, the book includes original interviews of prominent historians, writers, and private citizens involved with these poignant stories.
