Fallout: A Journey Through the Nuclear Age, From the Atom Bomb to Radioactive Waste

by Fred Pearce

From Hiroshima to Chernobyl, and Windscale to Bikini Atoll, humanityâ€s management of the power of atomic energy has been riven with danger, secrecy, deceit, human error and short-sighted politics. Environmental journalist Fred Pearce travels through former test sites, closed Soviet cities and toxic wastelands where radioactive wolves roam the streets, to explore the growing legacy of our nuclear past and the dilemmas facing us over decommissioning and future safety. Off-mint.
