Description
ALREADY NUCLEAR ENERGY AFFECTS US ALL
- the light we use - the hospital treatment we receive. Before long, it will revolutionize transport.
In fact, in the not-too-distant future, the harnessed power of the hydrogen bomb-if it does not destroy us all first-can make this earth a paradise.
Nuclear energy is a subject we should, indeed must, understand and in this book, specially written for PAN, a well-known writer on scientific subjects gives us the know-how.
Starting with the discovery of radium by Madame Curie in the nineties, step by step he takes the story of atomic energy to the end of our century-when quite fantastic changes will have taken place.
Crystal-clear, Egon Larsen's fascinating narrative enables us to understand basic principles and many complicated problems and processes that play such a part in our atomic age.
