Book Description
Excerpt from Total Atomic Defense It is hard to imagine how the human race lived before the age of fire. The cooking pot and water jug molded from soft clay and baked to durable hardness in a fired pit, the axe-head and arrow-tip of fire-splintered flint, the metal knife blade, the hammer, the saw, the clock, the navigator's compass, the printing press, the steam engine, the machine reaper and on up to the robotistic machinery of the modern age - all are products of the first great basic art given to man, the art of producing a fire by artificial means. Without fire to change the texture of substances, no apparatus, tool or utensil could ever have been made. And now, after thousands of years since the age of fire began, there has been placed in the hands of man a second great basic art, one which may prove even greater than the art of kindling a fire. It is the art of smashing atoms, to get from them an energy millions of times more powerful than the energy released from any substance by the action of fire.

Atomic Audit
Author: Stephen I. Schwartz
Publisher: Brookings Inst Press
ISBN: 9780815777748
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 680
Book Description
Based on four years of extensive research, Atomic Audit is the first book to document the comprehensive costs of U.S. nuclear weapons, assembling for the first time anywhere the actual and estimated expenditures for the program since its creation in 1940. The authors provide a unique perspective on U.S. nuclear policy and nuclear weapons, tracking their development from the Manhattan Project of World War II to the present day and assessing each aspect of the program, including research, development, testing, and production; deployment; command, control, communications, and intelligence; and defensive measures. They also examine the costs of dismantling nuclear weapons, the management and disposal of large quantities of toxic and radioactive wastes left over from their production, compensation for persons harmed by nuclear weapons activities, nuclear secrecy, and the economic implications of nuclear deterrence. Atomic Audit concludes with recommendations for strengthening atomic accountability and fostering greater public understanding of nuclear weapons programs and policies.
