Book Synopsis Survive the Bomb by : Eric G. Swedin
Download or read book Survive the Bomb written by Eric G. Swedin and published by Quarto Publishing Group USA. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the American government’s Cold War national defense measures and public communications regarding protection from nuclear disaster. The launch of Russia’s Sputnik satellite in 1957 began an era where American citizens were haunted by fears of annihilation. Baby Boomers will remember Bert the Turtle, who instructed them how to “duck and cover.” Survive the Bomb documents other U.S. government efforts to calm the collective psyche with nuclear survival handouts. These cheerful and naïve representations unintentionally inspired countless schoolchildren to question authority at an early age. This strange era reached its peak in 1962 with the Cuban Missile Crisis, lasting at least until the fall of the Berlin Wall. The nightmare still lingers today with the terrorist threat of dirty bombs and efforts by countries like Iran and North Korea to build their own nuclear arsenals. In addition to Civil Defense brochures and pamphlets from the period, Survive the Bomb includes: · Aftermath descriptions and casualty estimates at various distances from a nuclear blast · Civil Defense reports and recommendations to the United States Congress and President · Declassified nuclear wargame scenarios where the Department of Defense imagined the unimaginable · An introduction and commentaries by Cold War historian Eric G. Swedin
Book Synopsis Nuclear War Survival Skills by : Cresson H. Kearny
Download or read book Nuclear War Survival Skills written by Cresson H. Kearny and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers who have spent much time and effort learning the facts about effects of nuclear weapons now know that all-out nuclear war would not be the end of mankind or of civilization. Even if our country remained unprepared and were to be subjected to an all-out nuclear attack, many millions of Americans would survive and be in favorable conditions to live through difficult post-attack years. This book is written for the majority of Americans who, in a crisis threatening nuclear war, would want to improve their chances of surviving. It brings together field-tested instructions that have enabled untrained Americans to make expedient fallout shelters air pumps to ventilate and cool shelters, fallout meters, and other expedient life-support equipment. ("Expedient," as used in civil defense work, describes equipment that can be made by untrained citizens in 48 hours or less, while guided solely by field-tested, written instructions and using only widely available materials and tools.) Successive versions of these instructions have been used repeatedly and successfully by families working under simulated crisis conditions. These instructions have been improved repeatedly by Oak Ridge National Laboratory civil defense researchers over a period of eight years and are the heart of this book.

"It should serve as the definitive statement on the consequences of nuclear war."--Arms Control Today
Book Synopsis Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe by : Noam Chomksy
Download or read book Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe written by Noam Chomksy and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are two problems for our species’ survival—nuclear war and environmental catastrophe, ” says Noam Chomsky in this new book on the two existential threats of our time and their points of intersection since World War II. While a nuclear strike would require action, environmental catastrophe is partially defined by willful inaction in response to human-induced climate change. Denial of the facts is only half the equation. Other contributing factors include extreme techniques for the extraction of remaining carbon deposits, the elimination of agricultural land for bio-fuel, the construction of dams, and the destruction of forests that are crucial for carbon sequestration. On the subject of current nuclear tensions, Chomsky revisits the long-established option of a nuclear-weapon-free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East, a proposal set in motion through a joint Egyptian Iranian General Assembly resolution in 1974. Intended as a warning, Nuclear War and Environmental Catastrophe is also a reminder that talking about the unspeakable can still be done with humor, with wit and indomitable spirit.

Download or read book Survival City written by Tom Vanderbilt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the road to Survival City, Tom Vanderbilt maps the visible and invisible legacies of the cold war, exhuming the blueprints for the apocalypse we once envisioned and chronicling a time when we all lived at ground zero. In this road trip among ruined missile silos, atomic storage bunkers, and secret test sites, a lost battleground emerges amid the architecture of the 1950s, accompanied by Walter Cotten’s stunning photographs. Survival City looks deep into the national soul, unearthing the dreams and fears that drove us during the latter half of the twentieth century. “A crucial and dazzling book, masterful, and for me at least, intoxicating.”—Dave Eggers “A genuinely engaging book, perhaps because [Vanderbilt] is skillful at conveying his own sense of engagement to the reader.”—Los Angeles Times “A retracing of Dr. Strangelove as ordinary life.”—Greil Marcus, Bookforum

Book excerpt: Apocalypse Never illuminates why we must abolish nuclear weapons, how we can, and what the world will look like after we do. On the wings of a brand new era in American history, Apocalypse Never makes the case that a comprehensive nuclear policy agenda that fully integrates nonproliferation with disarmament, can both eliminate immediate nuclear dangers and set us irreversibly on the road to abolition. In jargon-free language, Daley explores the possible verification measures, enforcement mechanisms, and governance structures of a nuclear weapon-free world.

Book Synopsis The Complete Nuclear Survival Guide by : Tom W. Linden
Download or read book The Complete Nuclear Survival Guide written by Tom W. Linden and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was an N.C.O. instructor with the Royal Observer Corps for 12 years specialising in the Effects of Nuclear Weapons. I was given exemption from the entry exam due to my level of experience and became a member of the Institute of Civil defence giving me the appellation M.I.C.D. I remained a member between 1987 and 1992. I was for 4 years a North Yorkshire County Council Community Defence Adviser and helped to provide the countries first ever emergency survey of a town to provide an action plan for that community, that town was Harrogate. I also ran my own survival school in North Yorkshire in the 80's as well as a survival club for local kids. I suspect that there are many of you who would wish to be able to protect their families should our enemies decide to explode a 'dirty bomb' on British soil for example. We would I believe be extremely foolish to discount the potential for another Chernobyl or a Fuchishima type incident to occur affecting us here in the UK, Or to suffer our very own British nuclear accident as our nuclear plants grow ever older. This is not forgetting the dangers posed by the now developed long range nuclear weapons held by Iran and Syria, both of which I consider to be rogue states. And not forgetting North Korea and it's threat to launch nuclear missiles. Experiencing a nuclear event is almost impossible for us to contemplate for obvious reasons, as it would be the end of the world. But would it? We as a world have had around 2,000 nuclear test explosions and we are still here, the world has not ended, life goes on, does it not? The question is if you survived the initial effects of a nuclear explosion would you have the knowledge and the skills to survive the residual effects? That is where my Complete Nuclear Survival Guide comes in, as by keeping it with you in your bug-out-bag, you will not only know where to find it but if you bug-out, so along goes this valuable survival information although as you will read later. I actually recommend bugging-in. The Complete Nuclear Survival Guide will give you the facts and figures to SURVIVE!!! Tom W. Linden
