Seller's Description:
Dion Lerman (Cover Design) Very good. [4], 260, [2] pages. Foreword by Richard J. Barnet. Inscribed by author inside the front cover. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Minor edge soiling. Paul Rogat Loeb (born July 4, 1952) is an American social and political activist. Loeb was born in 1952 in Berkeley, California. He graduated from Stanford University and subsequently attended New York's New School for Social Research and worked actively to end the Vietnam War. He also began his writing and speaking career during this time. His first book, Nuclear Culture, examined the daily life of atomic weapons workers at the Hanford site in Tri-Cities, Washington. His writing has received much attention and been cited in Congressional debates. This work was buried by its initial publisher and then pulled from the market for over three years. It was published again because a number of people believed its message was worth getting out--and lawyers helped make it the author's property again. Chronicles the lives of the families who live and work at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and describes the effects of living at close quarters with a potentially devastating force of nature. Derived from a Kirkus review: Housewives, nuclear engineers, pipe fitters, an irascible editor, a stoned carpenter--all tell their stories in this book about the life and times of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, in Eastern Washington: the largest atomic energy and research complex in the world. The rub is that it turns out to resemble your average, middle-class American community. Hanford was founded in 1943 as a top secret military facility to manufacture plutonium for the Nagasaki bomb. It evolved into a civilian-administered complex of nuclear reactors, test reactors, labs, and vast nuclear construction projects. Loeb's people reminisce about the hush-hush past, tell what it's like to get contaminated, talk about their jobs and their feelings about nuclear power, and tell stories about their coworkers and superiors.
