Quarks and Sparks: The Story of Nuclear Power (Science and Society Series)

Rating:
Summary: Ignorance taints good intentions
Review: This very thin book appears to be an attempt to present anelememtary and forthright history of the evolution of nuclear scienceand its technological products. Nice idea. The books 'my weeklyreader' style has the charm of simplicity and its lack of morarlizing is refreshing but the glaringly inept and laughable explanations of certain basic nuclear processes cast doubt on the scholastic integrity of the authors and attentiveness their publisher. Too bad. They had a nice start. END
