Description
This provocative book begins by asking whether American planning is different for dangers that are truly apocalyptic–ones that could end life on the planet or at least modern economic prosperity. It goes on to ask why Americans ignore so many problems like the greenhouse effect or an oil shortage or nuclear war, problems that have been forecast many times.

Whole World On Fire : Organizations, Knowledge, And Nuclear Weapons Devastation

Attribution
Lynn Eden
Publication Details
Book, Cornell University Press, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Whole World on Fire focuses on a technical riddle wrapped in an organizational mystery: How and why, for more than half a century, did the U.S. government fail to predict nuclear fire damage as it drew up plans to fight strategic nuclear war? In a narrative grounded in organization theory, science and technology studies, and primary historical sources (including declassified documents and interviews), Eden explains how the U.S. Air Force?s doctrine of precision bombing led to the development of very good predictions of nuclear blast?a significant achievement?but for many years to no development of organizational knowledge about nuclear fire.

The New Nuclear Danger : George W. Bush’s Military- Industrial Complex

Attribution
Helen Caldicott
Publication Details
Book, New Press, 2002
Description
Now, with unprecedented acts of terrorism fueling the American public’s willingness to grant its government broad power to wage war, the constant pressure from weapons makers to use military force?and by extension, buy more of their weapons?poses the very real threat of nuclear war. In the same way that a generation embraced Caldicott’s hugely influential Nuclear Madness and Missile Envy, The New Nuclear Danger stands to educate, alert, and mobilize millions of young people and concerned citizens, who must understand the planetary threat posed by overly-aggressive nuclear scientific establishments and weapons industries in a volatile world.
