Our Nuclear Adventure: Its Possibilities and Perils

First UK edition. Blue publisher's cloth in an unclipped jacket. A little toning and edgewear to the jacket, with a few spots, but overall presents very well. Binding square with some minor wear to the spine and offsetting from a spot on the jacket at the rear cover. Internally clean. An exploration of both the potential benefits and existential threats post the burgeoning feild of nuclear energy by atomic scientist D.G. Arnott. Arnott served as both Chairman and Secratary on the Atomic Sciences Committee of the Association of Scientific Workers and attended the UN's 1955 Geneva Conference of Atomic Scientists. A member of the CND, he refused to work on Britian's atomic bomb programme, but remained a pro-nuclear advocate for the peaceful potential of radioativity, particularly for medical purposes.
