Stephanie Cooke, author of In Mortal Hands: A Cautionary History of the Nuclear Age will be speaking about and signing her book at the Centre Congregational Church on Wednesday, Aug 25 at 6:30PM.
From the Manhattan Project to the present Energy Crisis Cooke's provocative history of our failure to manage the power of the atom is perfectly timed. The mistakes of the past are on the verge of being repeated. Cooke's work is a call to understand and respect the power held in mortal hands.
"Diligent history of nuclear proliferation and peaceful nuclear energy makes a good case that they are intimately connected and equally out of control… Skillful, unsettling arguments that the world is headed toward nuclear disaster from two different directions.” –Kirkus
"In Mortal Hands should be read by all interested in nuclear issues and the history of the development of nuclear power. Politicians, journalists and academics will find it a most useful addition to their libraries. Readers that do not normally read books about nuclear energy will enjoy this very readable book. It will equip them to participate in the coming debate about the use of nuclear power as an energy source which many political leaders are advocating as a way of limiting global warming."—Frank Barnaby, past director of SIPRI, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
