2.		Mortal Lessons: Notes on the Art of Surgery from Harcourt Brace Price: $6.73 Customer Review: Richard Selzer's book "Mortal Lessons" is only one of the masterpieces that has come from this brilliant writer over the decades.

6.		Welcome to Shirley: A Memoir from an Atomic Town from PublicAffairs Price: $5.99 Customer Review: To begin with, I absolutely loved this book. The writing is deeply engaging and elegiac. The characters and anecdotes which populate Kelly McMasters' memoir are pitch-perfect; I can say this with some authority having grown up on Long Island as well. This book filled me with wistful nostalgia for... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Chemistry of Hazardous Materials with MyFireKit (5th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $74.24 Customer Review: I have taken the fire course associated with this series of books and this edition is the best yet.

10.		Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer from New Press Price: $6.00 Customer Review: Even the major opponents of nuclear power fail to state CO2 and all other pollutants are generated by the fossil fuel burned to mine, mill, and process the ore into fuel rods.

11.		Resisting Global Toxics: Transnational Movements for Environmental Justice (Urban and Industrial Environments) from The MIT Press Price: $17.00 Customer Review: Chapters 4 thru 6 are the most worthwhile parts of this book.

12.	[no image]	The enhancement of n-heptane vapor incineration using ozone and hydrogen peroxide from University of Central Florida Customer Review: Previous reviewers have described this book as "life changing", and I don't know what I'm looking for in a book to change my life but it wasn't here.

14.		Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence and Survival? A Scientific Detective Story. from Dutton Adult Price: $9.57 Customer Review: I first bought this book when it initially came out and found it fascinating.

We all know the kind of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		Bravo for the Marshallese: Regaining Control in a Post-Nuclear, Post-Colonial World (Case Studies on Contemporary Social Issues) from Wadsworth Publishing Price: $31.60 Customer Review: What could have been a change-making ethnography is instead an error filled and one sided rant. Barker makes several glaring factual errors that a good editor should have caught, not the readers. She is so clearly biased in favor of the Marshallese (who admittedly were wronged) that she fails to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technician's Epa Certification Guide from D-Amp Publications Price: $29.95 Customer Review: The last printing of this book is 2004. The information is dated. The answer keys are full of errors. Until I take the certification test, I can't be too certain of the quality of this book, but I can be certain that a copy editor was needed before publication. At this point, I feel I've wasted my... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

24.		Three Mile Island: A Nuclear Crisis in Historical Perspective from University of California Press Price: $10.99 Customer Review: A brilliant piece that is both a historical and technical account of the real excitement and near disaster that was Three Mile Island.

Instead of engaging in fingerpointing, the author has taken the high road and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		The Atomic Bomb: Voices from Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Japan in the Modern World) from M.E. Sharpe Price: $14.50 Customer Review: Certain essays from this book were requirements for an international relations class I took. After reading two of the stories I had to read the entire book.

26.		Environmental Organic Chemistry (Environmental Science and Technology Series) from Wiley-Interscience Price: $99.00 Customer Review: Compared to the 1st edition this text is about twice the size. It is a monstrously large book. However, the book fails to teach the concepts in a clear fashion required when one is just starting in the field. Too much attention is spent to minute details that confound the subject. A great deal of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.

30.		Health Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation: A Startling Look at the Effects of Electropollution on Your Health from Piccadilly Books Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I was a bit disappointed in this small book by Bruce Fife on EMFs. He sets such a high standard in his other books that I was perhaps expecting too much. This is very introductory without the comprehensive discussion I have come to expect from Dr Fife.
