2.		Mortal Lessons: Notes on the Art of Surgery from Harcourt Brace Price: $5.87 Customer Review: In 1985, flush with deliight over Richard Selzer's (first, I believe) book, I called information for New Haven, CT and the doctor himself answered the phone.

He was - and is - a truly wonderful person and while his writing may not appeal... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.	[no image]	Hazardous Waste Management from McGraw-Hill Companies Price: $90.00 Customer Review: Very nice and kind seller.... although the book was not as well kept as I expected,at least had all the pages in it...

11.

19.		Megawatts and Megatons: The Future of Nuclear Power and from University Of Chicago Press Price: $22.49 Customer Review: For me this was a required text for a college course on nuclear proliferation, terrorism, and energy.

20.		Hostages of Each Other: The Transformation of Nuclear Safety since Three Mile Island from University Of Chicago Press Price: $18.50 Customer Review: A fascinating account of how the US nuclear power industry got its act together largely without regulatory input, but rather on the assumption that if there was one more major mishap, the public would demand the end of their business.

23.		Three Mile Island: A Nuclear Crisis in Historical Perspective from University of California Press Price: $12.25 Customer Review: This book had interest for me since I was only a few minutes away from Three Mile Island when all of this was happening. I was 19 and there was a lot of talk of a core melt down, centuries of devestation in central Pennsylvania, and tremendous loss of life. The movie The China Syndrom had just been... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		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.

25.		Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence and Survival? A Scientific Detective Story. from Dutton Adult Price: $8.40 Customer Review: The page themselves are in excellent condition and the book cost like 50 cents so as long as I ordered early or wasn't in a hurry I'd buy again.The book came within the time they allowed themselves but still took a few weeks. I was also unable to track the item to see if it had been shipped yet. The... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		The Limits of Safety from Princeton University Press Price: $25.25 Customer Review: This is an incredibly well-written and important book. It is a rare case where primary research is used to make some very fundamental points in a highly readable way. It deserves a very wide readership.

27.		Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer from New Press Price: $9.30 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.

28.		The Truth About Chernobyl from Basic Books Price: $59.97 Customer Review: ...as much of the narrative describes the movements of the personnel around the plant, post explosions. For one who has never toured a nuclear plant, I found it hard to visualise much of the technical descriptions. Other than that, it's a fascinating read - many lessons implicit.

29.		Confronting Environmental Racism: Voices From the Grassroots from South End Press Price: $6.00 Customer Review: Robert Bullard, whose work on environmental justice has really made "local" struggles for a cleaner environment much more visible in academic literature, along with Benjamin Chavis, Jr., a Church activist working to organize and support local struggles against environmental racism, have put together... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
