Although advanced technologies are the cornerstone of modern life,
few people understand how such technologies as robotics or nuclear
science actually work. Fewer still realize how--and how
dramatically--technology influences our society and culture.
Nuclear Technology, the newest volume in the Sourcebooks in Modern
Technology Series, is a reference guide that provides
nonspecialists with the most up-to-date information on seminal
developments in nuclear technology, as well as covering the social,
political, and technical impacts of those developments on everyday
life, both now and in the future. Included are:
- A detailed history of nuclear technology's evolution
- A discussion of civilian and military applications of nuclear
technology
- A chronology of major developments and discoveries
- Profiles of prominent scientists, politicians, popularizers,
and institutions
- Explanations of key principles
- A discussion of nuclear technology's major impacts and
implications
- An examination of major issues surrounding nuclear technology's
use
- Predictions of future advances
Nuclear Technology also offers a glossary of terms, a list of key
associations, a list of print and electronic information resources,
over 90 illustrations, and an index.
