***Winner of the L.H.M. Ling Outstanding First Book Prize 2020***
***Shortlisted for the Bread and Roses Award 2020*** Since the
first atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, the history of nuclear
warfare has been tangled with the spaces and places of scientific
research and weapons testing, armament and disarmament, pacifism
and proliferation. Nuclear geography gives us the tools to
understand these events, and the extraordinary human cost of
nuclear weapons. Disarming Doomsday explores the secret history of
nuclear weapons by studying the places they build and tear apart,
from Los Alamos to Hiroshima. It looks at the legacy of nuclear
imperialism from weapons testing on Christmas Island and across the
South Pacific, as well as the lasting harm this has caused to
indigenous communities and the soldiers that conducted the tests.
For the first time, these complex geographies are tied together.
Disarming Doomsday takes us forward, describing how geographers and
geotechnology continue to shape nuclear war, and, perhaps, help to
prevent it.

"In an age of competing demands on attorneys' time, where one is
never truly unreachable from the office, Kevin Houchin has written
a short but insightful guide to becoming the lawyer that you want
to be, instead of merely being the lawyer that circumstances have
molded you into. Houchin blends his principles with practical tips
on how to regain control over your professional life, from the
importance of "showing up" and making yourself known, to the need
to know thyself and determine what is it that YOU want yourself to
be. It is a short read, but it may be helpful in becoming the
reflective practitioner that you want to become." Jed
Sorokin-Altmann, Esq.
"Such a quiet, yet profound missive. I am encouraged that legal
practitioners will be able to avail themselves of this gentle aid
to wake them up and live consciously at such a critical juncture in
their personal and professional lives." Idara E. Bassey, J.D.,
LL.M.
Now that you are a parent, wearing clean underwear when you leave
home simply isn't enough. You've planned birthday parties,
playdates and education, but have you adequately planned for what
would happen if you were in an accident? What would happen in the
first 24 hours while the officials locate your family members and
arrange for your children's care? Are your plans sufficient to keep
your children in the care of people you know and trust during these
critical hours? And what about your money and home? Will your legal
documents keep your family together or tear them apart? In an
easy-to-read story format, Wear Clean Underwear takes you on a
journey to discover in fast, simple-to-understand terms exactly
what will happen based on your current plan, and what happens if
you don't have a plan. Showing you how to avoid unnecessary taxes
and a broken-down court system, the book guides you to transfer
your values, love, and support to your children and loved ones with
ease.
