This book presents a compelling account of atomic development over
the last century that demonstrates how humans have repeatedly
chosen to ignore the associated impacts for the sake of
technological, scientific, military, and economic expediency. In
1945, Albert Einstein said, "The release of atomic power has
changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to
this problem lies in the heart of mankind." This statement seems
more valid today than ever. Romancing the Atom: Nuclear Infatuation
from the Radium Girls to Fukushima presents compelling moments that
clearly depict the folly and shortsightedness of our "atomic
mindset" and shed light upon current issues of nuclear power, waste
disposal, and weapons development. The book consists of ten
nonfiction historical vignettes, including the women radium dial
painters of the 1920s, the expulsion of the Bikini Island residents
to create a massive "petri dish" for post-World War II bomb and
radiation testing, the government-subsidized uranium rush of the
1950s and its effects on Native American communities, and the
secret radioactive material development facilities in residential
neighborhoods. In addition, the book includes original interviews
of prominent historians, writers, and private citizens involved
with these poignant stories. More information is available online
at www.romancingtheatom.com. Draws from top-secret government and
military documents from the history of atomic development, archival
documents from the Library of Congress, and letters from Albert
Einstein and other prominent scientists during the 1950s and 1960s
Presents chronological histories of events such as the displacement
and relocation of the Bikini Islanders, uranium mines on Native
American lands, and the cleanup of a secret uranium milling
facility in a residential neighborhood in Oxford, Ohio Contains
various maps including radioactive cleanup sites in the United
States and other parts of the world Includes many photographs and
illustrations that accompany the text Provides a bibliography
containing a significant collection of books, magazine articles,
newspaper reports, movies, comics, government documents, and other
related archival materials
