In "Megawatts and Megatons, world-renowned physicists Richard L.
Garwin and Georges Charpak offer an accessible, eminently
well-informed primer on two of the most important issues of our
time: nuclear weapons and nuclear power. They begin by explaining
clearly and concisely how nuclear fission and fusion work in both
warheads and reactors, and how they can impact human health. Making
a strong and eloquent argument in favor of arms control, Garwin and
Charpak outline specific strategies for achieving this goal
worldwide. But they also demonstrate how nuclear power can provide
an assured, economically feasible, and environmentally responsible
source of energy--in a way that avoids the hazards of weapons
proliferation. Numerous figures enliven the text, including
cartoons by Sempe.
