Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"It is now a quarter of a century since nuclear energy was
introduced to the public. Its introduction was made in the most
dramatic, but unfortunately in the most destructive way - through
the use of a nuclear weapon. "Since that introduction enormous
strides have been made in developing the peaceful applications of
this great and versatile force. Because these strides have always
been overshadowed by the focusing of public attention on the
military side of the atom, the public has never fully understood or
appreciated the gains and status of the peaceful atom. "This book
is an attempt to correct, in some measure, this imbalance in public
information and attitude. It is a compilation of remarks, and
excerpts of remarks, that I have made in recent years in an effort
to bring to the public the story of the remarkable benefits the
peaceful atom has to offer man. This is a story that grows with the
development and progress of the peaceful atom. It must be told so
that we can learn to use the power of nuclear energy wisely and
through this use help to build a world in which the military
applications of the atom will never again be a threat to mankind."
