Dr. James C. Rice has just published a book entitled:
Downwind of the Atomic State - Atmospheric Testing and the Rise of the Risk Society
Today we explore how the scientific community and U.S. government agencies overlooked, ignored, and denied the catastrophic fallout of decades of nuclear testing in the American West. In this peer-reviewed book Dr. Rice reveals his broad and in-depth findings on the history of these programs and their adverse impacts on life for those "downwind". The book and the conversation touch on thought-provoking evaluations of both the science and the sociological processes in play for the agencies, the people, and the communities affected, past and present.
