Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book captures the essence of a two-day conference bringing together experts from academia and defense to discuss behavioral science and civil defense. The ideas presented in this book highlight a major shift in civil defense planning that has occurred within the last decade. The book starts by examining the psychological impact of nuclear weapons and the public's apathy toward civil emergency planning. It shows that public perception of disaster has evolved from a belief that violence and hysteria would be rife under such conditions to one that while less fearful of immediate violence, does not think about disaster at all. The author suggests that this phenomenon has reduced most Americans to hopelessness and futility. The author concludes by expressing his conviction that Presidential support, coupled with Congressional support in the form of appropriations will be the spur needed to induce a change for the better in the public attitude toward civil defense preparedness. This fascinating dialogue between scientists and government officials on a subject of immense human significance raises important questions and offers insights that are essential for policymakers, behavioral scientists, and anyone concerned with civil defense and national security.
