Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the critical and largely forgotten history of fallout shelter design and the science behind it. The author guides readers through the early years of the Cold War, when the threat of nuclear war sparked intense research and development of structures that could protect people from radiation. The book explores how scientists and engineers grappled with understanding the complex physics of radiation, the characteristics of nuclear fallout, and the design of effective shielding. It reveals how the development of thermonuclear weapons, with their accompanying fallout threats, spurred a nationwide effort to understand the hazards of radiation and the best ways to protect against them. The book illuminates how the scientific pursuit of knowledge, often conducted in secret, intersected with government policy and shaped public awareness of a very real and frightening threat, and offers a valuable insight into the historical and scientific context of this crucial but now largely overlooked period of human history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528538268_0
