Description
The Curve of Binding Energy: A Journey into the Awesome and Alarming World of Theodore B. Taylor
John McPhee explores the life and work of Theodore Taylor, one of the most brilliant engineers of the nuclear age, who became increasingly concerned about the possibility of an individual building a weapon of mass destruction.
Through his investigation, McPhee reveals how close American nuclear institutions are to potential terrorist attacks using homemade nuclear weaponry, making for a thought-provoking and timely examination of the risks and challenges facing the nuclear industry today.
