How researchers understood the atomic bomb’s effects on the human psyche before the recognition of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In 1945, researchers on a mission to Hiroshima with the United States Strategic Bombing Survey canvassed survivors of the nuclear attack. This marked the beginning of global efforts—by psychiatrists, psychologists, and other social scientists—to tackle the complex ways in which human minds were affected by the advent of the nuclear age. A trans-Pacific research network emerged that produced massive amounts of data about the dropping of the bomb and subsequent nuclear tests in and around the Pacific rim. Ran Zwigenberg traces these efforts and the ways they were interpreted differently across communities of researchers and victims. He explores how the bomb’s psychological impact on survivors was understood before we had the concept of post-traumatic stress disorder. In fact, psychological and psychiatric research on Hiroshima and Nagasaki rarely referred to trauma or similar categories. Instead, institutional and political constraints—most notably the psychological sciences’ entanglement with Cold War science—led researchers to concentrate on short-term damage and somatic reactions or even, in some cases, on denial of victims’ suffering. As a result, very few doctors tried to ameliorate suffering. But, Zwigenberg argues, it was not only that doctors “failed” to issue the right diagnosis; the victims’ experiences also did not necessarily conform to our contemporary expectations. As he shows, the category of trauma should not be used uncritically in a non-Western context. Consequently, this book sets out, first, to understand the historical, cultural, and scientific constraints in which researchers and victims were acting and, second, to explore how suffering was understood in different cultural contexts before PTSD was a category of analysis.

What must the mind of a defense policymaker be like? Can nuclear Holocaust be rationalized? Can reality be subverted by patriotism or competition? Can an intelligent person think the unthinkable as a viable possibility? This investigation into the psychology of defense planners and cabinet members is interesting and frightening.

This book is about how television may have helped its audience to know about nuclear fission. The contributors examine how television has tried to bring its viewers to consider something of the realities of nuclear war; and how television news and current affairs or in-depth analysis programs have tried to get across a grasp of some of the consequences of nuclear power. The studies contained in this volume will contribute to the body of knowledge about television and nuclear power and present a wide survey and bring the reader to the position where it is clear to see what the tasks of information systems such as television should be.

As a result, Rutherford is widely recognized today as the father of nuclear science. From his humble beginnings in rural New Zealand, Ernest Rutherford went on to travel the world, becoming a pioneering scientist, an influential statesman, and an important teacher and mentor to many other great scientists.

Dozens of states have long been capable of acquiring nuclear weapons, yet only a few have actually done so. Jacques E. C. Hymans finds that the key to this surprising historical pattern lies not in externally imposed constraints, but rather in state leaders' conceptions of the national identity. Synthesizing a wide range of scholarship from the humanities and social sciences to experimental psychology and neuroscience, Hymans builds a rigorous model of decisionmaking that links identity to emotions and ultimately to nuclear policy choices. Exhaustively researched case studies of France, India, Argentina, and Australia - two that got the bomb and two that abstained - demonstrate the value of this model while debunking common myths. This book will be invaluable to policymakers and concerned citizens who are frustrated with the frequent misjudgments of states' nuclear ambitions, and to scholars who seek a better understanding of how leaders make big foreign policy decisions.

This book is dedicated to the innocent victims of the nuclear war—to those who are dead, are dying, and will die because we have not aggressively exercised our nuclear option. It is also dedicated to those whose minds are filled with myths about nuclear energy, in the hope that this book will shed some light into the shadows of their mind-set. This book encourages the use of nuclear power to increase America’s energy capacity and also decrease her dependence on foreign oil. “The message that the book carries is not only true, but it is obvious. It is not only obvious, it is interesting; and not only obvious and interesting, but convincing for anyone whose mind leaves at least one crack open through which new and correct ideas may enter. This book should be read by all who want to diminish suffering and avoid conflict, by those who want to make real peace more probable.” —Edward Teller. Readers have commented: “I had no idea that Chernobyl was not so much an ‘accident’ as sheer socialist incompetence.” “I’ve never understood the ‘non-problem’ of the nuclear waste before.” “Now radiation doesn’t worry me so much. I understand it.”

The full text of the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review submitted to President Obama by Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates. This document lays out the nuclear strategy for the United States.
