Uranium is best known for the destructive power of the atom bombs, which ushered in the nuclear era at the end of World War II, but given the effectiveness of nuclear power, nuclear power plants were constructed around the developed world during the second half of the 20th century. While nuclear power plants were previously not an option and thus opened the door to new, more efficient, and more affordable forms of energy for domestic consumption, the use of nuclear energy understandably unnerved people living during the Cold War and amid ongoing nuclear detonations.

Almost comical
Revisado: 11-07-17
This being a digest version of the story, my expectations were low. The book does a decent enough job of essentially summarizing Grigori Medvedev’s “The truth about Chernobyl”, adding some accounts of eye witnesses excerpted from “Voices from Chernobyl “.
What is peculiar is having someone perform the narration with a southern drawl and butchering every name beyond recognition. Example: Sergei sound almost like sergeant. Not to mention how he pronounces the arguably weird names of government bureaucracies, such as “Soyuzelektromontazh”. You’d think you could get someone who’d put in perhaps a little effort to pronounce Russian names correctly, given this happened in the USSR.

In his provocative new book, evolutionary biologist Jerry A. Coyne lays out in clear, dispassionate detail why the toolkit of science, based on reason and empirical study, is reliable, while that of religion - including faith, dogma, and revelation - leads to incorrect, untestable, or conflicting conclusions.

A compelling case against superstition
Revisado: 09-11-15
A systematic and concise treatise of why religion has nothing of value to offer to society. It is a difficult read for both sides of the divide. How can one rationally argue the irrational?
