Atomic Dreams

The New Nuclear Evangelists and the Fight for the Future of Energy

Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow . 2025 . Bvt Lib 363.1799 TUH


AWFUL citation-notes process. Write down the citation number and the chapter title, look up the chapter number in the table of contents in the front, then find the chapter number in back and the citation number below it. NO INDEX There is no practical reason for this There is plenty of room on the NOTES chapter number line to include chapter titles. If this is the policy at Algonquin Books, I will avoid purchasing their books, and steer my author friends elsewhere. I hope this page is useful to other readers (if any) of this book.
