I started reading this book for uni and finished it because it was extraordinary. Helen Caldicott presents an entertaining yet informative picture of the world today and what we can do to save our planet. Written not as a textbook but more as a narrative, Caldicott explores threats to our planet such as population growth and global warming, and presents realistic and well-informed plans of attack to protect our planet

Caldicott, in concert with a large number of scientists, makes the case for much greater scrutiny of the claim by the nuclear power industry that nuclear power is clean and green. From the data presented here by Caldicott and her team of experts, the truth about nuclear power is more likely that it has never been clean, and when all aspects of the power generation are taken into account, it is far from green in its carbon footprint.
