Synopsis "Nuclear Weapons and Explosions –Environmental Impacts and other Effects" is a unique book in terms of coverage, scope, elaboration, usefulness and futuristic prospective. It covers the subject area of major impacts of nuclear weapons and explosions in its totality and gives a detailed fat sheet on nuclear weapons accidents. A nuclear weapons derived its destructive force from nuclear reactions of fission or fusion, thus making even a nuclear weapon with a relatively small yield significantly more powerful than the largest conventional explosives. Consequently, a single weapon is capable of destroying an entire city like Hiroshima. Nuclear explosives have been tested and used for various non-militaty uses. Nuclear explosions produce both immediate and delayed destructive effects such as blasts and radioactive fallouts. The impacts and injuries caused by nuclear blasts and resulting radiation effects causing cancer, congenital defects, mental retardation, immune destruction, cancer, stillbirths and other health problems is discussed in detail. Besides the blast and radiation damage from individual bombs, a large scale nuclear exchange between nations could conceivably have a catastrophic global effect on climate and pollute vast amounts of soil and water. Te book is divided into seven chapters and is a must read and addition for all concerned with nuclear safety.
