<th class="key">Summary:</th>
<td>"The last century - especially the years from the development of the concept of nuclear fission in 1938 through the cessation of atmospheric nuclear testing by the United States and the Soviet Union in 1961 - has often been called the "atomic age." The dramatic stories of science breakthroughs, atomic espionage, weapons development, arduous policy decisions, and international crises haunted by the threat of nuclear holocaust are often buried deep in works that seem technically difficult and excessively detailed. In more than 500 A-Z entries, Encyclopedia of the Atomic Age provides the student and the general reader with a reliable and accessible reference to the atomic age as it unfolded in the 20th century." "Covering both the controversial fields of nuclear-weapons development and the peaceful use of nuclear energy, this work strikes an objective balance on many of the most debated issues of the period and carefully outlines some of the moral dilemmas of the atomic age. The international scope, with probing entries on the Soviet/Russian, British, French, Chinese, North Korean, and other national programs on nuclear energy use around the world, makes this book definitive and comprehensive. Entries also include brief biographical sketches of major scientists and government officials responsible for aspects of nuclear policy in the major nuclear nations. Clear and concise technical definitions and more extensive entries on treaties, organizations, government agencies, and major events are intended to help the beginning and advanced student find a path through the atomic age." "Suggested readings, numerous cross-references, and a detailed chronology, along with illustrative photos, maps, tables, lists of acronyms and abbreviations, a bibliography, and an index, make Encyclopedia of the Atomic Age an easy-to-use and essential reference for high school and college students, researchers, and general readers."--Book jacket.</td>
