How refreshing...a balanced, nonhysterical treatment.,

This review is from: Invisible Rays: A History of Radioactivity (Hardcover)
This a rather sweeping overview of the history of radioactivity from its earliest scientist observers to the current status of nuclear power throughout the world. G.I. Brown is a British scholar, which, as an American reader, I thought brought an element of humor and internationalism to the effort that probably would have been missing had the book been authored by an American. While it's not perfect, I highly recommend this book for those in search of a nuclear history that isn't steeped in politics and ideology, incessant historical second-guessing, or apocalyptic despair. It is a much needed work.
