About this listen

The spread of nuclear weapons to unstable third world countries means that despite the dramatic improvement in US/Soviet relations, we are living in a time of unprecedented danger of nuclear war.

In 1982, Professors Sagan and Turco made known their discovery of the concept "nuclear winter", a widespread cold and dark, resulting in agricultural collapse and world famine, that would be generated in even a "small" nuclear war. It was a landmark discovery that revealed in the starkest terms how vulnerable our civilization is to the long-term environmental effects of nuclear war.

Carl Sagan, Pulitzer prize-winning science writer, and Richard Turco, tell the personal story of their findings, and how, despite the much-heralded thawing of the Cold War, there are dangerous inadequacies in nuclear policy and doctrine that need to be addressed.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Still the world is on the brink, still our nations harbour this terrible weapon and still others want to have the bomb. What is it about humanity that war is more important than living together in peace and working for the greater good of all mankind! This book just underlines what we already know.... We never learn.

... And we haven't learnt anything!
