Theodore Taylor was one of the most brilliant engineers of the nuclear age, but in his later years he became concerned with the possibility of an individual being able to construct a weapon of mass destruction on their own. McPhee tours American nuclear institutions with Taylor and shows us how close we are to terrorist attacks employing homemade nuclear weaponry.
Editorial : Theodore B. Taylor was among the most ingenious engineers of the nuclear age. He created the most powerful and the smallest nuclear weapons of his time (his masterpiece, the Davy Crockett, weighed in at a svelte 50 pounds) and also spearheaded efforts to create a nuclear-powered spacecraft. But in his later years, Taylor became increasingly concerned that compact and powerful bombs could be easily built not just by nations employing experts such as himself, but by single individuals with modest technical ability and perseverance. McPhee tours American nuclear installations with Taylor, and we are treated to a grim, eye-opening account of just how close we are to witnessing terrorist attacks using homemade nuclear weaponry. The Curve of Binding Energy is compelling writing about an urgently important topic.
The story line was rich, the manual was comprehensive, the sound was sharp and varied, and the levels were rich and full of logic puzzles and combat. She is supposed to be writing her memoirsbut thats not exactly moving along either. But if you are trying to understand the Christian perspective on war, for a bible study or just personal growth, I would recommend other books like Cragie's The Problem of War in the Old Testament.. Mr stanek only made one mistake that stops me from giving all four of the books in this series 5 stars. Rossman won't take this wrong, but I don't know how anyone could stay awake with him droning on in the background?
I think this is a very helpful CD and if the other reviewer didn't find it helpful, perhaps she was trying to listen to it as an actual BOOK. It also gave me some insights into my own personality that really need some work.
