CHERNOBYL:
THE EVENT AND ITS AFTERMATH
E-Book*
and CD
Format
Edited by Leonard
Berkowitz,
Norma Berkowitz, and Michael Patrick
Written by experts in their
fields, the chapters taken together demonstrate that the
accident and the aftermath cannot be attributed to any one
set of factors. We need these technical, biological, political,
historical, psychological, or sociological perspectives
if we are to arrive at an adequate analysis of this highly-complex
incident and its farreaching consequences.
This book contributes greatly to our
understanding of why this catastrophic event occurred and
what influences shaped the reactions of millions of people
who were directly affected. (approx. 300 pages)
