The articles explore a wide variety of topical issues such as the effects of nuclear weapons, nuclear testing, offensive strategic weapons, defensive SDI or Star Wars weapons, nuclear nonproliferation and the social responsibility of scientists as well as a wide selection of articles which chronicle the history of nuclear weaponry. The authors also represent a broad spectrum of well known names in the physics community including Andrei Sakharov, Sidney Drell, Wolfgang Panofsky, Edward Teller, Frank von Hippel, Victor Weiskopf, and Freeman Dyson. Of interest to physicists interested in arms control issues, nuclear weapons, and international relations; science and defense policy makers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52122914652433,"sku":"NLS9780883186404","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780883186404.jpg?v=1757444201"},{"product_id":"physics-of-societal-issues-book-david-hafemeister-9781441930569","title":"Physics of Societal Issues","description":"Physics of Societal Issues is a textbook those who seek to understand fundamental issues of energy use, nuclear weapons, and the environment using facts and figures instead of slogans and postures.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52352859996433,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52352860455185,"sku":"NLS9781441930569","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781441930569.jpg?v=1758182346"},{"product_id":"physics-of-societal-issues-book-david-hafemeister-9781493950287","title":"Physics of Societal Issues","description":"This book offers tools to analyze complex societal issues using insights gained from informed estimates and calculations.

Using a concept-led approach which serves a broad readership, it provides detailed overview of nuclear weapons, nuclear proliferation and international nuclear policy. The author addresses topics including offensive and defensive missile systems, command and control, verification, weapon effects, and nuclear testing. A chronology of nuclear arms is presented including detailed discussion of the Cold War, proliferation, and arms control treaties.     The book is tailored to courses on nuclear proliferation, and the general reader will also find it a fascinating introduction to the science and strategy behind international nuclear policy in the modern era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52500637548817,"sku":"NGR9783319797793","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"physics-of-societal-issues-book-david-hafemeister-9781461492719","title":"Physics of Societal Issues","description":"This book provides the reader with essential tools needed to analyze complex societal issues and demonstrates the transition from physics to modern-day laws and treaties. This second edition features new equation-oriented material and extensive data sets drawing upon current information from experts in their fields. Problems to challenge the reader and extend discussion are presented on three timely issues:     •        National Security: Weapons, Offense, Defense, Verification, Nuclear Proliferation, Terrorism  •        Environment: Air\/Water, Nuclear, Climate Change, EM Fields\/Epidemiology  •        Energy: Current Energy Situation, Buildings, Solar Buildings, Renewable  Energy, Enhanced End-Use Efficiency, Transportation, Economics     Praise for the first edition:  \"This insight is needed in Congress and the Executive Branch. Hafemeister, a former Congressional fellow with wide Washington experience, has written a book for physicists, chemists and engineers who want to learn science and policy on weapons, energy, and the environment. Scientists who want to make a difference will want this book.\"  Richard Scribner, first Director, Congressional Science and  Engineering Fellow Program, AAAS     \"Hafemeister shows how much one can understand about nuclear weapons and missile issues through simple back-of-the-envelope calculations. He also provides compact explanations of the partially successful attempts that have been made over the past 60 years to control these weapons of mass destruction. Hopefully, Physics of Societal Issues will help interest a new generation of physicists in continuing this work.\"  Frank von Hippel, Professor, Princeton, former Assistant Director,  National Security, White House, OSTP     \"Energy policy must be quantitative. People who don't calculate economic tradeoffs often champion simplistic hardware.‘The solution is more... nuclear power, or electric cars, or photovoltaics, etc.’ Some simple physics will show that the true solution matches supply and demand as an ‘integrated resource plan.’ Physics of Societal Issues is a good place to begin this journey.\"  Arthur Rosenfeld, former California Energy Commissioner,  Professor-emeritus, U. of California-Berkeley","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52673909915921,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52673910636817,"sku":"NLS9781461492719","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781461492719.jpg?v=1762298258"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-david-hafemeister.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
