Nuclear geography gives us the tools to understand these events as well as the extraordinary human cost of nuclear weapons. \u003ci\u003eDisarming Doomsday\u003c\/i\u003e explores the secret history of nuclear weapons by studying the places they build and tear apart, from Los Alamos to Hiroshima. It looks at the legacy of nuclear imperialism from weapons testing on Christmas Island and across the South Pacific, as well as the lasting harm this has caused to both indigenous communities and the soldiers that were ordered to conduct tests. Tying these complex geographies together for the first time, \u003ci\u003eDisarming Doomsday\u003c\/i\u003e takes us forward, describing how geographers and geotechnology continue to shape nuclear war and imagining ways to help prevent it in the future. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Becky Alexis-Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745339214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBecky-Alexis Martin \u003c\/b\u003eis a senior research fellow in human geography and a principal investigator for the Nuclear Families Project at the University of Southampton.
