In the aftermath of the worst nuclear accident at a commercial power plant in the U.S., Harley Pelletier, a young engineer, is selected to design a robotic system to inspect the damaged reactor core. While working at Three Mile Island, he discovers that a core meltdown has occurred. After this discovery, his boss is pushed into the highly radioactive refueling pool, which insures a slow and painful death. Harley is fingered for the crime. He panics and runs as he is sure he is being framed. Harley, who has read about the path of the Underground Railroad, decides to make his escape by traveling along the banks of the Connecticut River and later on freight trains as he journeys up the river through the Vermont landscape. His numerous adventures are both comical and telling of his inner determination as the investigation of this crime unfolds at Three Mile Island and the search for him continues. Harley later takes up hiding in the attic of a condominium complex in a Northern Vermont ski area, slipping downstairs occasionally to share the absent owner's food and liquor, as well as trying to find occasional employment as a horseshoer's assistant. Keeping Harley company during his seclusion is a small baby squirrel that he keeps in his pocket as they commence an interesting cornucopia of adventures together. "Timothy H.

Does the public have a right to be informed about the possible existence of UFOs and the suspicious events that coincide with their supposed presence? How would access to such knowledge affect our society? What responsibility does the government have in learning about UFOs in an effort to protect society? These are the types of questions that authors Robert Salas and James Klotz attempt to answer in Faded Giant. They explore this incidence of unidentified aerial phenomena and its proximity to the Malmstrom Air Force Base (AFB), which is near Great Falls, Montana, and the unexplainable shutdown of nearly twenty nuclear missiles that occurred. Their mission is to provide the public with accurate information surrounding the events that took place at Malmstrom Air Force Base (AFB), which have been concealed by the government for over 37 years!

"The author, a retired United States Air Force Officer, witnessed firsthand a UAP visiting and disabling nuclear missiles; he shares his experience as well as the many incidents during the last eighty years of similar visits that have been covered up"--
Using recently declassified government files, the authors present a compelling argument that the government knows a great deal more about UFOs than it has sshared with the public, and has in fact deliberately concealed the findings of more than 30 years of investigations. Photographs.
Three Mile Island explains the far-reaching consequences of the partial meltdown of Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island power plant on March 28, 1979. Though the disaster was ultimately contained, the fears it triggered had an immediate and lasting impact on public attitudes towards nuclear energy in the United States. In this volume, Grace Halden contextualizes the events at Three Mile Island and the ensuing media coverage, offering a gripping portrait of a nation coming to terms with technological advances that inspired both awe and terror. Including a selection of key primary documents, this book offers a fascinating resource for students of the history of science, technology, the environment, and Cold War culture.
This book introduces the principles of microscopic pathology of acquired skin diseases in a concise, yet comprehensive manner. The underlying mechanisms of the different diseases are discussed with reference to modern knowledge about immunology, molecular biology, and inflammatory response to infections and injury. The book is abundantly illustrated.
The history of biological weapons (BW), chemical weapons (CW), and nuclear weapons is complicated. It can be disturbing, tragic, and occasionally encouraging. It is rarely amusing, although the names selected for certain weapons suggest a casualness toward the consequences of their use: Atomic Annie, Blue Peacock, Dew of Death, Fat Man, Flying cow, George, Gilda, Helen of Bikini, Hurricane, Katie, Little Boy, Lulu, Mike, Red Beard, Sewer Pipe, Squirt. Use of BW and CW in warfare has produced mixed results in terms of effecting the outcome of a battle or campaign; despite this mixed record, both weapon types have attracted intense interest and strong advocacy for further use. The sole experience with use of nuclear weapons in warfare is viewed as hastening surrender by Japan, created competition among nations to develop more such weapons, and influenced efforts to ban any use or even stockpiling of such weapons. Each of these three weapon types has its own peculiar history, as recounted in this dictionary. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries onterms related to NBC warfare, ranging from basic descriptions of substances used to details on incidents and episodes where NBC weapons were used, historical events, persons important to NBC warfare, countries where such weapons have been developed or used, and international treaties and treaty-related organizations.
