Mangano, and William McDonnell were members of The Radiation and Public Health Project. Inscribed by Sternglass inside the front cover. Inscription reads To Henry and Jenna The evidence is there, but the public does not know of it. With warmest regards Ernst Oct. 12, 97. Jay Martin Gould earned his bachelor's degree from Brooklyn College and his doctorate from Columbia University. In 1985, Dr. Gould founded the Radiation and Public Health Project, an antinuclear research group. Jay M. Gould was a statistician and epidemiologist whose contention that radiation from nuclear power plants was causing high rates of cancer in surrounding neighborhoods made him a leading figure in the antinuclear movement. , Dr. Gould routinely warned that low levels of radiation from nuclear reactors were far more dangerous than commonly believed and were quietly poisoning Americans. Ernest Joachim Sternglass (24 September 1923 - 12 February 2015) was a professor emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh and director of the Radiation and Public Health Project. He is an American physicist and author, best known for his controversial research on the health risks of low-level radiation from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons and from nuclear power plants. Joseph Mangano, MPH, MBA, is the Executive Director for the Radiation and Public Health Project in New York and has served the organization since 1989. From the rear cover of this 346-page book: "'The Enemy Within' exposes the startling correlation between deadly diseases and proximity to nuclear reactors. Using data from the National Cancer Institute, state health departments, and the Center for Disease Control, author Jay Gould offers official statistical evidence proving that residents of nuclear counties - the 1,321 counties within 100 miles of a reactor - suffer disproportionately from the interaction of nuclear fallout with industrial pollutants and other sources of urban stress. Gould examines why women in nuclear counties have such a hugely inflated risk of breast cancer, why there are large numbers of premature and underweight births, why AIDS and other immune deficiency syndromes seem to be related more to where you live than how you live. The answers lie in nuclear fallout patterns. In the fifty years since the commencement of the Nuclear Age, over 1.5 million American women have died of breast cancer; prior to 1945 the breast cancer incidence rate had been declining. The anomaly is also true for low birthweights and immune deficiency syndromes. [This book] looks closely at the true cost of nuclear fallout - costs we can no longer afford to pay - and it presents our only reasonable solution: to ban the operation of nuclear power stations, nuclear weapon manufacturing, and nuclear bomb testing.".

Trade paperback. Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xvii, [1], 369, [3] pages. Decorative cover. Slight cover wear. Some illustrations in color. Signed on the half-title page by George P. Shultz and Sydney Drell! Abbreviations. List of Figures and Tables. Preface. Introduction. Session I Safety Issues--Nuclear Weapons; Session II Nuclear Reactor Safety; Session III Economic and Regulatory Reform; and Session IV Media and Public Safety. Also includes Conference Agenda, About the Authors, and Index. This book on the nuclear enterprise is the result of a conference held at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University on October 3-4, 2011. A panel of expert contributors offers its views on the risks and rewards of the nuclear enterprise, focusing on issues of safety, regulation, and public perception. Contributors discuss specific experience and issues regarding the technical safety of weapons and power plants, management operations, regulatory measures, and the importance of accurate communication by the media. Among the topics addressed were designing nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons safety, Nuclear Risk Assessment, Naval Nuclear Power, Nuclear Disasters, Lessons Learned, Nuclear Technology, Spent Nuclear Fuel, Fukushima, Federal Regulation, Nuclear Energy, Energy Economics, Public Policy, and Credibility Gap. Among the authors are; Michael May, Burton Richter, Sydney Drell, Michael Boskin, and Jim Hoagland. George Pratt Shultz (December 13, 1920 - February 6, 2021) was an American economist, diplomat, and businessman. He served in various positions under three different Republican presidents and is one of only two people to have held four different Cabinet-level posts (the other being Elliot Richardson). Shultz played a major role in shaping the foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration. He graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He served on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers. He served as Richard Nixon's Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government. In 1970, he became the first director of the Office of Management and Budget, and he served in that position until his appointment as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1972. He accepted President Ronald Reagan's offer to serve as United States Secretary of State. He held that office from 1982 to 1989. Shultz pushed for Reagan to establish relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which led to a thaw between the United States and the Soviet Union. Shultz retired from public office in 1989 but remained active. He served as an informal adviser to George W. Bush and helped formulate the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war. Sidney David Drell (September 13, 1926 - December 21, 2016) was an American theoretical physicist and arms control expert. He was professor emeritus at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Drell was a noted contributor in the fields of quantum electrodynamics and high-energy particle physics. The Drell-Yan process is partially named for him. Drell was active as a scientific advisor to the U.S. government, and was a founding member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group. He was also on the board of directors of Los Alamos National Security, the company that operates the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He was an expert in the field of nuclear arms control and cofounder of the Center for International Security and Arms Control, now the Center for International Security and Cooperation. He was a Senior Fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution.
