Book Review : “The Nuclear Age” by Jacques Leclerq and Michel Durr

[delosharriman]

Review posted on the book-selling site Alibris, where I gave the book a score of 5/5. (I make no recommendation of any book marketplace over any other — this one gives me Amtrak points, so I tend to shop there.)

Only the French would think to present the facts about nuclear energy in the form of a coffee-table book full of splendid photographs and art, including original paintings commissioned for the purpose. The text is comprehensive and of a high quality, without being overwhelming for the layman, and the figures and appendices provide valuable information which even now is hard to find in such a compendious format.
