Why do governments consistently claim that there is "no immediate danger" from low-level radiation? Why do researchers in this area continually find that they come up against the military? We know we face extinction if nuclear war ever begins. But this unique book says something new. We face the same extinction even if the bombs never fall. The production alone of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons is initiating the death crisis of our species. Dr. Rosalie Bertell's research suggests that escalating radiation levels have already caused some 16 million casualties. Yet even after Three-Mile Island, Windscale (Sellafield) and other catastrophes, politicians and establishment scientists are assuring us that we have nothing to fear. No Immediate Danger looks to the peace movements worldwide, and to the women's movement in particular, to force the radical changes that are necessary for the survival of life on this earth.
As weaponry and warfare have become more complex and sophisticated, so the long-term effects have become more deadly. In Planet Earth Rosalie Bertell proposes that the key to understanding the impact of future wars lies in a close analysis of the past. She shows how the quest for military power has destabilized the delicate natural balance of the earth's ecosystem, causing widespread devastation in environmental, economic and social terms and calls for a new approach to security, which rises above national agendas to seek global solutions to a global problem.
