He knows the people. He has read every local paper from the period, counted the tombstones, tracked the anecdotes to ground, and studied the dozens of scientific studies on the impact of fallout on the health of the local people. The book recounts how an orgy of fallout hysteria took root in the area twenty years after the moratorium; how it was nourished and rose to political prominence with the aid of journalists, lawyers, and politicians, resulting in a class-action lawsuit against the government; and how it has continued to the present time.
The 1997 National Cancer Institute radioiodine study showed that all Americans alive during the testing period are downwinders. The book is bound to be of great interest to all downwinders still concerned about the latent cancer-causing effects of radioactive fallout exposure.
About 45 percent of the population of United States was under age twenty in 1950.
The author, Dr. Daniel W. Miles, Professor Emeritus, Dixie State College, received his PhD from the University of Utah in 1967. He taught upper division physics, including radiation physics, at Westminster College from 1968 to 1985 and continued his teaching career at Dixie State College. He is the author or coauthor of forty-two publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.показать меньше
