Atomic adventures : secret islands, forgotten N-rays, and isotopic murder--a journey into the wild world of nuclear science / James Mahaffey.

Mahaffey, James A., (author.). Sellon-Wright, Keith, (narrator.).

Summary:

With clear explanations of some of the most complex scientific endeavors in history, this book looks back at the atom's wild, secretive past and then toward its potentially bright future. Mahaffey unearths lost reactors on far flung Pacific islands and trees that were exposed to active fission that changed gender or bloomed in the dead of winter. He explains why we have nuclear submarines but not nuclear aircraft and why cold fusion doesn't exist.
