Focuses on radioactive waste and the threat of atomic warfare and argues against the use of nuclear technology

From the leader and spokeswoman of the antinuclear movement comes a revised and updated edition of this groundbreaking, widely acclaimed classic. Exploring dangerous global trends such as ozone depletion, global warming, toxic pollution, food contamination, and deforestation, Helen Caldicott presents a picture of our world and the forces that threaten its existence. As always, she gives a prescription for a cure and cause for hope, rallying readers to action with the contention that our fight for the planet will draw its strength from love for the Earth itself.

Since the 1980s, Helen Caldicott - whom Meryl Streep has called my inspiration to speak out' - has worked tirelessly for a safe, sustainable, nuclear-free planet. Now she has edited Loving This Planet, which offers an accessible overview of the chief environmental and social issues of our times and includes captivating interviews with 25 contributors, including Lester Brown of the Earth Policy Institute, Denis Hayes (coordinator of Earth Day), David Krieger of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and many, many more.'
