Just us again with news of another title up for pre-order this week... Tom
Bolton's wonderful survery of nuclear cultures — scientific,
architectural, ecological, and of course, paranoiac — Atomic
Albion: Journeys Around Britain's Nuclear Power
Stations.
Strange Attractor Press regulars will know Tom's work from our ever
popular titles London's
Lost Rivers, and Vanished
City, and Atomic
Albion is just as lively, richly researched and surprising.
A journey around Britain’s nuclear power stations and the country itself.
From the Essex marshes to the Anglesey coast, from the Dungeness shingle to the
far north of Scotland, Tom explores how nuclear sites shape the places around
them, and enters the awesome world of nuclear power and weapons.
The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar,
but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide
opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of
our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom?
