NOW IN EBOOK: Profiles of radiation risks and scientists

The Scientists Who Alerted us to Radiation’s Dangers by Ian Fairlie, PhD and Beyond Nuclear’s Cindy Folkers, MS, is now available in ebook and paperback.

The book profiles 23 radiation scientists over the previous half-century or so, who revealed that radiation risks were higher than thought, but who were victimized by governments and the nuclear establishments for doing so. In addition to the profiles of radiation scientists, the book includes hundreds of references, 14 scientific Appendices, 5 Annexes, a glossary and an extensive bibliography.

What this book reveals is that the harmful effects of radiation exposure especially from the nuclear sector, and especially to children, are more pervasive and worse than thought. These have been known for decades but suppressed by politically-motivated censorship and overt disparagement/persecution.

A big problem is the exclusion of independent voices and members of the public. The hegemony of the nuclear elite, backed by their governments, has kept radiation’s dangers an “inside game”, leaving the public in the dark and thereby violating their human rights, especially the rights of the child.

Praise for the book from Dr. Gayle Greene, Professor Emerita, Scripps College: “This is a fascinating study of scientists who found evidence that radiation risks were greater than official estimates and were demoted, defunded, maligned for their research—but were subsequently proved right. Western governments do not jail dissident scientists, but they make it difficult, often impossible, for them to carry on. Fairlie and Folkers give a fine-grained account of strategies deployed to discredit and silence inconvenient truths.”
