Despite not having been used in anger since Hiroshima & Nagasaki the atomic bomb is still the biggest threat that faces us in the 21st century As Bill Clinton's first secretary of defence Les Aspin aptly put it ' The Cold War is over the Soviet Union is no more But the post-Cold War world is decidedly not post-nuclear' For all the effort to reduce nuclear stockpiles to zero it seems that the bomb is here to stay This Very Short Introduction reveals why The history & politics of the bomb are explained from the technology of nuclear weapons to the revolutionary implications of the H-bomb & the politics of nuclear deterrence The issues are set against a backdrop of the changing international landscape from the early days of development through the Cold War In this new edition Joseph M Siracusa

Includes:: a new concluding chapter moving away from the emphasis of nuclear weapons in the 'age of terrorism' to the significant lessons to be learnt from the history of the nuclear weapons era Siracusa shows that because 21st century nuclear proliferation has deep roots in the past an understanding of the lessons of this nuclear history is paramount for future global policies to be successful ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable

THE HUGELY INFLUENTIAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom Cass R Sunstein & Richard H Thaler winner of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Economics Nudge is the book that has changed the way we think about decision-making Nudge is about choices
- how we make them & how we can make better ones Every day we make decisions about the things that we buy or the meals we eat; about the investments we make or our children's health & education; even the causes that we champion or the planet itself Unfortunately we often choose poorly We are all susceptible to biases that can lead us to make bad decisions & as Thaler & Sunstein show no choice is ever presented to us in a neutral way By knowing how people think we can make it easier for them to choose what is best for them their families & society Using dozens of eye-opening examples & original research the authors demonstrate how to nudge us in the right directions without restricting our freedom of choice' How often do you read a book that is both important & amusing both practical & deep?
