"an American scientist and advocate. He was Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology at University of California at Berkeley. Some of his early work was on the Manhattan Project, and he shares patents on the fissionability of uranium-233 as well as on early processes for separating plutonium from fission products. Later in life, he took on a role as an advocate warning of dangers involved with nuclear power. From 1971 onward, he was the Chairman of the Committee for Nuclear Responsibility." "These talks deal with a great many issues. The chance that there exists a single reader who will agree with every point in the book, is (to borrow a classic line from the nuclear sales force) about as low as the chance that you or I will be struck by a meteor. But these talks are meant to provoke discussion and independent thinking." (from Wikipedia); Signed by Author .
